Americans’ confidence in the economy is holding steady, with the public a bit more negative than positive about U.S. economic conditions. Gallup’s Economic Confidence Index for the week of June 17-23 was -8, virtually unchanged from the last two weeks, but down slightly from a peak of -3 in late May and early June. Confidence remains on the higher end of what Gallup has measured the last five years. [cont.]
