Cato Institute Releases Zogby Poll on Social Security

September 11, 1999

Yesterday, the Cato Institute hosted a Capitol Hill briefing by pollster John Zogby on the results of a new Zogby International poll on Social Security privatization. The poll, commissioned by the Cato Institute, revealed broad support for Social Security reform featuring personal accounts.

"These results transcend a good economy and bullish stock market," Zogby said. "Americans reveal a deep respect for choice. Young and old, white and minority, union and non-union prefer to have options when it comes to Social Security. It is especially notable among those who are under 50 years of age."

"For the White House, Cato is an indispensable source of expertise-with two decades of pro-privatization research and lobbying under its belt, it knows more about the issue (of Social Security) than just about anyone else in Washington."
