Another recap from our friends at @marketplace discussing the latest data from our joint #economicanxiety poll
-New Marketplace-Edison Research poll shows economic anxiety rising as we approach the election
-A year ago, 33% losing sleep over paying their bills or losing their job or saving for retirement, now it’s up to 39%
-Edison's Larry Rosin: "Even as cold, hard, economic data was has shown that people should be feeling better about things, Marketplace’s reporting has shown that people are not getting the message; economic anxiety is up dramatically"
-Edison's Larry Rosin: “It simply must be the election season that is driving these numbers in the direction they’re going. The two major party candidates are saying that the economy is bad and needs dramatic improvement.”
-Two-thirds of Americans don’t feel financially secure
-Only 19% of African-Americans say they feel financially secure
-There is a large discrepancy between men and women – 42% of men say they feel financially secure as compared with 28% of women
