Revealing Divisions in Consumer Sentiment: US Consumer Survey Insights Extra

What's Inside

The Coresight Research monthly US Consumer Survey Insights Extra series offers a more detailed or specific take on trends and data from our weekly surveys of US consumers.

This month, we explore how US consumer sentiment has changed over the last six months, as discussed in our US Consumer Survey Insights report published last week. We analyze consumer sentiment around whether consumers expect their household financial situation to improve or worsen over the next 12 months, as well as their expectations for the US economy over the coming year.

This report also includes results on consumers’ shopping behaviors from our weekly survey questions aggregated in four-week increments over the past few months.

Data in this research report are our proprietary survey findings on:

• Consumers’ expectations for the US economy over the next 12 months, broken down by income, age group and geography
• Consumers’ expectations for their own financial situation over the next 12 months, broken down by income, age group and geography
• Aggregated monthly data on activities, avoidance, online and in-store shopping, and food and nonfood retailers consumers shopped with, September 2023–April 2024
