On a personal level, 36 percent think their household's financial situation will improve over the next 12 months, while 11 percent think it will worsen.

Those who say things have looked better in the past month are generally optimistic (79 percent), while just half of those who say things are getting worse feel positive about what 2017 holds for the country.
