Half of the drop from May's peak to today's levels has happened in just the past two weeks, since the government shutdown started on October 1.
At -41, the index is at the lowest level since December 12, 2011 - almost two years ago. In other words, two weeks of government shutdown has helped erase two years of gains in consumer confidence.
Only 28% of those polled by Gallup say the economic outlook is getting better, whereas 67% say it's getting worse.
