| Welcome to The Week in Charts, where we break down Gallup's most critical insights on our changing world. | | 1. Americans' Life Ratings Ride the Pandemic Roller Coaster | | | Almost two years into the pandemic, Americans' life evaluations took another dip on their tumultuous recent path of record lows and highs. As Americans enjoyed widespread vaccine availability and economic reopening last summer, those rating their lives well enough to be considered "thriving" hit a historic peak of 59.2%. But as omicron and inflation crimped everyday life toward the end of the year, that "thriving" rate dropped to 55.1%, while daily stress and worry ticked up.

Views of Vladimir, From His Closest Neighbors | | | As the situation in Ukraine unfolds, we find that attitudes about Russian leadership throughout Eastern Europe soured substantially after the invasion of Crimea in 2014 and have remained low since then. No matter how the situation evolves, those living in Russia's front yard are unsettled.

Rise of the Independents! | | | While many in the media made much of the recent shift from a nine-point Democratic advantage in party identification to a five-point GOP edge, the real story in today's America is that more are choosing to buck both parties and identify as independents (42%). With all the partisan rancor in our political narrative space, it's easy to forget that independents are still the largest political group in the U.S.

Amid the crises at the beginning of the pandemic, we saw this rate rise to a new high, as workers found more meaning and purpose in their job. Today, nearly two years into a pandemic that has revolutionized remote work, worn down front-line employees and spawned the "Great Resignation," employee engagement is now cooling across the world's largest economy.

Rare Shift in Views on Abortion Laws | | | With abortion laws back on the Supreme Court's docket, we found a rare shift in Americans' typically very polarized and stagnant views on abortion. This year, satisfaction with abortion laws in the U.S. is at a two-decade low. But, more importantly, this brought in a new high of 30% of Americans dissatisfied and wanting to see less strict abortion laws in the country. I chatted with our own Lydia Saad about Gallup's trends on abortion and where views stand today.
