U.S. Economic Confidence Down

Gallup's U.S. Economic Confidence Index fell to -19 for last week

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Gallup's U.S. Economic Confidence Index declined slightly to -19 for the week ending Oct. 21, from -17 the week prior. Despite the slip, this is little changed from the trend since the week of Sept. 3, when confidence significantly improved from one of the lowest points of the year.
