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. Vax to School? | | As parents yearn for classes to be back in session, Americans are split on whether students should be required to have a COVID-19 vaccination before being back in the classroom. The latest data show little differences in the public's support for mandating vaccines for various student education levels. Perhaps the most interesting thing to note on this: Parents are less eager than U.S. adults in general to mandate vaccines. Read Article | | 2. Americans Half-Baked on Benefits of Marijuana | | U.S. adults are split on whether cannabis use is good or bad for society — yet slightly more believe its effect on users is positive. Those who have tried marijuana are much more likely to see positive effects on both society and individual users. Today, 16% of adults in America say they smoke marijuana, and many more now admit to having tried it. But perhaps most surprising is that nearly as many say they consume edibles containing the plant's key ingredients (14%) as say they smoke it. Read Article | | 3. Life Is Getting Harder for Muslims in India | | As the world's largest democracy recently commemorated its independence, our data from the nation highlight the economic challenges that Indians are experiencing. While majorities of all Indian adults tell us they are finding it difficult to get by on their present income, Muslim Indians are much more likely than Hindu Indians to say their current standard of living is getting worse. Read Article | | 4. Wealth Redistribution by Taxing the Rich | | About half of Americans (52%) say they support the government redistributing wealth through heavy taxes on the rich, tying the previous record high on this particular question. In 1939, at the tail end of the Great Depression, 54% of respondents said the government should not do so. But today's overall rate masks a chasm between Democrats (79%) and Republicans (24%) on the matter. Read Article | | 5. Community Detachment | | This week's sneak peek of Gallup's latest book, Blind Spot, highlights which country's residents are the most likely to say they would not recommend their local area as a place to live. Indonesia leads the list — but the list is a good mix of nations small and large, from democracies to autocracies. Learn More | | And that's The Week in Charts!
