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. Are You Worried About the Economy? | | As rumblings of bank failures linger and inflation continues to tax everyday families across the globe, here in the U.S., Americans' concerns about the economy remain near the higher end of the trend, approaching a level we haven't seen in almost a decade. Read Article | | 2. The Broader View From Main Street | | Similarly, when asked to think about economic conditions today and where they are headed, U.S. consumers remain in the doldrums. Inflation leads in top economic concerns, but the government is still mentioned as the most important problem facing the country. Read Article | | 3. Democracy Promotion and All That Jazz | | Another important Iraq War anniversary has passed (and there are a few of them). Last weekend marked 20 years since the statue of Saddam was torn down to cheering crowds in Firdos Square. At the time, there was a jubilance among some of the war's proponents about how, with U.S. help, democracy would spread across Iraq and the region. Today, America is still losing the battle for hearts and minds. Read Article | | 4. Global Confidence in Financial Institutions | | With central bankers and economists descending on Washington for the 2023 Spring Meetings of the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund, here's a look at how much confidence their constituents around the globe have in the institutions they lead. | | 5. Extreme Weather in America | | It feels like we are reading more and more about communities across the U.S. being affected by extreme weather. Our latest research on the subject finds that Southerners are much more likely than residents of other regions to report experiencing extreme weather. Read Article | | And that's The Week in Charts!
