Panel cumulative response at 3%

Updated: 2026.05.14 24D ago 4 sources
Pew’s American Trends Panel Wave 190 reports a cumulative recruitment/participation rate of just 3% alongside a survey‑level response of 87% and a margin of error of ±1.9 percentage points. That low cumulative rate is a concrete, checkable datum about modern panel representativeness. — Low cumulative recruitment rates for national panels change how journalists, policymakers and researchers should weight headline poll claims about public attitudes.
