Consumer sentiment fell sharply in March, with Democrats’ expectations for the economy hitting an all-time low, according to the University of Michigan’s latest consumer sentiment survey, highlighting an unprecedented partisan divide in economic outlook.
The survey’s headline index dropped to 57.9, down from 64.7 in February, reaching its lowest level since November 2022. While sentiment declined across income levels and age groups, Democrats saw the sharpest deterioration, with their expectations index plunging to 28.2—a level lower than during the 2008 financial crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic, or Donald Trump’s first term.
By contrast, Republican expectations remained high at 95.7, marking a 67.5-point gap—the largest partisan divide ever recorded in the survey. Independent voters saw expectations decline to 51.8, putting them closer to Democrats than Republicans for the first time in years.

That’s because Liberalism is a mental illness.
Merely illustrates their economic ignorance.
The important part of the story is that the aggregate is sitting at 58% despite the relentless negativity of the MSM beating on public opinion 24/7.
It isn’t the economy that has Democrats feeling despair, they are freaking out because Trump cut off their free money supply from stolen taxpayer dollars and their wealth and power are evaporating.
Democrats cannot find jobs in the private sector that don’t receive government largess. They are screwed, and they know it.
Schadenfreude! More, more, more.

True! It doesn’t matter how great the economy is if the paycheck you receive (from surfing the internet at home all day) is taken away.
Even if groceries are free...the Loonie Lefties will scream and shout about the cost of gas to get to the store...because...well...Trump.
Democrat voters have more advanced degrees - which teaches them:
- cutting wasteful government spending is bad.
- enforcing immigration laws is bad.
- shipping manufacturing jobs overseas is good.
- you can become a girl by cutting off your penis.
- the world will end in 5 years (which they’ve been saying for 25 years).
Doesn’t say much for advanced degrees.
It’s not surprising they are panicking because their standard news outlets are 24x7 pounding how bad DOGE and tariffs are for the universe.
So the democrats are deliberately trying to tank the number !
