General Social Survey 2024

The U.S. General Social Survey for 2024 has been released.

Wokeness

Questions about pride in America and its history has been asked again in 2024 for the first time since 2014. We can see a large increase in negative attitudes about America, especially among young people.

This is an increase especially from 2014 to 2024. But if we look at other questions, we can see that wokeness exploded from 2015 to 2021, and has abated since.

This development is especially driven by younger people. The explosion was stronger, and the abatement also stronger.

Or alternatively, it could plausibly be driven by the news media.

Childlessness

The increase in childlessness over time is only among liberals.

Liberals and Mental Health

Young liberals have poor mental health.

The Supreme Court

The trust in the Supreme Court has plummetted among liberals lately, after being quite stable for more than 40 years.

Race and Trust

Growing up in majority Black environments means lower trust, both for Blacks and Whites.

Race and Free Speech

Whites are more supportive of free speech than other ethnic groups.

This is also true if we only look at people with long time ancestry from the U.S.
