Zogby/Scoop Daily Poll: 32% Thought There Would Be More Tech Advances By 2010


UTICA, New York - As we approach a new decade, nearly a third (32%) of Americans say they believed there would be greater technological advances by 2010, a new Zogby/ScoopDaily poll shows.

While some may be disappointed that we won't be entering 2010 living like the Jetsons, 21% believe we are more technologically advanced than they thought we would be by the start of this new decade. Another 37% say the current level of technological advancement is just about where they thought it would be by 2010.

First GlobalsTM, those age 18-30, are much less likely (13%) than older generations to say the technological advancements up until now have exceeded their expectations. Those age 70 and older (34%) are the group most likely to say we are more advanced than they thought we would be by 2010. The age group most likely to be disappointed with the current level of technological advancement are 35- to 54-year-olds (36%). Men (36%) are more likely than women (28%) to say they thought there would have been greater tech advances by 2010.

This interactive survey of 3,072 adults nationwide was conducted Dec. 8-11, 2009 and commissioned by ScoopDaily.  A sampling of Zogby International's online panel, which is representative of adult Americans, was invited to participate. Slight weights were added to region, party, age, race, religion, gender, education to more accurately reflect the population.  The margin of error is +/- 1.8 percentage points. Margins of error are higher in sub-groups.
