| The voice of the world in numbers | | | Aug. 26, 2025 | | | Welcome to Front Page, Gallup's indispensable intelligence distilled into five charts that give leaders the insights they need to make their most important decisions. | | | 1. Positive Outlook for Black-White Relations | | | | The Data: A majority of Americans (62%) think a solution to Black-White relations will “eventually be worked out.” Only in 2008, in a special poll conducted after Barack Obama was elected as the first Black U.S. president, have more Americans (67%) than now said Black-White relations will eventually work out. Racial Differences: While Black Americans remain pessimistic on balance, with 59% expecting Black-White relations to “always be a problem,” White and Hispanic Americans are largely optimistic (67% and 65%, respectively, foresee a solution).

By Race: Majorities of White Americans view racial/ethnic relations positively, but only 45% of Black Americans rate Black-White relations as good. Just 38% of Black Americans say the same for Hispanic-White relations. Explore Full Data | | | 3. 1960s: Americans Skeptical Demonstrations Work | | | | The Data: Before the Aug. 28, 1963, March on Washington, held 62 years ago this week, 60% of Americans said mass demonstrations hurt the cause of racial equality. In May 1964, negative sentiment remained, with 74% seeing demonstrations as unproductive. The original Gallup question used the term “demonstrations by Negroes,” reflecting the language of the era. A 1969 Gallup survey found “Negroes” was the most preferred term among Black Americans at the time. Historical Note: Martin Luther King Jr.'s “I Have a Dream” speech, delivered at that event, is now seen as a defining and pivotal moment in U.S. civil rights history, paving the way for passage of the Civil Rights Act a year later and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. By May 1969, a year after King's assassination, Americans expressed more positive attitudes toward nonviolent demonstrations by civil rights activists, with 63% saying that Black Americans could win civil rights using nonviolent protest.

Just over a quarter (27%) say their local economy is getting better, and 32% say it's a good time to find a job. More Context: Canada's unemployment rate has risen from 4.8% to 6.9% since mid-2022, while residents' job optimism has fallen from 49% to 32% over the past year. The last time that Canadians were this pessimistic was during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Explore the Story | | | 5. Calories Count, but Sugar Counts More | | | | The Data: Nearly half of U.S. adults who check food labels (47%) focus on sugar content. Calories (37%), carbs (17%) and protein (15%) follow. Just 5% look for added dyes and 3% for chemicals. Who's Paying Attention: Women (81%) are more likely than men (70%) to say they read nutrition labels, and attention increases with both education and income. Postgraduates (84%) and high-income Americans (80%) are among the most attentive, while those with a high school education or less (67%) and lower-income Americans (65%) are among the least. Americans who describe their diet as “very healthy” are the most likely to pay attention to nutritional information (88%), compared with 76% of those who describe their diet as “somewhat healthy” and 49% of those who say their diet is “not too healthy” or “not at all healthy.” Read More | | | | | |
