⚠️Nearly 80% of federal data users are very concerned that federal statistical data collections will be stopped.
📊More than 70% worry about public trust in federal data — and about their ability to access federal data products at all.
📢The new SSRS EMERGE report captures not just what has already happened to the federal statistical system, but what the public data user community fears is still to come — and what it will take to chart a path forward.

If these results hold for the Maine Gov Dem primary this could be one of the first instances where a candidate who comes in 3rd in first choice votes ends up winning once RCV is applied - although Kathryn Garcia came w/in 7200 votes of pulling this off in 2021 NYC mayoral race.

📈Sports Poll has been tracking the growth of sports betting since the Supreme Court allowed states to legalize it in 2018.
➡️In early 2026, we also began tracking usage of prediction markets overall and specific prediction market platforms. Since they aren’t subject to the same regulation as sportsbooks, prediction markets provide wider coverage in two important ways. Learn more in the latest edition of Sports Poll Highlights.

⚠️Behind every delayed dataset and canceled program is a workforce crisis.
Many federal statistical agencies have lost 30–40% of their staff over the past 15 months. The people who knew the data, answered technical questions, and kept systems running — many of them are gone.
💬From a survey respondent: "The expertise that has left these agencies will be hard if not impossible to replace. Some institutional knowledge has been forever lost."
The new SSRS EMERGE report makes clear: this isn't just a data problem. It's a human capital problem.
