Those clever and evil liberals -- they created this survey 80 years ago knowing it would be used 80 years later to make Trump look bad!

Of course, Hassett is also lying about the Conference Board's Consumer Confidence index. He said it was at it's highest point in a year, when in reality it was higher as recently as December 2025. Also, in Joe Biden's final month in office (January 2025), the index was at 105.30. In February 2025, it dropped to 100.10, then to 93.90 in March. while it went up mildly in a couple months since then, the high point was 98.70 in July. Consumer Confidence under Trump has not come remotely close to the level under Biden (For the record, it was 112.80 in November 2024 uder Biden, and started dropping significantly immediately following Trump's election).
