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. Biden in Last Place | | President Joe Biden's average job approval rating for his just-ended sixth quarter in office puts him in last place compared with all other elected presidents at this stage of their White House career. Biden's latest monthly approval rating, 38% in July, also dropped below the psychologically significant 40% barrier for the first time. His approval ratings among Democrats (78%) and independents (31%) are both at low points, while 5% of Republicans approve of the job he's doing. The intensity of Americans' attitudes only adds to Biden's challenges, as many more strongly disapprove than strongly approve of his performance. Read Article | | 2. Civil Unrest and How We Feel | | Civil unrest increased by over 200% from 2011 to 2019, according to the Global Peace Index. We graphed that trajectory against our own Negative Experience Index (feeling a lot of stress, worry, sadness, anger and physical pain), and the results make a lot of sense. As societies across the globe experienced more social turbulence, people's collective emotional experiences, at least the negative ones, weren't far behind. | | 3. Mixed Feelings on the U.S. High Court | | Our latest job approval rating for SCOTUS saw an enormous climb among Republicans and the exact opposite among Democrats. The court's 13% approval rating from Democrats is its lowest ever — from either party. But don't be fooled; this partisan chasm is not new. In 2015, we saw nearly the inverse of the numbers the court earns today, but with Democrats' rating on top. Read Article | | 4. What's America's Most Important Problem? | | Every month, we ask Americans about the most important problem facing their country. Our latest poll highlights a trifecta of concerns all swarming around the economy and poor government. But it's also notable that, in the wake of the Dobbs decision, abortion broke out of the low single digits and moved into fourth place on the list, at 8%. With consumer prices and talk of recession both sky high, it's no surprise that about a third of Americans reference the economy in some fashion. But this masks an important divide, as Democrats cite poor government and abortion as their top concerns while Republicans mention inflation first and foremost. Read Article | | 5. Good, Bad or No Job at All — What's the Emotional Difference? | | What's worse ... having a bad job or no job at all? As we count down to the release of Gallup's latest book, this week's sneak peek from Blind Spot highlights how we are likely to feel more rested, learn more, and experience more respect, laughter and enjoyment if we are unemployed than if we are actively disengaged in a miserable job.
