NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — A majority of Americans believe the current economic climate is bleak, but that the outlook for next year is much better, according to a CNN/Opinion Research Poll released Monday.

The poll shows that 78% of respondents believe the state of the nation’s economy is poor or very poor. Only 19% think the economy is somewhat good, and a mere 3% say it is very good.

However, when asked what economic conditions will be like a year from now, 46% of respondents expect conditions to be somewhat good, while 6% expect very good conditions.

So a good chunk of us are on the same page.

Hi, President Obama.
