The National Academy of Social Insurance, AARP, the National Institute on Retirement Security, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce released new survey findings on Americans’ views on Social Security.
Unlike most public opinion research on Social Security, which asks about each policy option individually, the survey, conducted in partnership with Greenwald Research, features a unique trade-off analysis that allows it to capture the full picture of Americans’ views on how lawmakers should address the program’s long-term financing gap.
