Some may or may not know that I am a frequent participant in gallup polls. Yes, I know I am not a big believer in poll #'s in terms of deriving truth in things like elections or whatever, but it is fun to see some of the polls and surveys they have, so I participate.
Anyway... here is the text from the latest thank you note I have from Gallup.
Thank you for recently taking part in a Gallup Panel survey.
Because you were willing to share your thoughts and opinions with us, we thought you
might enjoy reading about some recent findings from Gallup Panel surveys.
--In recent weeks, global economic factors and reduced demand have continued to
drive gas costs downward. However, average prices at the pump are higher than what
they were a year ago. Looking forward, about 80% of panelists say that one year from
now they think gas prices will be somewhat higher (40%) or much higher (41%) than
they are today.
--While on the campaign trail, Barack Obama and John McCain have spoken about their
ideas for the U.S. healthcare system. A recent Panel study asked respondents to
choose from a list of five options what they considered the biggest healthcare
concern.
A majority of panelists (57%) say the cost of healthcare is their biggest concern,
while 20% add that the number of uninsured people is most concerning. Additionally,
9% of panelists say the cost of prescription drugs is their main concern. About 12%
of respondents say the quality of care is most concerning, while 2% say their
biggest worry is not having enough choices of doctors and hospitals.
--Gallup asked panelists to identify which of five options they consider the best
long-term investment. About the same percentage of respondents say savings accounts
or CDs (28%), stocks or mutual funds (28%), and real estate (26%) are the best
continuing investments, while 9% of panelists say bonds or "other" investments are
best for the long term.
