Who’s having a ‘good’ or ‘bad’ day around the world
How would you describe your day today? Has it been a typical day, a particularly good day, or a particularly bad day?
As part of the Pew Research Center’s annual Global Attitudes survey, this question is usually the first we pose to respondents in all the countries we survey. One reason we ask such a milquetoast question first is to help the respondents become more comfortable with the interviewer. The vast majority of the polls we conduct are done with face-to-face interviews in the respondent’s home, and asking about their day is one way to kick off the conversation.
