...making America even greater...from the attached article...

According to the latest data from the Conference Board on Tuesday, the consumer confidence index surged to 108.7 in October, up from 99.2 in September. This leap represents the most significant monthly increase since March 2021, surpassing analyst expectations, who forecasted a modest 99.3.

This comes as Election Day (November 5) quickly approaches in which Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, will face off against former President Donald Trump, the GOP nominee.

The consumer confidence index provides a pulse on Americans' perceptions of current economic conditions and their outlook for the next six months. Particularly telling is the jump in short-term expectations for income, business conditions and the job market, which reached 89.1. This number is critical, as a reading below 80 may signal an impending recession, according to the Conference Board.

Additionally, the share of consumers predicting a recession within the next year has dipped to its lowest level since mid-2022.
