Abstract

The purpose of this article is to help people interested in economic policy gain a deeper insight into how Americans see their own lives, including economic aspects, and to provide some perspective on how Americans are responding to major events. The authors look at Americans’ views during 2004 in six main areas: the nation’s economy; their own personal finances and economic worries about the future; their own community; their personal religious faith; business and other private institutions; and government, including their priorities for government action. These observations are drawn from more than fifty public opinion polls representing Americans’ current and historical views on these matters.
