LOS ANGELES -- March 3, 2020 -- The IBD/TIPP Economic Optimism Index, a leading national poll on consumer confidence, experienced a near double-digit decline (9.9%) in March, just one month after reaching its highest point in 16 years. On top of this month’s 9.9% overall drop, the index’s Six-Month Economic Outlook component fell by 16.1%. This is the largest percentage drop within a month since October 2013. Despite this and because the index had hit such a high in February 2020 (59.8), March still yielded a reading of 53.9, maintaining its record run in positive territory for the 42nd consecutive month. An index reading below 50.0 for the IBD/TIPP indexes indicates pessimism.

Tesla is miles ahead of the competition when it comes to the brands Americans associate with electric vehicles, largely reflecting the pioneering automaker’s ability to captivate the public imagination with its innovative technology and vision, according to a recent nationwide survey conducted by TechnoMetrica.
