DALLAS, Nov. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Nearly half (46%) of polled Republicans feel their credit scores will go down under President-Elect Joe Biden, while almost one-third (32%) of polled Democrats think their scores will go up, according to a survey conducted by YouGov plc on behalf of ScoreSense®.
“The YouGov survey confirmed that Americans tend to cite different reasons for their credit score improvements based on political affiliation. But the truth is, credit is apolitical,” said Carlos Medina, Senior Vice President of Operations and Business Development for One Technologies, LLC. “When consumers have the tools and information they need to obtain a full understanding of their credit, they are far better equipped maintain a healthy credit profile regardless of who is in the White House.”
The survey, conducted shortly before Election Day, also found:
- Only 7% of Republicans believe their credit scores will increase under a Biden-Harris administration.
- Independents are more likely to attribute higher credit scores to paying off more debt (71%), while Republicans (25%) are more likely to attribute their score increases to President Donald Trump.
- Democrats are more likely to attribute their credit score increases to “less expenses due to staying home” (41%) and stimulus payments (20%).
“Our ScoreSense product empowers consumers with actionable credit insights and unprecedented one-on-one help from a credit specialist,” said Mr. Medina. “Our sole focus is to help our customers understand what steps they can take to protect their credit and make better-informed decisions throughout their credit journey—and, ultimately, strengthen their overall financial wellbeing.”
