interest rate cut  coming.  

 

I don't think so.

I guess those meetings where the White House called in the media to insist they improve their messaging is paying off.

The economy... Not so much.  Not if you listen to the voters.

Well, first off, that headline came from an article in the Washington post reporting on the latest polling. But, Charleskerins did make an odd choice in choosing The Post which has a firewall. So all he posted was a headline. 

Anyway here's an article on the topic that can be accessed by anyone:

America's economic mood is improving fast: survey

https://www.axios.com/2024/01/19/us-consumer-sentiment-index-umich

 

In a way, this poll reflects what Americans already were believing believe about their own economic prospects vs the prospects of the economy as a whole. Several different polls from different organization have results that show more Americans are optimistic about their own prospects than are pessimistic. But when asked about the economy as a whole, they were still believing it was in bad shape. Do I need to point out the contradiction here? This is like the results that educational surveys come up. When asked about the state of education as a whole in the USA, more believe it's in bad shape. But when asked about their local school systems, they mostly approve.

Do you not comprehend the meaning of consumer confidence surges?

What makes these photos really shocking is that before Biden became President, homelessness in the USA didn't exist.

What's laughable is how perceptions of the economy are skewed by political allegiances. This is a poll from Civiqs.

The economy is improving for the upper middle class and rich.

 

Middle class is poor.

 

Poor will be poorer.

Nearly a million Americans got double-digit raises as a result   Joe Biden !    took a recession and turned into a recovery   Passing the Infrastructure Bill Was a Huge Win.

Yes Iowa has such a huge population and they were able to conduct the poll that quickly ,is this a failed attempt at humor or a successful attempt at stupidity?

My SP500 funds hitting ATH's - Great.

I look at the VIX volatility chart - very low right now. Great.

 

All the politics stuff. You can fight amongst each other. No interest.

Under Trump, the cost of living is rocketing. We analyzed why.
