Providence City Survey, September 2009

January 1, 2009

An overwhelming majority of respondents to a new citywide survey believes the Providence economy is not faring well, and more than half say their families are worse off financially than they were one year ago. Most people polled are generally satisfied with city services. The survey, conducted Sept. 16-19, 2009, is based on a sample of 480 registered voters in Providence, R.I.
