The final results for the 2009 Mini Poll are done and now tabulated. So first, here's the question asked: "How long do you believe this recession will last?" For the month of December there were 33% that see it will be much longer than 2012 and another 33% who believe we are going to be in a Depression. There were 13% who believe it is over now at yearend 2009, and various smaller percentages for 2010, 2011 and 2012 to make up to 100%.

These numbers are interesting because this voting took place during the month people do their Christmas shopping. While the sample size of the vote was only 24, it was interesting how gloomy many see the future.
