The U.S. Sentiment Signal — Triente Insights
The U.S. Sentiment Signal is a monthly-updated read on the mood of the United States, blending official federal data with trusted national surveys into a single interpretable view of national well-being. It is built and maintained by Triente , a strategic advisory, advanced analytics, and primary market research firm.
What we track
Economic Health
Headline macroeconomic indicators of household and national financial condition: the unemployment rate from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Consumer Price Index for inflation, real GDP growth, the University of Michigan Index of Consumer Sentiment, and related measures of labor-market slack and purchasing power. These series come primarily from the Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED) repository and are updated each month as the underlying agencies release new prints.
Government Trust
Public confidence in the federal government as measured by major national pollsters: presidential approval, congressional approval, and trust-in-government series. We aggregate widely cited public-opinion sources to give a clear monthly read on civic confidence rather than relying on any single poll.
Social Confidence
Confidence in the major institutions of American life — including media, large business, the scientific community, public safety, and organized religion — drawn from long-running national surveys. Together with the economic and government series, this category rounds out a vital-signs view of how Americans feel about the country and the institutions that shape it.
How it's built
Each indicator is sourced from a public, citable origin — the Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED) service, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. Census Bureau, or a named national pollster — and is refreshed on the cadence the source publishes. The dashboard renders the most recent value, the historical trajectory, and a green/yellow/red threshold that puts the current reading in context. A full list of indicators is available, and individual series link through to a detail page with sourcing and history.
