Gallup: U.S. Investors See Trade-Offs With Low Interest Rates

From Gallup.com:

Nearly two in three investors (63%) say they think policymakers should take into account the harm low interest rates do to older Americans when they seek to keep interest rates low for an extended period of time. This includes 61% of nonretirees and 68% of retirees. Low rates tend to be more of an issue for retirees, given their greater dependence on low-risk investments for their retirement income....

More than three in 10 investors say they fear outliving their retirement savings (42%), that they expect to live or are living less comfortably in retirement (38%), that they are forced to delay their retirement (33%), or are saving less for retirement (31%).  The only non-retirement concern above the 30% level is giving less money to charity (35%).
