Ryerson Project Item 134

I dislike this survey, because it is too long.

American adults' average (mean) response was 1.21 on a scale of 0 (Disagree) to 10 (Agree). 414 responses have been collected (so far) from 2026-06-30 to 2026-10-27.

Comparison to Other Items

Based on all-time mean agreement, this item ranks 140 out of 142 qualifying items and is at the 1.4 percentile.

Qualifying items have 100 or more total observations. Higher means indicate more agreement and therefore a higher rank.

Observed Trend

Observations suggest unchanging agreement over the observed period, from 2026-06-30 to 2026-10-27. The estimated change over that period is -0.280 points on a 0 to 10 scale. Regression results place a 95% confidence interval around that observed-period change of [-0.854, 0.294].
Regression table

The daily slope annualized over 365.25 days is -0.858 points per year, with a 95% confidence interval of [-2.620, 0.903]. This short-window annualized number is provided for reference, but the observed-period change above is the primary trend estimate.
