| Welcome to The Week in Charts, where we break down Gallup's latest insights on our constantly evolving world. Here are the five insights you shouldn't miss this week: | | 1. How Gloomy Are Americans on the Economy? | | | Gallup's Economic Confidence Index continued to dip further into the red as Americans' ratings of current economic conditions worsened in May. In a sign that the cost of living is further taking its toll, Americans' mentions of inflation as the most important problem facing the country tied with those mentioning poor government — something we hadn't seen in decades. Overall satisfaction with how things are going in the U.S. also dropped to a meager 16%.

As the Hill Debates, Where Is the Public on Guns? | | | As mass shootings once again capture leaders' attention in Washington, we take stock of where the American public stands on gun laws and gun ownership. The overwhelming majority of Americans support requiring background checks for all gun sales, and over half of Americans are dissatisfied with the nation's laws or policies on guns. Yet, an overall handgun ban has been unpopular among the public.

Where Are We on Police Reform? | | | As we pass two years since the social uprising seen across U.S. cities in the wake of George Floyd's killing, half of Americans tell Gallup that major changes are (still) needed to make policing better across the country. That rate jumps to nearly three in four adults among Black Americans. Measures to hold police officers legally responsible for abuse of power and ending stop-and-frisk policies remain popular. Alternatively, abolishing police departments is supported by only a small minority of all respondents, irrespective of race.

How Big Is the Problem at the U.S. Border? | | | With the Trump administration's departure, there has been less public focus on just how dysfunctional U.S. policies have been at the southern border. In this piece, our chairman, and my mentor, looks at the data underneath the crisis, through the voices of people across Latin America who desire to move north.

Several countries were not invited, and others — including Mexico — are vowing not to participate because Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela were excluded. Before the summit, approval of the leadership of the host country — the U.S. — was up across the region. A median of 52% approved of U.S leadership in 2021, an 18-percentage-point increase from 2020.
