Last week, USA Today  highlighted the results of a new national poll released by Americans for Secure Retirement, Lake Research Partners and Public Opinion Strategies. Of note, the poll found, “88% of 800 registered voters said they were concerned about maintaining a comfortable standard of living in retirement, up from 73% last year.”

The story quotes Bill McInturff, founder of Public Opinion Strategies, stating “This recession has been so terrible and so long that we essentially have flattened consumer confidence across essentially everyone in the country. It’s not happy data.” Celinda Lake, of Lake Research Partners, agrees with McInturff and points out that retirement anxiety has now come to forefront of voters concerns.

Both pollsters were quick to mention the poll results showed that gender, education, and political party did not factor in to the surveyors opinions. In other words, retirement insecurity has become a concern for American voters across the United States.

Don’t become one of the 88%; take the steps to educate yourself about financial planning so you can enjoy your retirement and avoid the stresses plaguing millions of Americans.
