Majority Of Americans Aren't Swayed By Fed's Promises To Keep Interest Rates Low

I wonder how many of these types of research are thorughly validated by sophisticated technical means.  If not, they are simply generated for people that have nothing better to do (and are still on some payroll) and/or people with political/financial motives.

Aw come on Rhett, the article says that the survey was conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International.  Princeton is the home of the esteemed Economics Professor Paul Krugman.  How can you possibly think that there could be political motives?

You do have a point, Stewie.  But what statistical samples/population are they using?  What is the confidence level?  What is the time frame (most just started the refinancing last week)?  What is the ecology of the areas being surveyed?  Who are they doing that for?  To state bluntly that 3/4 of Amrican people aren't swayed is too bold/silly a statement to me regardless how accurate and how respectful this survey looks.

Being a statistician by profession and hobby, I do not trust any of those surveys, without a full set of supported technical data.

Maybe this one is more trustworthy than others (Princeton doesn't mean much to me -- by Rhett:D), but I was referring in general.

Where are all those people who are doing so well financially.  All I hear about are people losing jobs and being afraid to borrow these days.  Everything is upside down from what Bernanke intended to do or maybe this IS what he planned!

BTW, Shorebreak, I think you forgot to include your link with the info we can click on.  You know how much I enjoy misreading your articles. :)
