New
2009 "Struggling to Make Ends Meet" national poll National findings, plus results for MN, IA, ND, SD, MT, ID, WA and OR
This poll of 4,000 asks how Americans see the struggle within their households and communities, what they're doing in response, and what they expect their elected officials to do to reduce the number of people struggling to make ends meet.
This is the fourth year the Northwest Area Foundation has commissioned Lake Research Partners, Washington, D.C. to conduct this survey. We revised the questionnaire this year because of the deep recession. The findings reveal families have been hard hit, have made sacrifices, taken action and expect officials to do more to help.
You can download the data, summaries, and a Toolkit for Action that will help you apply these findings to your work with community, policymakers, and the media.
Please share the findings and tools with others. Also let us know how you plan - or are already using - these findings in your work, info@nwaf.org. Thank you.
