The IBD/TIPP Economic Optimism Index is the earliest take on consumer confidence each month and predicts with good reliability monthly changes in sentiment in well-known polls by The Conference Board and the University of Michigan. To gauge Americans’ views on the U.S. economy, the IBD/TIPP Economic Optimism Index is based on a survey of 1,200 adults conducted using a network of online panels. The national poll is generally conducted in the first week of the month.

The IBD/TIPP Economic Optimism Index is made up of three subindexes, including one for the respondent’s outlook six months into the future, the respondent’s personal financial outlook, and how the respondent views current federal policies. The goal each month is to give as accurate a reading of the current state of the U.S. economy as possible.

IBD/TIPP also produces the Presidential Leadership Index at the beginning of each month.
