Public Opinion PowerPoint Presentation on Retirement Issues
Between August 28 and August 31, 2005, The Tarrance Group, in conjunction with
Lake, Snell, Mermin/Decision Research, interviewed 1,000 registered voters nationwide about retirement security issues. Specifically, the poll studied public attitudes toward automating 401(k)s and IRAs; an area receiving substantial attention among analysts and policymakers, but never before polled with such a large sample. The results show strong support from the majority of voters for automatic enrollment in 401(k)s and other private savings provisions under consideration by the 109th Congress; 71 percent of voters favor a fully "automatic 401" which would include automatic enrollment, automatic investment and automatic contribution increases over time, with the opportunity to opt-out at any stage. A vast majority (85 percent) of voters said that if they were automatically enrolled in such a 401(k) they would not opt out even when given the opportunity to do so.
