Nearly half feel savings becoming less safe
A poll commissioned exclusively by Channel 4 News at Noon reveals almost half of those questioned feel their savings are less safe than a year ago.
The exclusive poll carried out by ICM Research on behalf Channel 4 News, shows that 45% of people now feel less safe than they had done previously, and only 6% feel more financially secure, a massive decline in confidence.
One in six of those surveyed have either withdrawn savings from banks and building societies already, or are seriously considering doing so, a total of 16% of those canvassed. This is not really surprising given the daily news bulletins at present, although this survey was done on the day the £500m bailout was announced, so current confidence may be even lower.
The poll also showed that women are more pessimistic than men.
