January 14, 2025: Forty-six percent (46%) of voters say they paid all credit card balances in full over the past month. A Napolitan News Service national survey conducted by RMG Research found 45% have made partial payments on some credit cards.

The survey found that 42% are able to regularly set aside money in savings and/or retirement accounts. Fifty-three percent (53%) have all of their income going to current living expenses.

Methodology

The survey of 1,000 registered voters was conducted online by Scott Rasmussen on January 6-7, 2025. Fieldwork for the survey was conducted by RMG Research, Inc. Certain quotas were applied, and the sample was lightly weighted by geography, gender, age, race, education, internet usage, and political party to reasonably reflect the nation’s population of registered voters. Other variables were reviewed to ensure that the final sample is representative of that population. The margin of sampling error for the full sample is +/- 3.1 percentage points.

Scott Rasmussen is the president of RMG Research, Inc.
