The University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment index for September settled in at 58.6, down slightly from preliminary readings of 59.5, according to findings from the school’s Surveys of Consumers. That’s the highest reading since April. These mixed views were voiced by dozens of CNN Business readers, who said they thought the economy was improving somewhat, but were worried whether it would last. Many also said they continue to be burdened by high costs for food, housing and other necessities.
A family pack of chicken now costs around $20, he said, up from $13, while ground beef costs $1.50 more. He’s paying more for yogurt and snacks that Marley brings to pre-K. Meanwhile, his rent shot up to $1,580, from $1,300, over the past two years, and he just got a notice from his electric company that the monthly charge will jump by more than $15.
What person in their right mind wld see record high inflation, soaring interest rates, plunging stock market, & increasing costs of housing, gas, food, utilities, plus outrageous healthcare costs as 'promising signs of improvement' did you interview toddlers? No one I know agrees
No one feels positive about the economy. What crap.
What a joke!! Gas prices went up again and food prices are high than ever 🤦🏽♀️
More fakenews Once fake news Always fake news BANCNN BANFAKENEWS
That’s a damn lie!!!
Look at the economics cnn. The Great Recession is back thanks to bidumb. Look at the data … this is why your network is a joke
All our problems will be solved and go back to normal, as soon as we eliminate Putin and his entourage. That's how the world should be working on😎
CNN trying to prop up the Democrats.
How do you come up with this BS? Feeling more positive? What a damn joke.
Still spouting TheDemocrats propaganda! Imperial butter went from .99 cents to $1.79, Milk $4/gallon to $6/gallon, Gas $3.70/gallon to $5.70/gallon. I'm concerned as is everyone I know!!!
Who Is this a Breaking News LORD!!!
'Democrats are feeling more positive about the economy and falsely believe inflation will settle down — but plenty of uncertainty is still swirling.' I fixed your headline for you.
That’s a crock of shit
Who the hell are you asking?😂
😅😅
What Americans are those? Please tell me because I have heard a single one with a positive outlook. FAKENEWS
Wow…another zinger of a headline. Only people that think the economy is good work in the White House.
Manufactured uncertainty by the MAGA party is still swirling around for sure! What is their answer to inflation? None.
Leave it to CNN to once again pounce on Biden with lies. They not covering the pyramid scheme of a sham from Wall Street yet they rather try to constantly try and help lie for GOP. Jesus remove the stumbling block with Fox as well Newsnation Newsmax
3 out of 330 million is not a representative sample.
You are joking Clown News Network
I don't know what Americans they are talking to but everyone I know is struggling due to higher costs and those costs are still going up.
Bull crap 💩 fake news
I filled up with 'reg' yesterday at $4.50 a gallon. Got a small pacjage of chicken for $9. Were just getting used the suck. People OD'ing left and right and murders in the 'safe' suburbs. People in charge suck and dont care
Positive indeed!
通胀只会高起，不能平缓，这是金融的基本常识！即使未来百姓会死在通胀上，也要让他们知道真相，和被谁给掠夺了，这才公平！新闻媒体帮着掩盖事实，愚弄人民，这就是犯罪！太可耻了！你们！
Manure.
No Americans are feeling close to that 🤡
prop·a·gan·da. Information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view. CNNisFakeNews
Oh please can't you just be honest with America and with yourselves for once.
Why don't you take a poll to see how we feel about cancer cures, or cold fusion, or gravitons. Who gives a shit how we feel. That is not news. Is there recession coming or not? This is why you dont sell the news.
More fake news. Nothing positive about high inflation, rising interest rates, or stock markets that have lost 20%. According to real economists, the worst is yet to come because of biden's incompetence and failed policies from COVID lockdowns to higher taxes, and increased regs.
This is inane Prices have been rising because people are buying things
CoverIranianprotest
CNN is to Democrats what FOX is to Republicans. Headlines do not match the article. Journalism 😂🙄
Americans are not feeling positive about the economy and we don't see inflation going down any time soon. Who did you ask, 300 people in Martha's Vineyard? There's more than enough uncertainty and then some to go around since Jimmy Carter. Bidens policies are still there cnn.
S T I L L F A K E N E W S CNN still failing at even remotely reporting the facts!
That is the vain hope of those herds close to the rotten establishment. The story of those in charge of events,and the opinion of some neutral experts tell some thing different.Can u make your grim future simply by multiplying false and powerless words? Impossible! Headless U are
Nah not at all
Yeah right! CNN says we are all great with the economy and rising costs! In your dreams darling!!!!!!
Spin upon spin The fake News media are at it again
No one is feeling better with fed rates rising 4.5% in less than 8 months and inflation jumping from 2% to actual 9% BidenDestroysAmerica
It's comical to see how CNN is trying to put a false positive spin in our out of control inflation. The only Americans feeling positive eitjer work for the government, are members of Congress or think they'll get student loans paid off.
Really? Politics lives in a different universe
They will show how positive in November
Meanwhile the gas in LA is above $7 again.
No shit, sherlock
I'll feel more positive when the stock market turns around.
You’ve fired Jeff, Chris, Brian and basically Don. Yet you still can’t feel the pulse of the people. Wow.
Wrong
Who? Where? The propaganda machine keeps pumping out wonders lol
Since July of 2021 Biden has been telling us this is temporary. Meanwhile inflation is at a 40 yr high. American household wealth fell by $6.2 million in Q2. 401ks are half. Stock market is plummeting and there is no end in sight. No one is feeling positive.
What kind of crack is CNN smokin?
Who’s feeling better? The interest rates are at its highest, Inflation is at its highest, savings and 401K’s and IRA’s are at the lowest!
This is propaganda.
What world is CNN living in?!?! Good lord
Absolutely zero people feel that way. We are in a recession, 1.2 Million people are about to lose their jobs in the next few months, evictions are up, food is up, utilities are up, literally everything is up. Maybe if you would report the real news then your ratings might go up.
This is agenda driven BS. The economy is getting worse, not better. There’s a reason why the stock market has been a total dumpster fire. We’re in a recession.
stop lying!!!
Warning: Biden midterm election brain wash just kicked off
Haha 🤣😂 NO THEY DONT 🙄🙄
Lies
SHUT UP, CNN are horrible bias liars 😡
No. No they are not feeling more positive about this outrageous malignant Biden inflation. Get a clue.
Nope, Americans expect heating bills to double thanks to the anti oil party.
Which Americans, exactly?
Come on man, inflation is transitory and borders are closed. New CNN thought we were making progress. One step forward two steps back? Be better
Lmao who are you talking to ? Not the average middle class hard working population
I thought the new chief Chris Licht said y’all were going to report actual news instead of being the PR wing of the Democratic Party. Guess that, like ridiculously laughable story, is just more bullshit🙄
What kind of study that’s showing America feel good about the economy lol they must not include me I guess
Lock 45 up in jail and I am sure the mood will change instantly💯✊🏾💯🤨
State TV
Sentiment is kind of irrelivent in the face of reality
Propaganda
As an American, I can tell you we are NOT feeling positive about inflation settling down. I’ve never been as broke as I have been within the past 2 years, that’s including 2 pay raises, and I still can’t compensate for expenses on gas, grocery, etc. to take care of my family 😢
Lies like this is why...
Strong belief maybe raised them,,,,
현직경찰청장에게 3억원 나라에서 주시면
CNN and donlemon are clowns 🤡
We’ll get ready for disappointment
Huh which Americans? Democrat politicians and media networks?
LOL. Fairy tales.
Psyop
Who is saying that because I don’t know anyone who is not concerned with the economy. The same people who is stating wages are rising.
Farmers and ranchers are saying food shortages are coming.
Maybe since at the moment NATO admits Ukraine as a member, we formally begin WW3
Thanks for telling us how we feel.
FAKE NEWS at it again. The economy is a disaster!!!
Aint no “Americans” feeling positive about anything in the economy right now, who you foolin
What color is the sky on your planet ?
Americans are feeling good about the economy because I'm making stock purchases affordable for low-income families.
😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
That a f’ing lie. Americans are broke because of the economy and there’s no end in sight.
Must be the ones without 401Ks.
Who in the heck does CNN talk to for this information? MediaLies
The sentiment improved less than 1 BPS from August but CNN here calling it a rebound 🤣 It's more than -20+ compared to last year!
That’s some fake news lmao you can’t lie your way out of a recession 😂 good try though
Lies
It’s all Biden’s fault.
You have to be insane to believe anything from cnn.
The Democrats are beyond reproach & the mainstream media is complicit.
Who is saying that. Cause they are lying. I can’t even make it with the money I bring home. I need help. Come talk to me. Smh
C’mon CNN Makes you look like the WH PR dept Content like this is what you’re supposedly trying to get away from
Lol not with Brandon in office. And I thought inflation was down to 0 according to Brandon a couple weeks ago?
