Thanks for doing this. I was interested in how these results compare to other movements, so I tried to get a historical dataset. It seems like EA is doing pretty well.
Data here. This was a quick project, not a thorough search.
I’m not sure how much this would drive up your costs, but if you ever are able to, I would be interested to hear favorability statistics amongst your sample for some of the entities you ask about awareness. E.g. I would be interested to hear how EA’s favorability compares to the favorability of the Gates Foundation or Google.
I think we should be able to do this[1] and I agree it seems interesting. It looks like Google has quite high favourability and Bill Gates personally (I did not see recent numbers for the Gates Foundation), reasonably high, but lower.
Though there is some complication around whether we’re looking at the sentiment of (i) people who’ve been assessed as truly being aware (most comparable to our attitudes among those who have already heard question, but would need an additional test for those respondents), (ii) people who’ve not claimed awareness (most comparable to our attitudes among those who have not heard question but less relevant).
