Gallup: Economic Confidence Spikes

Between Aug. 26-28 and Sept. 5-7, the Gallup economic confidence index rose by 17 points -- from -33 to -16 -- a remarkable jump in just over a week.

It's the highest level of economic confidence in the Gallup tracker since earlier this year when jobs were growing more quickly.

The measure could be an outlier as there's little other evidence to suggest a spike in economic confidence. But if it's accurate, changing views on the economy could have a major impact on the election.

5. Hmm why is this not on ABC, CBS, FOX, MSNBC, Yahoo, etc.???

Oh, because their headlines today are: Obama Convention Bump Despite Jobs Reports.

And you know, how they buried the fact that the ADP jobs report was much better, and the manufacturing is up, and the purchasing is up, and the home prices are up, and homes are being sold in mere days with bidding wars, the auto industry here has been seeing massive sales and profits again. Like that???
