Consumer confidence has seen a slight increase as gas prices have fallen. This improvement is reflected in the Conference Board's consumer confidence index, which rose to 91.2 in June.

The increase, although small, indicates a slightly more positive attitude toward the economy among Americans. However, it's noted that the overall outlook remains mostly negative when compared to historical standards.

Further details on the current state of consumer confidence and its relation to the economy can be found through the Conference Board's reports, as referenced by local news sources such as KSAT 12.
