The numbers: On 43 out of 64 sensitive issues, including abortion rights, school choice, immigration, and voter ID, 90% of demographic groups privately share the same opinion, according to the latest Social Pressure Index survey. (Populace)

  • 58% of Americans feel they can’t share honest opinions on sensitive topics.

  • 61% admit to self-censorship.

Context: While the Social Pressure Index suggests there’s plenty of common ground to be found between political groups, America is currently gripped by high levels of political polarization and partisan hostility.

Surprisingly, real-life data shows it’s actually quite common. Interesting, isn’t it?
