The 2024 economic-sentiment archive: three Pew surveys

Caldwell has added three original Pew economic-conditions surveys from 2024, preserving their fieldwork dates, published percentages and methodology links.

Reported findings

  • January 16–21:28% excellent or good;5,140 adults surveyed.
  • May 13–19:23% excellent or good;8,638 adults surveyed.
  • August 26–September 2:25% excellent or good;9,720 adults surveyed.

Caldwell commentary

The sequence should be read alongside a change in how the surveys were conducted: the January and May waves were online, while the later wave included live telephone interviews. The September release’s combined positive percentage also differs from the sum of its rounded excellent and good categories. Caldwell preserves the published combined figure in the comparison chart and retains the category values in the source record.

This is a retrospective archive summary written October 31, 2026. It is not an article published during the 2024 campaign. The archive contains selected waves and does not imply continuous monthly coverage.
