| 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. The Federal Reserve in a Slump | | | | As the Fed blazes along with interest rate hikes aimed at battling inflation, the institution is taking an image hit. Our annual September look at public ratings of federal agencies finds 37% of Americans saying the central bank is doing an "excellent" or "good" job. That's a seven-point drop from last year when the economy was in a very different weather pattern than it is today.

But the publicity hasn't been harmful; to the contrary, the FBI saw an uptick in its "excellent"/"good" job rating from Americans, climbing six points over the past year to 50%. The bureau's rating features the largest partisan gap of any agency rating this year, with most Democrats (79%) versus 29% of Republicans giving the agency high marks.

The rate has dropped from a record-high 62% in 2021. But support for the concept has held steady among independents at a whopping 75%. With Democrats in charge in D.C., Republicans nationwide are more likely than Democrats to want a third party to emerge, but the rate is particularly high among moderate/liberal Republicans (60%).

But working remotely can also have a downside — case in point, a never-ending workday. Read our latest tips on how to avoid the remote work Zoomathons that can leave those of us working remotely feeling burned out and slipping on life-work balance.
Read Article | | | 5. The Long Reach of Natural Disasters | | | | As Floridians start the long recovery from Hurricane Ian, we wanted to share data from the Lloyd's Register Foundation World Risk Poll on how many people around the world have experienced some type of disaster. In the past five years, 17% of the world's population has experienced hurricanes or cyclones (7%) or flooding or heavy rains (10%).
