Weekly Survey Tracks Consumer Views on the State of the U.S.
\nEconomy <\/p>\n

NEW YORK — Bloomberg News announced today the launch of the
\nBloomberg Consumer Comfort Index, a weekly, random-sample survey
\ntracking Americans\u2019 views on the condition of the U.S. economy,
\ntheir personal finances and the buying climate. The survey,
\nformerly sponsored by ABC News since 1985, will be released on a
\nweekly basis beginning Thursday, February 17 at 9:45am ET on the
\nBloomberg Professional service and subsequently on
\nBloomberg.com. <\/p>\n

The Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index is produced by Langer
\nResearch Associates of New York. Each release includes results
\namong 1,000 randomly selected adults, with breakdowns available
\nby age, race, sex, education, political affiliation and other
\ngroups. The Index has significant long-term correlations,
\nincluding on a time-lagged basis, with a variety of key economic
\nindicators. <\/p>\n

In addition to its three measures of current sentiment, the
\nConsumer Comfort data include a monthly gauge of economic
\nexpectations, based on the share of Americans who say the
\neconomy is getting better, getting worse or staying the same.
\nThe first expectations results will be included in this week\u2019s
\nrelease. <\/p>\n

\nBloomberg\u2019s continued commitment to the most comprehensive
\nreporting of the U.S. economy,\u201d said Matthew Winkler, Editor-in-
\nChief of Bloomberg News. <\/p>\n

\nconditions,\u201d said Gary Langer, president of Langer Research
\nAssociates. \u201cWe\u2019ve tracked these attitudes in representative,
\nnational surveys on a weekly basis continuously for 25 years.

\ndata and news reporting is ideal for Bloomberg\u2019s news and data
\nclientele.\u201d <\/p>\n
