Title: ***9% Rate U.S. Economy As Good or Excellent - 65% give a Poor Rating *** Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on September 06, 2011, 08:20:40 AM http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/business/indexes/rasmussen_consumer_index/rasmussen_consumer_index
Quote The Rasmussen Consumer Index, which measures the economic confidence of consumers on a daily basis, held relatively steady on Tuesday at 63.7. Consumer confidence has fallen four points since Friday’s disappointing jobs report and is at its lowest level measured in three weeks. The Consumer Index shows little change from a month ago, but is down 15 points from three months ago. It typically takes a full week before the impact of a jobs report is fully measured in the Consumer Index. Just nine percent (9%) rate the U.S. economy as good or excellent, 65% give it a poor rating. The Rasmussen Investor Index has rebounded slightly from a sharp decline following the jobs report. Still, at 72.7, investor confidence is down five points from Friday's report. The index is up one point from a week ago, six points from a month ago but is down 12 points from three months ago. |
