The most recent U Michigan 'Survey of Consumer Sentiment', which is THE authorative source in the US, shows consumer sentiment at the lowest levels since the survey started in 1977
From the U Michigan page: https://www.sca.isr.umich.edu/
or from the FED https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/UMCSENT
Sentiment is just vibes though.
Everyone hates Walmart but they still do gangbusters numbers.
So people may be hating, but they sure as hell are also still spending
