Hi, this is Jill Schlesinger, CBS News Business Analysts, certified financial planner, and

host of the Money Watch Podcast.

This is the show where your money is not scary.

It is a show that's all about you. It's your questions that make it possible for me to provide

unconventional and entertaining insights on your money and maybe more importantly on your life.

Follow Moneywatch wherever you get your podcasts.

You can listen ad free on the Amazon music or Wundery app. Welcome to face the nation. I'm Margaret Brennan. Good morning. We've learned

that the number of Americans who say things are going badly in this

country, particularly with the economy, is at the highest

rate it has been during the Biden presidency.

Six out of ten Americans surveyed feel uneasy or worried about the state of the country.

Today we'll hear from key players in both parties,

the head of Senate Republicans campaign efforts, Florida Senator Rick Scott,

and a top House Democrat New York Congressman

Hakeem Jeffries. Plus we'll take an in-depth look at the state of the economy and

talk with former Defense Secretary Robert Gates who offers a little bit of optimism for us.

We begin with our CBS News poll.

Joining us now to help us break it down is CBS News Director of Elections and

surveys Anthony Salvanto.

Anthony good morning great to have you here at the table.

Thank you for having me.

Great to be here.
