The
Rasmussen Consumer Index was established in October 2001 to measure the
nation's economic confidence on a daily basis. The measure is somewhat
similar to monthly indicators such as the Conference Board's Consumer
Confidence Index. For a variety of reasons, including the fact that the
Conference Board collects its data via U.S. mail, the Rasmussen Index is
typically two to six weeks ahead of trends reported by the monthly
confidence indicators.
The
Rasmussen Investor Index measures the economic confidence of those who own
at least $5,000 worth of stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. Nearly half of
all Americans fall into this category. Since Investors are more likely to
vote, roughly 60% of voters belong to the Investor Class.
The
table below summarizes recent data for Consumers, Investors, and
non-Investors. Later this week, we will add historic data back to November
9, 2002. Additionally, we will provide further economic data including
ratings of the economy and perceptions as to whether the economy is
getting better or worse. Data is currently available on the number of
Americans who believe the country is in a recession,
whether Americans think the overall economy
is getting better or worse, and whether their own personal
finances are getting better or worse.
The
"Components" summarized below are actually sub-sets of the overall
confidence data. Current, refers to to Current Assessments of Economic
Conditions. Expect refers to Future Expectations of Economic
Performance.
