Floridians' confidence in the economy slipped for the first time in five months, according to a University of Florida survey.
Consumer sentiment among 424 Floridians polled between Oct. 1 and Oct. 23 dropped a point in October to 82.
The lowest index possible is a 2 while the highest is 150, according to the Sun Sentinel.
Floridians were especially glum about their own finances. The measure of whether their finances are better now than a year ago fell four points to 71, while their expectations of being better off financially in a year dropped a point to 82.
