Citi (C) issued the results of a new nationwide survey conducted by Hart Research Associates with some expected and not so expected findings. Overall, the findings show that Americans have a sober view of the economy and feel they are little or no better than a year ago. Read the press release here.
Here are some of the findings:
80% rated economy as poor or fair
52% rated financial conditions as about the same as a year ago
36% believe economy has hit bottom
59% believe we have a long way to go before we hit bottom
55% will spend the next year focusing mostly on reducing debt
66% are hopeful that their own situation will improve over the next year
More than two to one say they are worse off than better off than a year ago.
