Gallup has a variety of economic surveys that I find interesting.
Here are charts of three that I find especially noteworthy:
–
Americans’ Standard of Living Optimism: (reported November 5, 2010)
–
U.S. Economic Confidence (reported November 9, 2010)
–
U.S. Consumer Spending (reported November 11, 2010)
–
At each link, details of each survey are presented.
These charts, along with other Gallup economic surveys, should be interesting to monitor going forward. Although I believe that (economic) surveys, in general, should be interpreted with caution, these Gallup surveys appear to provide a valuable additional perspective on various economic aspects.
