NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Consumer confidence fell for the third straight month in October to its lowest level since March, a survey said Tuesday, raising red flags for the holiday shopping season as well as President Bush's chances in next week's election.

The Conference Board said its consumer confidence index fell to 92.8 from a revised 96.7 reading in September. Economists surveyed by Briefing.com had forecast a drop to 94.0. The reading was the lowest since March, when the index stood at 88.5.
