This is one of many survey showing a rebound in consumer confidence since August ...
U of Michigan - from 82.0 (Aug) to 85.4 (Sep) to 92.3 (Oct preliminary) (note: but still less than 100)
TIPP - from 44.6 (Aug) to 50.5 (Sep) (note: but barely over 50)
Conference Board - from 100.2 (Aug) to 104.5 (Sep) (note: but barely over 100)
ABC/Money - from -19 (Aug 27) to -8 (Oct 8) (note: but still negative)
From Aug to Sep, the percent of people thinking economic conditions are getting better increased from 22 to 31 percent (but still less than 50 percent), according to the Gallup Poll.
Similarly, in the ARG Poll, in a similar questions, the percent increased from 13 to 31 percent (but still less than 50 percent).
AFTER FIVE YEARS of economic expansion, it looks as though a growing number of people are catching on, but although the number is maybe still less than a majority.
