U.S. consumer sentiment fell in April for a second time in three months as gasoline prices rose to a record and violence intensified in Iraq, a survey by the University of Michigan found.

The university's preliminary index of consumer sentiment for April fell to 93.2 from 95.8 in March....

The index had fallen in February by the most since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the U.S. after rising the most in a decade in January....

Damn voters -- you tell 'em everything's coming up roses, but they just won't listen to reason. Maybe the Bush campaign will have to run some economic ads with a different tone....
