 | The voice of the world in numbers | | | March 25, 2025 | | | 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. U.S. Support for Ukraine Aid Hits New High | | | | The Data: Three years into the Russia-Ukraine war, 46% of Americans say the U.S. is not doing enough to help Ukraine. This represents a 16-percentage-point jump since December to a record high for the trend since 2022. Partisan Driven: The expanded perception among Americans that the U.S. is not doing enough to assist Ukraine is largely driven by Democrats (+31 points to 79%) and independents (+14 points to 46%). While 56% of Republicans still say the U.S. is doing too much, that is down 11 points from December. More on U.S. Views of Ukraine | 2. EU Chooses EU | | | | The Data: In 2024, the leadership of the European Union enjoyed a median approval rating of 62% across countries within the bloc. This is significantly higher than the 53% of EU residents who approved of Germany's leadership, the 35% who approved of U.S. leadership and the 46% who approved of their own country's leadership. EU Leadership Favored: Higher percentages of EU residents have consistently approved of EU leadership than of their own national government. In 2024, this reached a milestone: No EU country rated its own leadership, or Washington's, higher than Brussels'. Deeper Analysis of EU | 3. 39% Satisfied With U.S. Position in World | | | | The Data: Consistent with most readings over the past two decades, 39% of Americans are satisfied and 59% dissatisfied with the United States' position in the world today. The Trend: Dating back to the Vietnam era, it has been rare for a majority of Americans to say they are satisfied with the United States' global position. The exceptions occurred in the early 2000s — amid the economic boom, the 9/11 terror attacks and the start of the Iraq War — and in 2020, just before the COVID-19 pandemic struck the U.S. At the same time, a stable 66% of Americans want the U.S. to have a leading role in world affairs.

Post-COVID 'Exclusively Remote' Rate Settles at 26% | | | | The Data: When last asked in November 2024, 26% of remote-capable employees in the U.S. said they worked fully remotely and 19% worked exclusively on-site, while 55% worked hybrid. COVID Shift: At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, 70% of remote-capable employees were fully remote. This fell to 29% by mid-2022 and has remained stable since then. With just over half working hybrid, most remote-capable workers have maintained some level of flexibility. Pandemic's Impact on Work | 5. Pandemic's Lasting Effects on U.S. Kids | | | | The Data: Parents recently shared their views on the lasting effects of the pandemic on their K-12 children, indicating that their child's social skills have taken the biggest hit (with 22% saying there have been negative and ongoing issues) and physical health has been the least affected (with 9% citing negative and ongoing issues). Grade-Level Differences: Middle school students — who were in sixth through eighth grade in 2020 — are the most likely to have experienced ongoing negative effects. This is the case for middle schoolers' social skills, math, reading and science, compared with both elementary and high school students. Parents' Views on Pandemic | | | |
