From the December U.Michigan Survey of Consumers:

Notice that overall expectations match Democratic expectations, partly because Independents match Democrats more than Repubilcans.

The Republicans stand apart in terms of expectations, remaining quite optimistic. This is shown in Figure 2.

The pattern identified in April persists, with only slightly more erosion in expectations.
