Americans more likely to report feelings of isolation, loneliness

A new NORC poll finds that reports of isolation, loneliness and feeling left out are up compared with the 2018 General Social Survey. Half report often or sometimes feeling isolated.

The nationwide poll was conducted from May 21 to 29, 2020 using AmeriSpeak — the probability-based panel of NORC at the University of Chicago. A total of 2,279 adults completed the survey either online or using landlines or cell phones. The margin of sampling error is +/- 2.9 percentage points.
