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. Belief in God Drops to a New Low | | There's been a lot of focus lately on our new low of 81% of Americans who say they believe in God. In 1944, when George Gallup first asked Americans this question, 96% professed faith in the Almighty. Despite this drop — swift and concerning for some, not fast enough for others — America still remains one of the most religious countries among all Western democracies. Read Article | | 2. One of Our Own, With Grim News | | Earlier this month, The Economist featured Gallup CEO Jon Clifton's take on the latest data on global unhappiness. Negative emotions worldwide — the aggregate of self-reported daily experiences of stress, sadness, anger, worry and physical pain — reached a record high last year. Read why and just how unhappy the world has become, and what the whole emotional picture looks like, in our 2022 Gallup Global Emotions report. Read Report | | 3. Juneteenth Going Mainstream | | As the U.S. observes Juneteenth for the second time since it became a federal holiday last year, awareness of the date and what it commemorates are rising across the nation. Today, six in 10 Americans say they know "a lot" or "some" about the Juneteenth holiday. As a bright spot for the future, a majority of Americans say Juneteenth should be part of public school history curricula. Read Article | | 4. The Most Miserable Workplace Award Goes to … Europe | | As we continue to unpack the many findings in our State of the Global Workplace 2022 Report, one of the more unexpected (to me) findings is this: The region of the world with the lowest rate of engaged workers is Europe. While only slightly worse than the Middle East/North Africa region, Europe is far behind the United States/Canada and South Asia in how engaged employees are with their work and workplace. Read Article | | 5. Nigerians' Confidence in National Government Hits 12-Year Low | | Africa's most populous nation is experiencing an institutional trust and confidence drought. With only a quarter of Nigerians expressing confidence in their national government, and even fewer in the nation's electoral process, recent polling documents a broad collapse in trust in institutions. Perhaps most concerning, however, is Nigerians' collapsed confidence in their judicial system and courts — the likely arbiter in the event of a contested election next year.
