Election 2004 Summary

Welcome

 

 

If we ask Americans whether their personal finances will be better in a year, most will always say yes. The sheer consistency of the data makes it meaningless in terms of gauging economic conditions, however, that basic optimism is important to remember when evaluating the U.S. economy.

To get a more current measure of the public mood, we ask if their personal finances are getting better or worse these days. The results are summarized below. This data is used with other information to determine the Rasmussen Consumer Index and the Rasmussen Investor Index.
