This market resolves YES if the unweighted average of the "Pro-Woke" responses to the following 5 recurring polling questions in 2026 is at least 2.0 percentage points higher than the 2025 Composite Baseline (52.6%).
If the 2026 average is < 54.6%, the market resolves NO.

If a poll question is not asked by the end of 2026 for whatever reason, the poll will be excluded from this market's resolution. If 3/5 of the questions used to resolve the market are unavailable in this fashion, the entire market will N/A.
Once the PRRI poll is available, this market will resolve. This usually happens in September or October; I have set the close date accordingly.
