The latest trends in society and culture from The Harris Poll
Good morning from New York.
In SNL's cold open for its 50th season, Maya Rudolph deemed her campaign like the Sabrina Carpenter song Espresso: "The lyrics are vague, but the vibe slaps." In America This Week, conducted September 27th to 29th, 2,445 Americans (87%) said that in dealing with today's times, they intentionally seek out good vibes in their lives. Speaking of which, our Axios-Harris Poll Monthly Vibes launched in January.?
This week, we have four new stories:
Have a great rest of the week. John
1. Americans Blame Politicians For Misinformation: Axios Vibes By The Harris Poll
In our new Axios Vibes/Harris Poll survey, when asked to identify up to three top concerns about misinformation, more than half (51%) said politicians are spreading misinformation to control their supporters ahead of social media regulation and AI deception.?
Takeaway: We told Axios, "Like the old horror movie, the call is coming from inside the house." In past elections, there was always a fear of misinformation and election interference coming from abroad. But here, we see the most likely source of concern is America's own politicians spreading misinformation. It used to be that we were worried about China or Russia, fake ads or Facebook. Now, no, it's coming from the campaigns.
2. Americans Blind Test The Candidates' Economic Policies The Guardian-Harris Poll
Since so much of politics is divided today, we wondered how Americans might rate policies without the Red or Blue label attached. According to our latest poll with The Guardian, Harris' economic policies are seemingly more popular than Trump's:

Takeaway: Despite some skepticism that VP Harris has yet to define her position, our data shows she's energized her base—particularly millennials, who will be the largest voting bloc this election—by effectively messaging and connecting with them on the issues they are facing as they move more into adulthood: childcare, housing, and jobs.
3. Swiping Right On Politics: Axios-Harris Poll
We found that ideological differences among young people are coming up on first dates and often complicating them in our latest research, featured in Axios.?
Takeaway: "What [women are] doing instead is asking proximity questions like, 'how do you feel about Covid? What's your point of view on Travis Kelce?' And depending on how you respond to those, they can indicate where your real beliefs are on that spectrum," said Rodney. Shenoted that half of women would rather be single than settle for someone with opposing political beliefs. "The single lady movement is real, and people are here for it."
4. More Sleepless Nights Over Supply Chains: Prologis-Harris Poll
It was supposed to be fixed after COVID. But in our inaugural research with Prologis , we find a looming poly-crisis above business leaders from the U.S., U.K., and Germany, where economic instability, fluctuating customer demands, and pressing climate challenges converge.?
Takeaway: "Supply chain capabilities are crucial for business success, and the ability to anticipate and swiftly adapt to rapid changes is key to thriving," said Hamid R. Moghadam, co-founder and CEO, Prologis. "In today's complex and interconnected world, disruptions create ripple effects that can reshape industries and have lasting consequences on global operations."

1 个月Regarding "Swiping Right On Politics," it's no surprise that half of women would rather stay single than compromise on core values. We’re looking for connections that align with who we are, but also spaces where we can feel seen and heard without fear of being dismissed or misunderstood. It’s empowering to see more of us embracing that independence—building communities that feel low pressure and grounded in shared values. This shift feels less about finding a partner and more about finding spaces where we can authentically be ourselves.
