More than half of respondents to a recent Bankrate survey said they think the presidential election poses the biggest threat to the U.S. economy in the next six months.
Americans might really have nothing to fear but fear itself, but when Bankrate.com did a survey recently about what Americans think poses the biggest threat to the U.S. economy over the next six months, fear of the 2016 election was front and center. Fully 61 percent of respondents said the gravest threat to the well-being of the economy is the outcome of the presidential election. That’s far more than cited terrorism, struggling overseas economies, a drop in stock market or an increase in interest rates.
