TIPP Poll data on Americans' perception of the economy is the foundation for this section. Topics covered include U.S. consumer confidence, consumer sentiment, job market, economic growth, recession, financial stress, economic outlook, personal financial outlook, federal economic policies. We also cover trade, taxes, and debt. Our TIPP economic optimism index, financial stress index, job sensitivity metrics, and other polling on current economic issues drive the discussions.
Of the 21 demographic groups the RCM/TIPP Economic Optimism Index tracks each month, 20 declined in April. The one that didn't barely moved. As Middle East tensions mount, the data captures something rare: a nation united. In anxiety.
