Welcome to Front Page, 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. How Immigrants Change America

Bar Chart: Americans' views on how immigration has affected life in the U.S., in 2023.

While Americans view immigrants as generally a good thing for America, the impact they perceive them having on the country isn't all positive. In fact, beyond cultural enrichment and the economy, a considerable percentage of the U.S. general public sees immigrants making crime, taxes and the drug problem worse for the U.S.

2. Climate Concerns in Europe

Bar Chart: Top 10 countries rating climate change as a very serious threat in 2021.

Before record heat waves rocked most of the globe and brought Dubai-like weather to traditionally temperate (speaking meteorologically) nations like Italy, many on the continent viewed climate change as a very serious threat to their nation in the next 20 years. Here are the nations most concerned about the changing climate.

4. Should I Stay or Should I Go?

Line Chart: 55% of managers in the U.S. are watching for or actively seeking a new job in 2023.

In this hard to predict, and increasingly expensive, economy, it's always good to check in with your talent on how they feel about potentially jumping ship. While managers account for 70% of the variance in their own team's engagement, we find that more than half of managers in the U.S. say they are watching for or actively seeking a new gig.

5. When Trust Is Lost

Line Chart: The decline in trust in newspapers and television news among U.S. adults, 1995-2023.

It's hard to imagine a free society that has confidence in its institutions without first regaining confidence in those tasked with keeping them accountable. Public trust in television news and newspapers has flatlined. For the podcast-inclined, tune in here as I discuss the why behind collapsing trust in the news with two news veterans trying to fix it.
