and aside from around March & April of this year. (I can't determine the exact months because I can't find data without registering, so I'm just reading the graph).

Looking at the Expectations index on your 2nd graph, its the lowest its been since 2013 aside from around March & April of this year and aside from slightly lower levels during the worst of the 2022 inflation months.

I also read from the Conference Board's report:
https://www.conference-board.org/topics/consumer-confidence/press/CCI-Jun-2025

Consumers’ average 12-month inflation expectations to 6.0% (down from 6.4% in May and 7% in April).

6.0% is pretty darn high.
