Americans’ perceptions of economic conditions have deteriorated since April, reflecting the economic pain born by many households as a result of the coronavirus crisis, particularly in the form of widespread job and income losses, according to recent trends in the Investor’s Business Daily/TIPP Poll. However, consumer views on the economy are improving, signaling a growing sense among the public that the economy may be on the road to recovery, as the labor market continues to heal, a recent resurgence in coronavirus infections appears to slow, the stock market hits new highs, and states around the country further ease restrictions. Accordingly, as Americans slowly emerge from the economic doldrums created by COVID-19, we anticipate a gradual rebound in consumer confidence in the months ahead.
