American Economic Optimism Rises to Highest Levels in Years
The economy of “good vibrations”
One of the best kept secrets in the world today is that Americans feel much better in the economy that they have done for years.
You can never scroll through the headlines in the financial press or listen to the Nabobs to have negatively on commercial television channels. Even the The best than expected news on the job market Last week was presented as not really so good, with liberal analysts and experts complaining in a way in a way with a right face that there was too many government jobs bulging the employment report. More jobs going to Americans than foreigners? They call it a shortage of labor. All good news is transient or illusory or simply a head buttock.
In a way, it is the photographic negative of the vibration narrative Pushed relentlessly during the Biden administration. The wired networks and the financial media insisted that the economy was much better under Joe Biden than the public was willing to admit it. People were not satisfied with the economy due to “vibrations” rather than real facts on the economy, history has gone.
If the vibcesse existed, it is now definitively completed. The last survey shows that Americans now feel good vibrations on the American economy. CIVIQS, a daily online monitoring survey that measures public opinion with demographic weighting and smoothing of trends, has shown some of the best figures for years.
More people are happier from their family finances and the national economy
Let’s start with the issue of personal finances. When asked how the financial situation of a family developed in the past year, 19% said it improved.

Likewise, the share saying that things have worsened in the past year are down to 33%, the lowest since January 2022. Consequently, the “net better” shares – although always negative – has been its best since May 2021.
Zip the national economy And the story is similar. The share of people saying that the economy is quite good or very good is at its highest level since 2021. The share of saying that things are very bad has been the lowest since May 2021. The “net” is always negative – which makes more people are unhappy than happy with the economy, but at its best since October 2020.

When asked if the economy improves or empire, more people always say that the economy is getting worse than improvement. But the share of saying that things are improving has climbed 36%, the highest since June 2020. The “net best” figure corresponds to the number of the public election, which was the highest since 2021.
It is not only the CIVIQS survey. Yougov’s latest survey for the Economist Tell a similar story. The share of registered voters who say that the economy is improving has reached the highest levels since the beginning of 2021, according to the weekly tracker.
The brilliance of this Ramping Redewry was not lost in the financial markets.
