1 in 6 Americans can't remember the last time someone hugged them.

@joinprolific.bsky.social surveyed 1,917 US adults: 24.6% were hugged today, 31.7% in the past few days. But 16.7% couldn't remember, it had been so long, the memory was gone. 🧵

We asked 1,917 Americans: "Are you OK?"

Only 38% said yes.

41% said things are difficult. 21% are actively struggling.

But the age breakdown is wild 🧵

Is #Trump right to walk back the tariffs? Our latest
Prolific polling data suggests a resounding yes! In the last month the number of US adults reporting an increase in the price of everyday goods has jumped by ~10%, even for #Republican voters 😬

Has the US public's view of foreign policy changed since #DonaldTrump became president?

Our Prolific tracking polls show a general perception of a less safe world since Trump took office. This perception is strongest in #Democrats, while most #Republicans see the world as safer!

How does the US public feel about the incoming #Trump administration? We asked a representative sample of 1,938 US adults on Prolific "Are you hopeful or fearful ahead of President-elect Trump coming back to office?"

🇺🇸 Overall 46% were fearful and 41% hopeful. But stark differences in subgroups 👇
