November 5, 2009 — Survey finds agents rank above newspapers, Congress and the president as reliable source of information about insurance industry issues.
Despite the fact that the media is filled with members of Congress, President Barack Obama and pundits talking about insurance every day, consumers are more likely to trust what they hear from their local insurance agent. More than 64% of respondents in a recent study said they trusted their insurance agent for credible information about insurance industry issues – the highest ranking in the survey.
Agents topped the field of sources that consumers trust most for insurance information, followed by insurance companies (61%), local newspapers (52%) and President Barack Obama (51%). Members of Congress and U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner ranked at the bottom of the list at 39% and 37% respectively.
