CNN Poll: Americans' views of the economy have improved but overwhelming majority still say it's in poor shapeBrandon Bell/Getty ImagesBy Ariel Edwards-Levy, CNN(CNN) -- Americans' views of the economy are the best they've been in more than a year, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS -- but they're still pretty bad, with 7 in 10 saying it's in poor shape. More broadly, only about 31% of Americans say things in the country are going well today. Asked to explain their view of how things are going in the US today, both 35% of those who say things are going well and 52% who say things are going badly mention economic factors, but not the same ones. On several major issues, Americans say their views more closely align with Republicans than with Democrats. On each issue tested, 28% or more of Americans say their views don't line up with either party.
