NEW YORK, August 19, 2008 –Optimism in the U.S. economy among CEOs of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies dropped two points in the second quarter of 2008, with almost one out of four (24 percent) of CEOs surveyed for PricewaterhouseCoopers’ Trendsetter Barometer reporting a positive outlook on the economy over the next twelve months. After previously setting 16 year lows in the first quarter of 2008 (26 percent) and fourth quarter of 2007 (29 percent), optimism remains well below last year's 64 percent (2Q07). Pessimism leveled off at 36 percent as sharp quarterly drop-offs appear to have stabilized.
