Tracking Public Opinion of Current U.S.-China Relations

Methodology

The U.S.-China Relations Barometer relies on data collected through Morning Consult’s proprietary survey research capabilities. Interviews are conducted online, and data are weighted to approximate representative samples of U.S. and Chinese adults. The U.S. data is weighted based on age, gender, educational attainment, race and region. The China data is weighted based on age, gender, educational attainment and region.

The United States and China country favorability data series are seven-day moving averages of daily data derived from surveys conducted among roughly 11,450 to 27,000 U.S. adults and 670 to 3,400 Chinese adults, with data reported on the first and 15th of each month. The underlying data series for the United States and China have unweighted margins of error of up to 1 percentage point and up to 4 percentage points, respectively. Morning Consult updated its weights for U.S. adults on April 1, 2022, and Jan. 1, 2023, and updated its weights for Chinese adults on Jan. 1, 2023.

All other data series reported in the barometer derive from monthly surveys conducted Feb. 11, 2022-Oct. 6, 2023, in the United States and Feb. 11, 2022-Oct. 7, 2023, in China, among representative samples of approximately 1,000 adults in each country, with unweighted margins of error of +/-3 percentage points.
