It could hardly have gotten worse, but consumer confidence seems to have gotten a shade less awful in the past few weeks. Anyhow, Gallup’s tracking poll on the topic finds pessimism “easing slightly.”

In mid-October, 60 percent of Gallup respondents rated the economy as “poor.” In the past two weeks, the “poor” tally has fallen to a mere 55 percent. (These days, you take your good news as you find it.) Along the same lines, the percentage of respondents saying the economy is getting worse has also fallen a bit, from 88 percent to 84 percent.
