How Do Americans Assess Progress Now?

Americans are surprisingly optimistic about their health as we collectively emerge from the devastating COVID-19 pandemic, reported John Gerzema, CEO of The Harris Poll, at the outset of the three-day Health+Wealth of America conference Tuesday. “There seems to be a sense of perhaps relief or even confidence as people think about their health moving forward.” The conference is hosted by Techonomy, Worth Magazine, and CDX. Harris and Techonomy have jointly embarked on an ongoing American Progress Project, based on in-depth polling to track how Americans feel about themselves and their country as we emerge from the pandemic into a more technologized yet highly uncertain new set of realities.
