Consumer Confidence Highest in Five Years

Consumer Confidence Highest in Five Years

Another sign that the economy is recovering is that consumer confidence in the economy is at the highest level in 5 years according to the October University of Michigan survey. Rising stock and property prices as well as falling unemployment are responsible for consumer having a brighter outlook. It is expected that an improving economy will blunt one of Mitt Romney's key arguments: that Obama has mismanaged the economy.

But it needs to get out to voters!

Has to be talked about on the campaign trail and in the media.

Make the election about the good economic news and the turnaround!
