Gallup's Economic Confidence Index is the average of two components: Americans' views of current economic conditions and whether they think the economy will get better or will get worse. The index has a theoretical maximum of +100 -- if all Americans rated current conditions as excellent or good and thought the economy was getting better -- and a theoretical minimum of -100, if all Americans rated current conditions as poor and thought the economy was getting worse. The current score of -8 indicates that overall, Americans are still more negative than positive about the state of the U.S. economy.

 

For the week ending Nov. 9, 24% of Americans said the economy was "excellent" or "good," while 29% said it was poor. This resulted in a current conditions score of -5, up from -9 the week prior.

Economy

Who were the dumb asses that said it was excellent :wtf:

well depends... first of all ur own conditions make u biased one way or the other many times

 

also, where in the Country u live may make a difference too

 

Someone in Canada who lives in Alberta is far more likely to say the economy is good than someone who lives in Newfoundland...

 

In the US someone in booming North Dakota is far more likely to say the economy is good than someone living in Detroit
