For instance, while nearly six-in-ten Egyptians (58%) believed most people can be trusted, only 27% of Kuwaitis took this position.
Among the 47 countries included in the 2007 poll, China had the highest level of social trust: Almost eight-in-ten Chinese (79%) agreed with the statement “Most people in this society are trustworthy.” Although no other Asian nation matches China’s score, levels of trust are relatively high in the region, with majorities in Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, and India saying most people in their respective countries can be trusted.

Only 13% of the public followed the Libby verdict very closely and 7% named it as the story they followed most closely last week.
Even the announcement of a verdict in the Scooter Libby trial failed to generate much public interest, in spite of the news media’s intense focus on the story.
In other top stories, the public continued to pay fairly close attention to news about the 2008 presidential campaign.

Nearly one-quarter of the public followed this story very closely, and 13% said it was their top story of the week.
For example, in the Asia-Pacific region, more tend to see investment from China as a potential liability, giving Beijing too much influence over their economies.
These same countries are also more likely than others to see U.S. economic influence in their country positively.
Rather, most tend to view China’s growing military as something bad for their own countries.
People generally see China’s growing economy as a good thing for their country and believe China is having a predominantly positive influence on their country’s economic affairs.
Second, China’s neighbors generally take a much more negative stance toward China’s military and economic growth than other countries surveyed.
China has emerged as a global economic superpower in recent decades.
And, when it comes to developed countries, views of China are much more mixed to negative.
But, even while China’s rise is largely perceived as positive in emerging economies, there are pockets of discontent.

When Pew next surveyed Indonesia in 2005, however, America’s favorable rating had more than doubled to 38%, an increase due in large part to the aid provided by the U.S. after the December 2004 tsunami that killed an estimated 167,000 in Indonesia.
Indeed, 79% of Indonesians said that the aid led them to have a more positive view of the U.S. A year later, the 2006 survey shows a slight decline in evaluations of the U.S., although at 30%, America’s favorable rating is still significantly higher than it was in 2003.

News about the new book, “Decision Points,” made up 4% of coverage measured by PEJ.
One reason for lighter coverage four years ago was that the 2012 election featured an incumbent president with no significant challengers within his party, so attention was focused almost solely on the Republican side.
That is more than double the coverage the 2012 campaign received (132 stories) during the first nine months in 2009.
A search of the LexisNexis database of 15 of the nation’s largest newspapers from Jan. 1-Sept. 27, 2013, identified 335 stories that talked about the 2016 campaign.

Catholics in these three metro areas all tend to have at least somewhat higher household incomes than do U.S. Catholics overall, perhaps reflecting the higher cost of living in these areas.

Those who thought their domestic economy was in good shape and those who expected their country’s economy to improve were both more likely to have favorable views of the EU and to approve of its handling of COVID-19 than people who thought the economy was in bad shape or expected the economy to worsen.
Perceptions of the economy at the time of the survey – as well as optimism about the economic future – also colored views of the bloc.

Opinion of the Republican Party, which stands at 40%, has not changed all year.
This compares with a 59% favorable rating for the party as recently as April and 62% shortly before Obama took office in January.

The survey, conducted April 21-26 among 1,546 adults, measured reactions to nine political words and phrases.
The public’s impressions of “capitalism,” though far more positive, are somewhat mixed.

Reactions to the word “libertarian” are evenly divided – 38% positive, 37% negative.

People in advanced economies are more likely to have mobile phones – smartphones in particular – and are more likely to use the internet and social media than people in emerging economies.
For example, a median of 76% across 18 advanced economies surveyed have smartphones, compared with a median of only 45% in emerging economies.
Mobile technology has spread rapidly around the globe.
But the growth in mobile technology to date has not been equal, either across nations or within them.
Today, it is estimated that more than 5 billion people have mobile devices, and over half of these connections are smartphones.

But despite all these reservations, views about what occurred in Selma were another matter.
Not unexpectedly, virtually all of the black respondents sided more with the demonstrators (95%), but the balance of opinion among whites was also clearly with them rather than with the state of Alabama (46% to 21%).
By a 48% to 21% margin, a Harris poll in May 1965 found its respondents saying they sided more with the civil rights groups involved than with the state of Alabama.
From a post-inauguration high of 64%, Obama’s approval rating fell to roughly 50% by the end of the year as unemployment rose to 10.0%.
As with Reagan, a rising joblessness appears to have taken a substantial toll on the president’s job approval ratings.
However, there is nothing now on the horizon that seems likely to diminish the impact that unemployment is having on views of Obama.
His situation continues to parallel Reagan’s, whose ratings recovered only when jobless rates began to decline.
When Barack Obama took office, 7.6% of Americans were unemployed (nearly identical to the unemployment rate Reagan inherited some 30 years earlier).
As the past 30 years have shown, shifts in the public’s judgments about presidential performance are not always the product of rising or falling unemployment rates; other factors can intervene.
However, during those same four years the growth of the Latino vote continued to lag well behind the growth of the Latino population.
This widening gap is driven by two key demographic trends: a high percentage of the new Hispanics in the population are either too young to vote or ineligible because they are not citizens (Figure 1).
