OUTCOME.
So what are we to make of these results? Note that a full quarter of those polled expect a TOTAL economic collapse.
If we add the last two catagories together, we get a result that indicates almost half (47%) expect the global economy to collapse!
Note that only 13% of those polled expect Y2K to have little or no affect on the economy. Which means that out of 400 people polled, a full 87% expect at least a recession or worse.
These are very sobering numbers, aren't they?
As for the 13% that still believe it'll be a "minor glitch" scenario, remember that 15% of the population still think the world is flat. 15% still think we never went to the moon. This seems to be consistant: no matter how much evidence you present, around 15% will deny everything.
