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. Republicans on the Immigration Crisis | | | | As the situation at the southern border remains fraught, 37% of Republicans identify immigration as the most important problem facing the nation, far outpacing their second-highest concern, the economy (23%). That contrasts with immigration's tie for first with "the government" among all Americans, mentioned by 16%. Expect this issue to be front and center as primary contests get underway in the 2024 election.
Immigration Topics | 2. America's Leadership Crisis | | | | Speaking of "most important problem" data, readers of these pages will know that poor government/leadership is often the most frequently mentioned problem by the public. Our latest job approval ratings on the nation's top government leaders drive home the point that no sector of government is currently spared from Americans' civic frustration.
Read Article | 3. The Partisan Tilt | | | | A more granular look at the U.S. leadership crisis, particularly along party lines, paints a more nuanced picture. Of note is the significant difference between how Democrats feel about leaders from their side of the aisle (largely positive) versus how Republicans feel about theirs (somewhat positive or negative).
Read Article | 4. Netanyahu's Image Slips With Americans | | | | As the war in Gaza rages on, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's approval rating among Americans has come in at the lowest since he emerged as a widely known leader (essentially since 1997). As the longest-serving prime minister of Israel, Netanyahu is arguably one of the most recognizable foreign leaders among the U.S. public. The latest reading even shows a significant decline in his approval rating among Republicans since our last measure in 2019. While 55% still approve of the job he is doing, that's down 10 points from our last reading.
Read Article | 5. Taiwan Votes | | | | In one of the most closely watched elections in the early days of a critical election year worldwide, Taiwanese went to the voting booth this past weekend. As nations in the region, as well as Washington, closely monitor the escalating tensions in the waters that Taiwan shares with mainland China, 41% of Taiwan residents surveyed before the vote said they are confident in the honesty of their elections.
