Farms and restaurants are now the only parts of the U.S. economy that a majority of Americans view in a positive light, according to a new Gallup survey.

Nearly every other industry, from banking to education to movies and sports, sees fewer than half of Americans holding positive views of them now, compared to one year ago. In Gallup's study, the organization asks survey participants to rate various business industries using a five-point scale that ranges from"very positive" to"very negative." Only one industry — computers — sees an even split, with 50% of survey respondents holding a positive impression and the rest either viewing it neutrally or negatively. But that is down from a record 75% positive ranking for the industry in 2017.
Overall, the average positive rating across 25 industries has fallen to 36% — near the 34% low seen in 2008, Gallup said. No business sectors saw a significant uptick in favorable reviews over the past year, the polling group found. Notably, the positive rating for the grocery industry tumbled 14 points from last year, in tandem with the gradual increase in food prices.
