Here's what citizens of 11 advanced nations really think of their economies

That's what respondents from around the world said when asked by the Pew Research Center if they thought the condition of their national economies was good or bad.

A median of 56% of the respondents from advanced nations described their economy as bad, versus 40% who described it as a good.

Some advanced countries have become more satisfied with their current economy but are less hopeful that it will improve in the next year - like the UK - while countries such as Israel have become more pessimistic about the economy but more hopeful about its future.
