by on

News release: “On the eve of the 74th anniversary of Social Security, nearly nine in ten (88%) Americans say Social Security is more important than ever as a result of today’s economic crisis, and three-quarters of Americans say it is critical to preserve Social Security even if it means that working Americans have to pay higher taxes to do so, according to a poll released today by the National Academy of Social Insurance (NASI) and the Rockefeller Foundation.”

  • “Report: Economic Crisis Fuels Support for Social Security: Americans’ Views on Social Security by Virginia P. Reno and Joni Lavery, August 2009: “This report highlights findings from a poll jointly sponsored by the National Academy of Social Insurance and the Rockefeller Foundation’s Campaign for American Workers Initiative. The poll of 1,488 Americans, conducted between July 7-14 by the Benenson Strategy Group, sends a strong message to policymakers about the value that Americans place on Social Security benefits for themselves and the country as a whole.”
