Evaluating Public Opinion Data Practice Test

Favorability increased overall, indicating growing approval as time passed from 2022 to 2024.

The trend proves a specific Court decision caused the decline, since any change in favorability must be driven by one event.

Because favorability is 35% in 2024, exactly 65% are unfavorable, proving opinions are strictly binary with no neutral responses.

The data show 2024 is an outlier and should be ignored, because public opinion cannot change in the same direction for three years.

Favorability shows a steady decline across the three years, suggesting a downward trend in public evaluations over this period.
