July 9–13, 2026

Results of an Americans on AI survey of 1,055 adults, fielded July 9–13, 2026, by NORC at the University of Chicago on the AmeriSpeak probability-based panel: 94% online and 6% by phone.

All figures are weighted to Census benchmarks and the 2024 presidential vote. The margin of error is ±4.2 points for all adults and wider for groups. Groups of fewer than 100 respondents are excluded, except those marked †. The same results are in the survey's report (PDF).

We are faced with many problems in this country, and resources are often limited. Given these constraints, how much of a priority should the government place on each of the following?
