Poll: Consumer confidence takes a hit in New Jersey
The number of New Jerseyans who say they are better off financially now than they were last year has dropped, according to a recent Fairleigh Dickinson University survey.
The university’s PublicMind poll found 26 percent of residents say they are in a better financial spot than they were last year – down six points from January 2012, according to the survey.
The poll found no change from January of people who report being worse off, according to the survey, which also reports that more residents – 26 percent – say they expect to be worse off financially in the upcoming year than the 19 percent surveyed believed so in January. (Arco, PolitickerNJ)
