5、For this analysis,we surveyed 5,086 adults from Jan.27 to Feb.2,2025.Everyone who took part in this survey is a member of the Centers American Trends Panel(ATP),a group of people recruited through national,random sampling of residential addresses who have agreed to take surveys regularly.This kind o

6、f recruitment gives nearly all U.S.adults a chance of selection.Surveys were conducted either online or by telephone with a live interviewer.The survey is weighted to be representative of the U.S.adult population by gender,race,ethnicity,partisan affiliation,education and other factors.Read more abo

7、ut the ATPs methodology.Here are the questions used for this report,the topline and the survey methodology.3 PEW RESEARCH CENTER www.pewresearch.org At the start of President Donald Trumps second term,Americans see a host of economic issues from inflation to the affordability of health care and the

8、federal budget deficit as top problems facing the country.With most adults continuing to say the nations economy is in only fair(45%)or poor(31%)shape,large shares of the public including majorities of Republicans and Democrats see multiple economic considerations as very big national problems.Today

9、,63%say inflation is a very big problem for the country.This is comparable to last May and down from a high of 70%in 2022.At the same time,the share of adults who say the affordability of health care is a very big national problem has risen 10 percentage points since last year:Today,67%say this,up f

32、EARCH CENTER www.pewresearch.org Large gaps between Democrats,Republicans on immigration,gun violence,climate,racism Over the past decade,a number of issues have been marked by deep partisan divides,with some of the issues that rank among the top concerns for one party ranking among the lowest for t

33、he other.Illegal immigration For instance,73%of Republicans say illegal immigration is a very big problem in the nation,while just 23%of Democrats say the same.The partisan gap on this question has ranged between 40 and 50 points for most of the last decade.Gun violence While 69%of Democrats see gun

34、 violence as a very big problem,just 26%of Republicans say the same.This 43-point gap is typical of the past decade.Climate change There is a 54-point gap in the share of Democrats(67%)and Republicans(13%)who rate climate change as a very big problem facing the nation,also similar to previous years.

35、Democrats are also more likely than Republicans to see“the impact of natural disasters”as a very big problem,though the partisan gap on these views is more modest(54%of Democrats vs.33%of Republicans).Racism Democrats have also consistently been much more likely than Republicans to say racism is a v

50、view Data in this report comes from Wave 161 of the American Trends Panel(ATP),Pew Research Centers nationally representative panel of randomly selected U.S.adults.The survey was conducted from Jan.27 to Feb.2,2025.A total of 5,086 panelists responded out of 5,699 who were sampled,for a survey-level

51、 response rate of 89%.The cumulative response rate accounting for nonresponse to the recruitment surveys and attrition is 3%.The break-off rate among panelists who logged on to the survey and completed at least one item is 1%.The margin of sampling error for the full sample of 5,086 respondents is p

52、lus or minus 1.6 percentage points.The survey includes an oversample of Hispanic men,non-Hispanic Black men and Asian adults in order to provide more precise estimates of the opinions and experiences of these smaller demographic subgroups.These oversampled groups are weighted back to reflect their c

53、orrect proportions in the population.SSRS conducted the survey for Pew Research Center via online(n=4,893)and live telephone(n=193)interviewing.Interviews were conducted in both English and Spanish.To learn more about the ATP,read“About the American Trends Panel.”Panel recruitment Since 2018,the ATP

54、 has used address-based sampling(ABS)for recruitment.A study cover letter and a pre-incentive are mailed to a stratified,random sample of households selected from the U.S.Postal Services Computerized Delivery Sequence File.This Postal Service file has been estimated to cover 90%to 98%of the populati

55、on.1 Within each sampled household,the adult with the next birthday is selected to participate.Other details of the ABS recruitment protocol have changed over time but are available upon request.2 Prior to 2018,the ATP was recruited using landline and cellphone random-digit-dial surveys administered

56、 in English and Spanish.1 AAPOR Task Force on Address-based Sampling.2016.“AAPOR Report:Address-based Sampling.”2 Email pewsurveyspewresearch.org.14 PEW RESEARCH CENTER www.pewresearch.org A national sample of U.S.adults has been recruited to the ATP approximately once per year since 2014.In some ye

57、ars,the recruitment has included additional efforts(known as an“oversample”)to improve the accuracy of data for underrepresented groups.For example,Hispanic adults,Black adults and Asian adults were oversampled in 2019,2022 and 2023,respectively.Sample design The overall target population for this s

58、urvey was noninstitutionalized persons ages 18 and older living in the United States.It featured a stratified random sample from the ATP in which Hispanic men,non-Hispanic Black men and non-Hispanic Asian adults were selected with certainty.The remaining panelists were sampled at rates designed to e

59、nsure that the share of respondents in each stratum is proportional to its share of the U.S.adult population to the greatest extent possible.Respondent weights are adjusted to account for differential probabilities of selection as described in the Weighting section below.Questionnaire development an

60、d testing The questionnaire was developed by Pew Research Center in consultation with SSRS.The web program used for online respondents was rigorously tested on both PC and mobile devices by the SSRS project team and Pew Research Center researchers.The SSRS project team also populated test data that

61、was analyzed in SPSS to ensure the logic and randomizations were working as intended before launching the survey.Incentives All respondents were offered a post-paid incentive for their participation.Respondents could choose to receive the post-paid incentive in the form of a check or gift code to A,

62、T or W.Incentive amounts ranged from$5 to$20 depending on whether the respondent belongs to a part of the population that is harder or easier to reach.Differential incentive amounts were designed to increase panel survey participation among groups that traditionally have low survey response propensi

63、ties.Data collection protocol The data collection field period for this survey was Jan.27 to Feb.2,2025.Surveys were conducted via self-administered web survey or by live telephone interviewing.15 PEW RESEARCH CENTER www.pewresearch.org For panelists who take surveys online:3 Postcard notifications

64、were mailed to a subset on Jan.27.4 Survey invitations were sent out in two separate launches:soft launch and full launch.Sixty panelists were included in the soft launch,which began with an initial invitation sent on Jan.27.All remaining English-and Spanish-speaking sampled online panelists were in

65、cluded in the full launch and were sent an invitation on Jan.28.Invitation and reminder dates for web respondents,ATP Wave 161 Soft launch Full launch Initial invitation Jan.27,2025 Jan.28,2025 First reminder Jan.30,2025 Jan.30,2025 Final reminder Feb.01,2025 Feb.01,2025 PEW RESEARCH CENTER Panelist

66、s participating online were sent an email invitation and up to two email reminders if they did not respond to the survey.ATP panelists who consented to SMS messages were sent an SMS invitation with a link to the survey and up to two SMS reminders.For panelists who take surveys over the phone with a

67、live interviewer:Prenotification postcards were mailed on Jan.24.Soft launch took place on Jan.27 and involved dialing until a total of four interviews had been completed.All remaining English-and Spanish-speaking sampled phone panelists numbers were dialed throughout the remaining field period.Pane

68、lists who take surveys via phone can receive up to six calls from trained SSRS interviewers.Data quality checks To ensure high-quality data,Center researchers performed data quality checks to identify any respondents showing patterns of satisficing.This includes checking for whether respondents left

69、 questions blank at very high rates or always selected the first or last answer presented.As a result of this checking,one ATP respondent was removed from the survey dataset prior to weighting and analysis.3 The ATP does not use routers or chains in any part of its online data collection protocol,no

70、r are they used to direct respondents to additional surveys.4 Postcard notifications for web panelists are sent to 1)panelists who were recruited within the last two years and 2)panelists recruited prior to the last two years who opt to continue receiving postcard notifications.16 PEW RESEARCH CENTE

71、R www.pewresearch.org Weighting The ATP data is weighted in a process that accounts for multiple stages of sampling and nonresponse that occur at different points in the panel survey process.First,each panelist begins with a base weight that reflects their probability of recruitment into the panel.T

72、hese weights are then calibrated to align with the population benchmarks in the accompanying table to correct for nonresponse to recruitment surveys and panel attrition.5 If only a subsample of panelists was invited to participate in the wave,this weight is adjusted to account for any differential p

73、robabilities of selection.Among the panelists who completed the survey,this weight is then calibrated again to align with the population benchmarks identified in the accompanying table and trimmed at the 1st and 99th percentiles to reduce the loss in precision stemming from variance in the weights.S

74、ampling errors and tests of statistical significance take into account the effect of weighting.5 Beginning with the current wave of the ATP,we have added two new weighting targets.These are intended to reduce differences between the ATP and trusted benchmark surveys on important population character

75、istics.One is party affiliation by age.We noted a sizeable difference between the 2024 NPORS and ATP estimates of party affiliation among adults ages 18-29.Similarly,our sample of young adults in the ATP fell short of the ACS target in the share who were non-Hispanic White.We have added targets for

76、both party by age and race by age to the American Trends Panel going forward.American Trends Panel weighting dimensions Variable Benchmark source Age(detailed)Age x Gender Education x Gender Education x Age Race/Ethnicity x Education Race/Ethnicity x Gender Race/Ethnicity x Age Born inside vs.outsid
