“The American consumer is starting to shake out of a lingering bad mood,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“When The Wall Street Journal asked 1,500 voters in late August for their feelings about the economy, 34% said it is improving, up from 26% in early July. The share who thought the economy was worsening fell to 48% from 54%.”
Axios: Spending, incomes and inflation were all heading the right direction in July.
