Wed, Jan 1, 2025 at 7:07 pm

Although 2024 didn’t rate very high in most Americans’ estimation, a new poll suggests that a majority expect much better in 2025. Details on this from reporter Bernie Bennett.

The 36% who rate 2024 at least a good year is slightly up from last year, when 34% said the same about 2023.
