Economic confidence ticks up: Gallup
The Hill ^ | 08/30/2204 | Filip Timotija

Posted on 08/30/2024 8:45:42 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Americans’ confidence in the economy ticked up this month, despite the majority saying the country’s financial state is “getting worse,” according to a Gallup poll released Friday.

Respondents who said the economy is “getting better” shot up by 7 percentage points to 31 percent. Still, the majority of poll respondents, 63 percent, said the economy is getting “worse.”

Despite some respondents stating the economy is improving, their outlook on the current economic conditions remained the same, the survey found. Nearly half of Americans, 45 percent, said the current economic conditions were “poor.” About 31 percent said they were “only fair,” and nearly a quarter, 24 percent, said they were “good” or “excellent.”

Gallup’s Economic Confidence Index, which looks at Americans’ outlook on the economy and assesses the current economic conditions, increased by 8 points, has gone from minus 35 to minus 27 in August. This was the index’s first improvement since March, Gallup noted.

That’s equivalent to someone saying that, his family is financially doing badly but they’re economically better off. Pr. that someone broke his leg but is walking better.

The scum media know that low-info voters read only the headline. Ticked up to 31% with 63% saying the economy is getting worse. That does not show a lot of confidence in the economy.

Exactly. This is a measure of how effective the propaganda is.

Which are people gonna believe - the MSM passing Kamala’s drunken cackles as “joy”, or a nearly-unreported jobs revision showing that the job gains previously reported were just a lie?

"Americans’ confidence in the economy ticked up this month, despite the majority saying the country’s financial state is “getting worse,”

The sHill version of CNN's “Fiery but mostly peaceful protests,...”

Demand "affirmative action" in media/academia!

Not surprising that confidence is up. Especially after hearing good news like:

"The chocolate ration has been increased from four ounces per week to three ounces per week."

“Looking forward to a Trump presidency I’ll warrant“

That’s what I thought about a poll reported yesterday on 710WOR that showed that “most Americans think our best days are ahead of us.”

Americans’ confidence in the economy ticked up this month.

The MSM has always had a padded bra and sock in it’s pocket.

All the other headlines posted around this one seem to point to more BS from the communist Hill and its partners in propaganda.

That thar’s funny.
All I know is October pricing, Corn is down, Beans are down.
When farmers aren’t doing well, there is a ripple effect. Also, There are 18% fewer eggs incubating so there will be a decrease in chickens in 5 months. (Lower supply - higher price)

I think people believe Trump is going to be President and feeling better about the future. Voting democrat is just going to bring more of the same crap.
