A Consumer Vote of Confidence for Trump?

Many of those who voted for Hillary have been scratching their heads wondering why the stock market has performed so well since the election. Will consumer confidence numbers for November due out on Wednesday show that consumers in general, and not just voters, are more optimistic about the economy’s likely direction under President Trump in the months ahead? If so, look for the datum to come in at the high end of estimates ranging from 99.6 to 104.5.  The last reading was 98.6, down a sharp 5.5 points from October.
