• News Sources Shape Consumers’ Economic Outlook
  From May to October 2024, a Numerator survey of approximately 5,000 U.S. households showed that people who followed Fox News, Truth Social, and Newsmax were more likely to say they were struggling or doing the worst they had ever been, whereas people who got most of their information from MSNBC, CNN, PBS, NBC News, and ABC News were more likely to say they were doing just fine or prospering. However, verified consumer receipts and transactions showed that, no matter where those surveyed got their news, the amount of everyday retail items they purchased—and not just the prices they paid—increased from 2019 to 2024, suggesting they were consuming about the same as or more than they were five years earlier, even if they said they were struggling or doing the worst they had ever been.

Nearly half the respondents who worked from home at least some of the time said that if they had to completely stop working remotely, they would be likely to leave their jobs. The percentage of people who were willing to quit rose with the amount of time they were currently working from home.
