Confidence in the United States economy has seen a modest uptick since before the U.S. election, recent polling shows, though Americans are still far from optimistic about the country's financial future under Trump.
Gallup's latest Economic Confidence Index (ECI), calculated from a poll of 1,005 adults conducted from January 2 to 5, is at -19, suggesting the public's continued gloom about the economy. Although lower than December's -14 reading, this represents an improvement from -26 in late October.
