Poll Finds Likely Drop in Charity Holiday Gifts

A new survey commissioned by the global aid charity World Vision suggests American charities should brace for a disappointing holiday giving seasons, says the Associated Press.

According to the poll of 1,001 adults conducted by Harris Interactive, 38 percent of Americans said they are likely to give a charitable gift as a holiday present this year, down 11 percentage points from 2008.

However, 74 percent of respondents said they planned to increase their giving once the economy rebounds.
