| Welcome to the Gallup Brief, and HAPPY NEW YEAR! This week, we sprint through our most important insights of the year on U.S. public opinion: | | 1.

Read Article | | | | 3. After a Solid Start, Biden's Job Rating Fizzled | | | After starting the year with majority-level job approval ratings, Joe Biden's performance assessments fizzled to subpar when compared with most other presidents in their first year, except his predecessor.

America's mental health has yet to recover from the pandemic crash.
