Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are both widely recognized entities in the collective mind of the general public, but more than half of those surveyed hold a “nearly toxic” image of the two GSEs, according to a new poll released this week. Conducted by ONMessage Inc. on behalf of the American Action Forum, the poll noted that 72 percent of respondents knew of or “widely recognized” Fannie and Freddie. The survey consisted of 1,200 likely voters from 18 congressional districts.
