Perceptions of the Economy: Highlights of a Consumer Survey

The credit crisis has had broad implications. Recent headlines have included news about large bank write-downs, government bail-outs and changes in lending standards. At the same time, the U.S. economy is being impacted by rising food and oil prices and declining housing values. So just how much is the current U.S. economic climate being felt on Main Street? 
  
To answer this question, Deloitte commissioned a survey from Harris Interactive, interviewing a nationwide sample of 2,019 U.S. adults from June 5 through 9, 2008. 

Key findings from the survey include those on:

  • Perception and behavior
  • Obtaining credit
  • Home purchases
  • Credit card usages
  • Banking relationships
  • Presidential politics

Read the briefing deck below that provides highlights from the survey’s findings.
