 | The voice of the world in numbers | | | July 23, 2024 | | | 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. More Americans Want to See Less Immigration | | | | The Data: Fifty-five percent of U.S. adults now advocate for decreasing immigration levels, up from 41% last year — marking the most public desire to curb immigration since 2001. Longer Trends: This is the first time since 2005 that a majority of Americans have thought immigration should be decreased. The record high was 65%, recorded in 1993 and 1995. Full Story | 2. 30-Year Low: Institutional Confidence | | | | The Data: Americans' confidence in major U.S. institutions remains historically low, with an average of 28% saying they have a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in the 17 major U.S. institutions measured in Gallup's annual update. The Major Institutions: The 14 institutions included in the average, as well as three additional institutions, listed from the greatest confidence among Americans to the least, are: small business, the military, the police, higher education, the medical system, the church/organized religion, the U.S. Supreme Court, public schools, organized labor, large technology companies, banks, the presidency, the criminal justice system, newspapers, big business, television news, and Congress. Full Story | 3. 37% View Speaker Mike Johnson Favorably | | | | The Data: Speaker of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson is currently the highest-ranking Republican in the federal government. As of June, 37% of U.S. adults had a favorable opinion of him and 43% an unfavorable opinion, with 21% not familiar enough with him to offer a rating. How He Compares: Johnson's predecessors also tended to have higher unfavorable than favorable ratings at roughly similar points in their tenures as speaker. This includes Kevin McCarthy, whose 37% favorable and 44% unfavorable ratings in a poll taken last year are almost identical to Johnson's current ratings. Full Story | 4. 26% of Venezuelans Confident in Elections | | | | The Data: Ahead of Venezuela's presidential election on Sunday, the public continues to place little faith in the process. Just over one in four Venezuelans (26%) surveyed last August expressed confidence in the honesty of their elections. Regional Comparison: Venezuela's confidence is 12 percentage points lower than the regional median across Latin America (38%) in 2023. Election confidence levels in this region varied, from a low of 19% in Ecuador to a high of 67% in Uruguay. World Stories | 5. Interview: How Tim Shriver Leads | | | | Quote: “A person with Down syndrome might live most of their life being pointed at, being told what their limitations are, being reminded what their disabilities are. Then they get into the gym and they're a point guard … The identity shift from a deficit to a skill, from a weakness to a strength, was just pouring out of our athletes. The starvation, the demand to be seen for their strengths and not their challenges — it just seeped into my heart.” Watch Video | | |
