University of Michigan's consumer sentiment report says folks less happy

Edited on Fri May-28-04 12:45 PM by papau

University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index was at 90.2 in May, down from 94.2 in a preliminary report for the month and 94.2 seen in April - the measure of consumer expectations came in at 81.6 in May, down from 85.8 in the mid-month report and 87.3 in April. The current conditions index for May also fell to 103.6 from 107.2 in the mid-month report and 105.0 in April.

On edit: this is by subscription - so to avoid a problem these are via our friends at ING who released a report that quotes these numbers.
