Gallup Economic Confidence Index Falls

Princeton, NJ, March 24, 2010--The Gallup organization said Tuesday that its Economic Confidence Index fell to minus 31 in the week ending March 21, the lowest point since November.

Consumer confidence rose in December, January and much of February. In the last week of February, however, confidence dropped significantly, Gallup said.

The most recent weekly poll asked consumers about current and future economic conditions.
