Iowans still feel five years on from financial crisis poll
The Iowa poll of 800 adults finds 90 percent see the financial system at risk for another crisis and 75 percent say they have not recovered. Maxine Weimer of Marion illustrates ongoing strain as she and her husband plan longer work lives and keep rates steady for customers. A fringe of respondents report ongoing retirement losses and continued expense cuts amid political gridlock. The survey, Sept 22 to 25, by Selzer & Co. carries a 3.5 point margin of error.
