BIGResearch just released the latest findings of their American Pulse(TM) survey and, no surprise, the economy has America’s pulse racing.
Key findings include:
- Nearly three out of five Americans say rising food and energy costs worry them the most.
- Close to sixty percent of those surveyed say they are having problems paying their bills.
- Almost 25% of those surveyed say their rent and mortgage payemnts are either late or in danger of falling behind.
- As a result of the financial stress, 71.3% say they have cut back on their spending and just over 40% are staying home for the holidays.
Not spreading the good cheer
While times are tough all over, more than two out of three Americans have no interest in seeing the government bail out the auto industry. This reluctance extends to retired workers as well, with 58.5% of those surveyed saying “no” to bail out collars going to cover retiree health benefits.
