Quick Poll: Results Are In!In February, we asked for your opinions in our Quick Poll. Here are your responses. Look for future surveys to tell us what you think.
1. How would you describe the current economic environment for your business?
Despite a sluggish economy, 53% of the respondents view the current economic environment somewhere between good and excellent. Still, that figure is down considerably from the same point last year (75%).
2. What are your hiring plans in the next six months?
Just 20% of the respondents anticipate adding jobs, down from about 40% in February 2007. Slightly more than 60% plan to maintain their current employment levels.
3. Do you have plans to modernize or increase your investment in plant or equipment
More than half of the respondents have no plans to modernize or invest in equipment within one year. Just over 11.0% plan to increase or modernize equipment in the next three months, down from 17.7% six months ago.
4. How do you intend to vote in the 2008 presidential election?
Half of the respondents intend to vote for the Republican presidential candidate, up from 45% in August 2007; 19% intend to vote Democratic, down from 22% in the same time period. Some 28% are still undecided.
