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. Scamophobia | | | | As the holiday shopping and giving season kicks into high gear in many parts of the world, we find that Americans are more concerned about being a victim of scams than they are about violent crime. Nearly six in 10 say they "frequently" or "occasionally" worry about being tricked out of their money by a scammer. That fear ranks second only to identity theft on the list of crimes asked about.
Read Article | 2. When Report Cards Miss the Mark | | | | In our latest work with Learning Heroes on grades and student proficiency, we find a yawning gap between parents' perceptions of their child's academic performance, driven by letter grades, and their National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) proficiency performance scores. But what are parents prepared to do if they were to discover their child is falling behind, and how does that differ across racial/ethnic groups in the country?
Read Article | 3. Biden Remains at Low Point | | | | Winding down his third year in office, President Joe Biden's job approval remains at his lowest registered rating of 37%. Despite a very active month of diplomacy on the Israel-Hamas war and a high-profile face-to-face in San Francisco with the president of China, Biden's approval rating has remained unchanged since our last reading. Among Democrats, his highest marks are for his handling of the situation in Ukraine, while his lowest are for his handling of the situation in the Middle East.
Read Article | 4. COP28 | | | | Leaders and delegates from around the world are gathered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to tackle climate change. With the goal of moving the needle on responsibility-sharing between developed and developing economies, the 28th meeting of the "Conference of the Parties" aims to raise global awareness of how efforts to preserve the environment are perceived across the globe. Discover how satisfied people are with their country's efforts to safeguard the environment.
Read Article | 5. Pink Slip Panic | | | | Despite a widespread labor shortage in the U.S., some industries are experiencing rumblings of layoffs and furloughs. Our latest research finds that 13% of workers have had workplace discussions about potential layoffs. In those workplaces, employees are far more likely to say they are burned out and seeking a new job and far less likely to say their organization cares about their overall wellbeing. For great tips on how to lead through uncertainty, check out our latest on the subject.
