CONSUMER INDEX UP

Rasmussen- The Rasmussen Consumer Index gained two points on Sunday to 116.1. That's the highest reading since August 7. In fact, with the exception of two days in early August, it's the highest level of consumer confidence measured in nine months.

For the first time since August 7, the number of Americans who say the economy is getting better reached 30%. That figure had fallen as low as 17% in September and October.

The Index, which measures the economic confidence of American consumers, has shown increasing confidence since Labor Day. It is up ten points from a month ago and twenty-one points from three months ago.

Currently, this Index is within five points of its 2005 high-water mark and twenty-two points above the lowest level of the year.
