“Consumers’ confidence in their ability to get a job and the overall economy are seen as important indicators of how freely they will spend, especially on big-ticket items such as cars, in coming months.”

If consumers were blue, there’d be a blue wave. But people are feeling pretty good and unlikely to make major changes in November, IMHO. Still work and get out and vote - but let’s be real. Momentum is with Trump and his candidates. If he campaigns for you, you win 9 out 10 times. I’ll take those odds

Indeed. It is curious that they didn't mention that it all kicked in as soon as he left.
