The Axios Harris 100 poll surveyed 16,310 Americans who were “nationally representative” from March 13 to 28, 2023. The process began by “examining the public’s perception of whether companies are doing well or failing in society.”

Responses are collected to determine which companies are most visible. The top 100 companies are judged on nine dimensions, including character, trajectory and credibility.
