For this analysis, we surveyed 5,098 adults from Oct. 10 to 16, 2022. Everyone who took part in this survey is a member of the Center\u2019s American Trends Panel (ATP), an online survey panel that is recruited through national, random sampling of residential addresses. This way nearly all U.S. adults have a chance of selection. The survey is weighted to be representative of the U.S. adult population by gender, race, ethnicity, partisan affiliation, education and other categories. <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/our-methods\/u-s-surveys\/the-american-trends-panel\/\">Read more about the ATP\u2019s methodology<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Institutions-topline.pdf\">the questions used<\/a> for this report, along with responses, and <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Institutions-Methods.pdf\">its methodology<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Democrats\u2019 views of banks and big corporations have only modestly changed since 2019 (41% vs. 37%), Republicans\u2019 assessments have become much more negative.

In 2019, identical shares of Democrats and Republicans (58% each) said technology companies had a positive effect on the country. While Democrats\u2019 views are unchanged, the share of Republicans with a positive view had fallen 20 percentage points by 2021 and has changed little since then (currently 40%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-420-wide\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-11044\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/short-reads\/2022\/11\/17\/anti-corporate-sentiment-in-u-s-is-now-widespread-in-both-parties\/ft_2022-11-17_viewsofinstitutions_02-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"eee9db\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #eee9db;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" height=\"459\" width=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/11\/ft_2022.11.17_viewsofinstitutions_02.png?w=420\" alt=\"A bar chart showing that small businesses are broadly popular with the public, in contrast with large corporations and banks\" class=\"wp-image-11044 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/11\/ft_2022.11.17_viewsofinstitutions_02.png 840w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/11\/ft_2022.11.17_viewsofinstitutions_02.png?resize=275,300 275w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/11\/ft_2022.11.17_viewsofinstitutions_02.png?resize=768,839 768w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/11\/ft_2022.11.17_viewsofinstitutions_02.png?resize=371,405 371w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/11\/ft_2022.11.17_viewsofinstitutions_02.png?resize=200,219 200w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/11\/ft_2022.11.17_viewsofinstitutions_02.png?resize=260,284 260w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/11\/ft_2022.11.17_viewsofinstitutions_02.png?resize=310,339 310w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/11\/ft_2022.11.17_viewsofinstitutions_02.png?resize=420,459 420w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/11\/ft_2022.11.17_viewsofinstitutions_02.png?resize=640,699 640w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/11\/ft_2022.11.17_viewsofinstitutions_02.png?resize=740,809 740w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/11\/ft_2022.11.17_viewsofinstitutions_02.png?resize=160,175 160w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2022\/11\/ft_2022.11.17_viewsofinstitutions_02.png?resize=320,350 320w\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, Americans view small businesses much more positively than the eight other institutions included in the survey.
