Californians Show Resilient Optimism | San Jose News

Californians are holding their ground despite economic headwinds, with consumer confidence inching up 1% year-over-year — a modest gain that’s still 5% below the 20-year average. While current conditions feel tougher (down 9%), forward-looking optimism is surging 13%, suggesting resilience amid political and economic turbulence. Nationally, confidence is down 5%, but California’s outlook is brighter than most states — with New York and Florida leading the pack in gains.
