New Yorkers are feeling more optimistic about the future according to the latest consumer sentiment poll conducted by Siena College. The survey showed about a 9% increase in sentiment putting it around 2-1/2 points behind national figures. New Yorkers remain more optimistic about future economic conditions than the nation as a whole and that’s credited to the COVID-19 vaccine, more stimulus checks and the reopening of the economy. The poll was taken during the first week of March.
