Economic and consumer confidence have jumped to four-year highs.

The overall Rasmussen Reports Economic Index rose nearly seven points from 139.3 in January to 145.9 for February. Enthusiasm about the economy started to grow immediately following the 2016 presidential election and continues to show the highest level of confidence since this tracking began in 2014. In President Obama’s final years in office, this index reached a high of 121.5 only once in January 2015 and was at 108.1 in his last month in the White House.
