Perceptions of the U.S. economy have reached a record high among voters, according to a new poll.

Two-thirds of voters polled, 66 percent, said in a Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday they would characterize the economy as “excellent” or “good.” Quinnipiac noted that figure is the highest rating since it began asking the question in 2001.

Thirty-three percent, however, said they view the economy as “not so good” or “poor.”
