Public Opinion Survey
In March, we partnered with the leading polling firm Big Village to conduct the first national survey of public opinion on cooperatives in more than a decade. The results reveal strong consumer support for cooperatives, with a majority of Americans recognizing the value and direct impact that these people-centered businesses bring to their communities.
“These findings reinforce what we’ve long known—cooperatives are a trusted and essential part of the American economy.” – Doug O’Brien, president and CEO, NCBA CLUSA
