Many Americans Already See The Economy As Improving
Perception is everything in politics — or nearly everything — and it seems heading toward July, the American consumer is starting to feel confident again.
An unscientific poll of our audience over on Twitter, still ongoing, reveals that so far 44% of respondents have “increasing” confidence in the US economy, while only 25% have “decreasing” confidence.
Here we are, less than five months from Election Day, and the economy seems to be front and center in many voters’ minds — not obscure occult scandals, not WikiLeaks emails, not “Clinton Crime,” and not the Biden family’s extensive past dealings in Ukraine and China.
Despite the growing confidence many Americans have in the economy, the Dow saw its worst day yesterday since mid-March, although this morning’s Dow Jones futures are reportedly up more than 500 points, a sign that investors’ fear yesterday may have only been temporary jitters. Time will tell.
