The Rasmussen Investor Index fell three points on Sunday to 74.6. That’s down seven points from last week, up three-and-a-half points from last month and is eleven points higher than the first reading of this year.
Only nine percent (9%) of adults rate the economy as good or excellent, while 58% disagree and say that it is poor. Twenty-five percent of adults believe the economy is getting better and 51% say it is getting worse.
Separate data shows that 85% of Americans are worried about inflation and 34% expect higher interest rates over the next year. It’s tax day and Rasmussen Reports has provided a summary of recent polling on the topic.
There’s a glimmer of good news in this month’s release of the Rasmussen Employment Index. After declining for five straight months, prospects for the labor market stabilized as the Employment Index inched up slightly. The Discover Small Business Watch also showed improvement in confidence among small business owners. In addition, the Discover Consumer Spending Monitor recovers after suffering record low.
