 | The voice of the world in numbers | | | May 27, 2025 | | | Welcome to Front Page, where we break down Gallup's latest insights on our constantly evolving world. Here are the four insights you shouldn't miss this week: | | | 1. No Place Like Home | | | | The Data: Just 26% of Americans say it's a good time to buy a house, while 72% say it's a bad time. This represents a slight recovery from record lows saying it's a good time to buy in 2023 and 2024, but it remains more negative than the rest of Gallup's trend prior to 2022. The Trend: From 1978 through 2021, majorities of U.S. adults typically said it was a good time to buy. Optimism peaked at 81% in 2003 and remained at or above 50% until 2022, when inflation and record-high prices triggered a sharp decline. Latest Story | | | 2. Code Not Clocking In | | | | The Data: Sixty-seven percent of U.S. employees say they never use AI in their role, while only 4% report using it daily. Slower Moving: AI use among employees held steady from 2023 to 2024, indicating that widespread adoption remains limited despite leadership enthusiasm and organizational efforts to promote its use.

Income Shapes Inflation Worries | | | | The Data: Inflation is the most frequently cited financial problem across income brackets, named by 38% of middle-income, 27% of lower-income and 24% of upper-income Americans. Income Differences: While inflation and housing costs concern all groups, lower-income Americans are more likely to also cite low wages (20%), and upper-income Americans uniquely report stock market investments (11%) and retirement savings (7%) as top financial problems. See All Rankings | | | 4. Regulation Nation | | | | The Data: In 2024, 42% of Americans said there is too much government regulation of business, compared with 28% who said it's about right and 27% who said there is too little. More Angles: Two other Gallup questions underscore these views on regulation: Slightly more than half of Americans say the federal government has too much power, and an even larger share believe the government is doing too much that should be left to individuals and businesses.
