US consumer sentiment, tracked by the University of Michigan, has reached record lows this year, dropping 13% year-over-year in September. Goldman Sachs attributes this decline not just to economic factors like inflation, but to broader societal unhappiness and decreasing trust in public institutions. Data shows that overall happiness levels have not recovered since the pandemic, with fewer people reporting feeling "very happy" and more feeling "not too happy." This broader pessimism may weaken the usefulness of consumer sentiment as an economic indicator, even if economic growth continues.
