January 2015 Us consumer confidence 102.9 vs 95.5 exp via ForexLive

• Prior 92.6. Revised to 93.1
• Current conditions 112.6 vs 98.6 prior. Revised to 99.9
• Expectations 96.4 vs 88.5 prior
• Jobs hard to get 25.7 vs 27.7 prior. Revised to 27.3

That's a major jump for confidence in the US but although the index has improved over 2014 it hasn't manifested itself in increased activity in consumer sectors like retail sales. Take with a pinch of salt until we see those improvements on the ground.
