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.
The "Woke Vibe" Index Criteria
The index is composed of 5 specific metrics from Gallup and PRRI. Each metric measures a different facet of "woke" culture (Gender, Race, Corporate/Economic Values).
1. The Trans Acceptance Rebound

2025 Baseline: 40% (Source: Gallup, June 12, 2025)
Woke Direction: Higher is "Woke".
2. The "Systemic Racism" Acknowledgement
Poll: PRRI American Values Survey or major topical report (Sept/Oct or April release)
Question: Agreement that "Generations of slavery and discrimination against Black people and Native Americans have given white people unfair economic advantages."

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 poll came out in the second half of October for the last two years; I have set the close date accordingly.

@SaviorofPlant Idk why the black woman is grabbing the rainbow haired white woman's sign. Seems not woke enough to me
@SaviorofPlant But why does the sign say "progress"? Wokeness has been one of the main obstacles of it.
@MaxA depends on what we're progressing towards! More preventable child deaths from easily curable diseases?
@TiredCliche so you would be in favor of accepting medical school students, the professors who will teach them, and then assigning residencies to the graduates based on their abilities only, right?
@MaxA I have no strong opinions about such things. The anti-woke clawed back our funding for Vitamin A supplements for children who don't get enough Vitamin A.
You don't need a medical degree to give a child a Vitamin A supplement. When I said "easily curable", I meant "easily curable".
@MaxA Thinking further, I guess not- I'd also want to consider their philosophies. I don't want to accept medical students who are in favor of more children dying of easily curable diseases.
@TiredCliche that is a very specific gripe that you have. It also has nothing to do with anti-wokeness.
