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's Approval Rating Showing Signs of Life | | Legislative wins seem to have blown a fresh wind into President Joe Biden's sail, as his job approval rating has risen six percentage points in the past month to 44%. Most of the improvement came from independents, whose rating has jumped by nine points. On 11 specific issues, the president earns his highest ratings for his handling of the pandemic and the environment and his lowest marks on the economy. Read Article | | 2. A Moment for Labor Unions | | Approval of labor unions hit a nearly 60-year high of 71% this year among Americans — but only 9% of respondents say they themselves are a member of a union, and one in six across the nation live in a union household. That said, most nonunion workers still say they would rather not join a union, and union workers have a lower employee engagement rate than nonunion workers. Read Article | | 3. R-E-S-P-E-C-T in Chile | | Making constitutional reforms is often tricky, as Chile found out Sunday when it voted on its first constitutional referendum in over 30 years. Unfortunately, the final vote unfolded under a massive disinformation campaign aimed at voters. The new constitution promised change to many of the country's institutions and greater equality for women. Over the past several years, the majority of Chileans haven't seen their country's women getting much respect. In 2021, 66% said women in Chile aren't treated with respect and dignity. | | 4. Britons See Standard of Living Declining | | Amid soaring inflation and energy prices, our latest data from the United Kingdom drive home the grim outlook those conditions have left citizens with. And it's not just the macro-outlook; most Britons also see the economic situation in their community getting worse. Read Article | | 5. The Global Rise of Sadness | | The world's sadness rate is on an eight-year climb and has hit yet another record high. Our new book, Blind Spot, releasing Sept. 13, explores this metric and more — and how leaders missed the global rise of unhappiness (and then tried to blame COVID).
