Consumer Confidence has dropped to a level not seen since 2014. It has dropped 24.2 points from Biden's Number

OP is a common lie tactic the left employ, where they give a piece of info. to sell narration without providing content and context...They employ it almost every story edging all of them, fact checks too.

The great portion of the slide in consumer confidence occurred in 2024... a lessor dump when Trump became potus. See link...

Ask yourself how many libs would have a positive pitch on it, being they're cowards to just lazy and ignorant. Surely u know tds more than that, **** democrat Ice ok, Trump ice end of days. No democrat will say we're going in the right directions, what do polls even mean besides their favorite cigar or in a lib case a penis color

I think its neat how the libs get the money and real estate but oh no.......personally I'm fine, small time penny pinch say, my kids should be good. The reality is don't matter who potus, America is for sale led by California as the flagship to foreigners, there are a ton of people, taxes high, have to cover public debt too...while the masses will continue to lose spending power, somebody is willing to pay for it. Things got fucked up bad with covid, it's not going away so much.

Lucky me I have no needs, **** ill never replace my driver truck, sub outback good another 6 years before I buy another newish one. That's right, this conservative drives an outback for many miles use...my brother says it screams, look I'm a lesbian or tree hugger🤣

Can fit an 8 ft ladder, wheel barrel, and bunch of tools,, sometimes I need that stuff when on the road, and tons of storage underneath the back. Plus a German Shepherd takes it up most use. Convenient as ****, todays station wagon and good gas too, nevermind for sierras

You can believe what you want to believe but the reality of all of this will be seen in November when people vote. If they are happy and having a better life, the Republicans will win. If they lose, your opinion now will be proven to be wrong, especially since the Democrats have done nothing for which to gain votes . If the Republicans lose, it will be all about Trump!
 
In October 2024, the Consumer Confidence number was at 108.7. After the election euphoria of Trump's win, the November number came in at 111.5 but the number that came out yesterday was 84.7, which is the lowest number seen since 2014. It is a 22% drop in confidence among All Americans.

What this means is not only that Americans have lost Confidence in Trumps handling of the economy but due to his actions this year they are not only lower than during his first term but lower than Obama's last 2 years in office.

Oct. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index® increased in October to 108.7

Post election euphoria lifts US consumer confidence to 16-month high ...

Nov 26, 2024 — Consumer confidence index increases to 111.7 in November ·

and yesterday:

US consumer confidence dives to a more than 11-1/2-year low

January 27, 20264:01 PM EST. The Conference Board's consumer confidence index plunged 9.7 points to 84.5 this month, the lowest level since May 2014

What has caused this to happen?

AI Overview

U.S. consumer confidence dropped to its lowest level since 2014 in January 2026, driven by intense anxiety over stubborn, cumulative inflation, an increasingly sluggish labor market, and concerns about future business conditions. Consumers are feeling the weight of persistent, high prices and a pessimistic outlook on both current situations and future prospects.

This is all Trump! This is what Americans across the board are feeling and thinking. Trump "talking" about things getting better and being better is NOT going to help the Republicans at the midterm elections. It is going to take actual changes (not empty talk) to make any difference. The midterms are not about the Democrats getting better but about Trump and the Republicans stopping making things worse.

Will Dems win the House in November? Analysis shows a strong chance.

The Cook Political Report just shifted 18 races in Democrats' direction.

Democrats See Path (though narrow) to Senate Control in 2026

2 days ago — Interviews with key strategists and donors reveal why Democrats might flip the Senate in 2026 through races in these states:

If by any chance, both the House and the Senate flip Democrat, Trump will find it impossible to continue his plans. Heck, he might even be impeached. Trump is predicting that will happen if both the House and the Senate flip.

Trump predicts he will be impeached if Republicans lose the midterms

If Republicans aren't victorious, "I'll get impeached," Trump said.

This all means that Trump has 9 months left to make things better. Given what has happened this last week, things are not looking good.



Thanks to Biden:

cumulative inflation

Congressman Jason Smith (R-MO), Chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, is explicitly a conservative Republican, having been rated as the top conservative in the Missouri delegation by the
American Conservative Union. His political positions are strongly aligned with conservative principles, such as supporting the pro-life movement and Second Amendment rights.
Key points regarding Representative Jason Smith's political alignment:
 
Thats the media the economy is surging and consumer spending is up, wages up many prices down. It may also be an outdated sample.
Democrats have some serious obstacles ahead of them. Polls have always been wrong about Trump. As the economy continues to improve Trumps ratings will improve.
One more sample of Trump's ills.

His Bitcoin company ABTC debuted at 42.71 and today it closed at 1.56. Gold is up $200 today at $5557, up from $2800 in January 2025. People running away from Trump. They are scared!

Trade balance soared 94% in November and was higher than a year ago, despite tariff efforts​

The U.S. deficit with its global trading partners nearly doubled in November as the shortfall with the European Union swelled and the impact of President Donald Trump’s tariffs worked their way through the economy, the Census Bureau reported Thursday.

Following a month where the trade deficit hit its lowest level since early 2009, it shot up to $56.8 billion, an increase of 94.6% from October. Of that gain, about one-third came with the European Union, where the goods deficit rose by $8.2 billion. The goods deficit with China decreased by about $1 billion to $13.9 billion.

On a year-over-year basis, the deficit through November stood at $839.5 billion, or about 4% higher than the same period in 2024.


US consumers are paying 96% of the cost of tariffs.
