The U.S. Sentiment Signal™

A monthly scorecard for the United States. It rests on one principle. Government should be judged the way any organization is, by the results it produces and measured against its own record. Ten indicators span economic health, government trust, and social confidence, drawn from official federal data on FRED and the latest published readings from Pew and Gallup. Each data point is tagged by source so you always know whether you're looking at a measurement or a modeled baseline.
