1. The labor crunch has eased, according to corporate earnings calls.
2. Younger women leaning liberal. “From 2001 to 2016, women aged 18 to 29 were more likely than their male counterparts as well as older men and women to identify as politically liberal. However, as Gallup has reported previously, a recent jump in young women’s liberal identity, not matched by the other groups, has widened the gaps, particularly with young men.”
3. More crises these days, according to SOTU speeches.
4. The dynamic American economy. “Productivity for US technology firms has surged by nearly 40 percent since 2005, yet it’s little changed for European companies. This significant difference is underpinned by much greater innovation efforts among enterprises in the United States, where research and development spending as a share of sales is more than double that of Europe.”
5. Percentage of Americans receiving various government benefits.
6. Chiefs atop the betting markets’ pick to win Superbowl.
