Flemington, NJ, November 5, 2008 – The results of a study conducted by HCD Research among 2,726 self-reported Republicans, Democrats and Independents revealed that while the majority of all parties reported that the economy will improve within three years, they were divided on the issue of health care coverage.

The study was conducted by HCD Research and the Muhlenberg College Institute of Public Opinion (MCIPO) during October 31 through November 2. Detailed results of the study are available on www.mediacurves.com

During the study, participants were asked who they were voting for as well as their predictions regarding key election issues such as the nation’s economy, energy, objectivity of the media, health care and other issues.

The Media Curves web site provides the media and general public with a venue to view Americans’ perceptions of popular and controversial media events and advertisements.
