Italy's Government Gets Low Marks on Economy in Latest Poll

Only a third of Italians say the country’s populist ruling coalition is doing enough to foster economic growth, while more than half say those efforts are insufficient, according to an opinion poll in newspaper Corriere della Sera.

“In general, the work of the government on economic issues doesn’t let you foresee an overall improvement among the majority of citizens,” Ferdinando Pagnoncelli, president of polling company Ipsos Italia, wrote in presenting the poll’s results in Sunday’s edition.
