Roughly 83 percent of respondents said the state of the economy was poor or not so good, according to a new poll from the Wall Street Journal and the University of Chicago’s NORC.

《华尔街日报》和芝加哥大学全国民意研究中心（NORC）的一项最新民调显示，大约83%的受访者认为美国的经济状况糟糕或不景气。

That's the highest dissatisfaction level since NORC — one of the country’s largest independent research organizations — began conducting the poll in 1972.
NORC是美国最大独立研究机构之一，该机构自1972年开始进行这项调查，此次调查的民众满意度跌至了最低水平。

In addition, more than a third of respondents said they are not satisfied at all with their financial situation.
此外，超过三分之一的受访者对自身财务状况非常不满意。

Forty-six percent said they have no chance at improving their standard of living this year, and 38 percent said their financial situation is worse now than it was in the past few years—the first time since the aftermath of the global financial crisis in 2008.
据《华尔街日报》报道，46%的受访者表示今年无法提高生活质量，38%的受访者称，他们的财务状况比过去几年更糟，这是自2008年全球金融危机爆发以来首次出现这种情况。
