Overall, the report is based on over 10,000 responses nationwide from April 2025 to August 2025. (11/11) More results, including trends and additional information about AI adoption and usage are in the report: civiqs.com/reports/2025...

As we write: "Establishing trust in the helpfulness and safety of AI will require that people have successful interactions with AI technology, as companies work to address the concerns that people express about AI today." (10/)

The concerns that Americans express about the potential risks of AI suggest concrete steps to reduce AI skepticism and increase public confidence: for example, improving the reliability of AI output, stronger safeguards, and more robust oversight would all help. (9/)

100 1

The breadth of issues raised reveals that regardless of their level of AI use, people are very aware of its impacts. The report explores each set of concerns and includes verbatim quotes from the poll. As one respondent put it: "Terminator did not end well for the humans." (8/)

100 1

We wanted to go deeper on why people were worried about AI, so we asked respondents to answer in their own words: “In what ways do you think Artificial Intelligence is unsafe?” The responses clustered into 11 core ideas, including hallucination, misuse, and lack of regulation. (7/)

100 1

People who use AI in their personal lives even just a few times a month are also positive about the technology. But, people who do not use AI at all -- which are 51% of adults -- are strongly negative about AI, with 55% saying AI is a bad thing, and 22% saying AI is good. (6/)

100 1

An encouraging finding is that the most frequent AI users are overwhelmingly positive about the technology. Among people who use AI daily in their personal lives, 72% say that AI is a good technology, and only 12% say it is bad. However, this is only 6% of users. (5/)

100 1

The results also uncover an alignment issue: what AI is doing is not what many people say they want. Overall, more say that AI is a bad thing (44%) than a good thing (35%); and more believe AI is having a negative (49%) rather than positive (18%) impact on the world. (4/)

120 2

The widely-reported public trust problem in AI is real. Americans are more negative than positive about AI, in ways that go beyond any single company or use case. Only 33% of Americans say they generally trust AI to be helpful, and just 19% trust AI technology to be safe. (3/)

100 1

Usage of AI is increasing, measured both by first-time use and frequency of interaction. Adoption is being led by younger Americans and those with higher levels of formal education. Yet sentiment towards AI has worsened during 2025. (2/)

We have a new survey report out today @civiqs.bsky.social that takes a deep look at how Americans are using AI, whether they like what AI can do, and what their concerns are about the technology. People are responding to AI very seriously. (1/) The report is here: civiqs.com/reports/2025...

It took four months, but Gavin Newsom's favorable rating recovered from the hit it took after his Charlie Kirk interview. (all US)

If you're looking for a way out of the partisan bubble, today's Immediate Reaction newsletter with polling from yesterday, Aug 14, showed a very stark contrast (sign-up link bit.ly/4lP1yKP)

The early results have been fascinating: Over time, you can see which issues come and go and which have staying power. It gives you a view directly into the media bubbles of people who are very different from yourself. Here again is the link to get Immediate Reaction in your inbox! bit.ly/4lP1yKP

The daily polling is already part of what Civiqs does. What's new is that we've fully integrated AI into summarizing the responses into a clear and succinct readout. We pull out the top stories that people mention, and describe how Democrats, Republicans, and Independents each react to them.

With how quickly current events are developing—and how fragmented the media landscape has become—we survey 400-500 Americans nationwide every day to answer in their own words the question "What's your immediate reaction to something you've seen or heard in the news lately?"

Drew Linzer @drewlinzer.bsky.social · 10/04/2025

There's a new email newsletter from @civiqs.bsky.social that I'm excited to announce. It's called Immediate Reaction, and it answers the question: what news stories are actually breaking through to people, and how are they responding? Here is the sign up: bit.ly/4lP1yKP

Trump's announcement of tariffs on April 2 is subtly but clearly driving down his job approval rating. The trend is being led by Independents who have gone from -10 to -15 net approval in the last week. civiqs.com/results/appr...

This was two weeks ago. The Democrats' favorable rating has dropped another two points since then. civiqs.com/results/favo...

Another significant trend is among Hispanic/Latino voters, who have gone from net +9 favorable views of the Democratic Party in 2015 to net unfavorable by 20 points in 2025. (3/3)

For over a decade, Democrats have been steadily losing support from young voters, especially Independents age 18-34, under both Trump and Biden. (2/3)

The last time the Democratic Party's favorability rating was this low was exactly 8 years ago, after Trump won. But there's more to it -- there are longer-term trends driving down views of the Democratic Party. (1/3) civiqs.com/results/favo...

I am *thrilled* to share that @mangan.bsky.social and I will write a weekly polling column for @dailykos.com titled “Survey Says.” This is our first piece, which reviewed why the GOP suddenly thinks the economy is doing OK and who supports Trump’s price-raising tariffs, among other things.

GOP abruptly warms to economy. Plus, who gets credit for the ceasefire?

Survey Says is a new weekly column rounding up three of the most important polling trends or data points you need to know about. You’ll also find data-based updates on past Daily Kos reporting, ...

Republicans already think the economy is getting better... and Democrats think it's getting worse. Expect this pattern to accelerate after Inauguration Day. civiqs.com/results/econ...

Putting some numbers to how Democrats feel about Harris vs. Biden, from Civiqs' recent poll: - 76% think Harris has a better chance than Biden to beat Trump - 64% are glad Biden left the race; 11% wish he was still running - 83% think Harris will win; was 70% for Biden in June

Digging into the pres vote crosstabs: - Young voters (18-34) go from Biden 44-36 (+8) to Harris 57-37 (+20) - Independents go from Trump 48-32 (+16) to Trump 49-41 (+8) - Harris picks up 7pp among Black voters and 8pp among Hispanic voters, almost all from 3rd party/undecideds

We @civiqs.bsky.social started tracking Trump vs. Harris two weeks ago. Normally this info is paywalled, but this deserves sharing: - Through 7/21, Biden trailed Trump 46-44 nationally; Harris was ahead 48-46. Trump is stuck at a ceiling of 46. Harris gains from 3rd party/undecided voters.
