And such sentiment is up slightly from 2014.
Few Indian adults believe trade kills jobs (15%) or undermines wages (13%).
At the same time, roughly half of Indians (52%) say trade increases prices, a sentiment that is widely shared in other emerging markets yet is contrary to economic theory that international commerce should lead to falling prices.
The rise in intense Indian support for trade reflects a widely shared perception that international commerce benefits individuals.
Contrary to public opinion in the U.S., Europe and Japan, a majority of Indians believe trade with other countries leads to an increase in wages (57%) and creates jobs (56%).
Although young adults continue to have relatively high rates of Twitter usage, the number of 30-49 year olds who use the service has doubled since late 2010—from 7% of such users in November to 14% in May 2011.
By contrast, Twitter adoption over the same time period was stable among the youngest adults (those ages 18-24) who were the most likely to use the service in our first survey.
This growth trend is especially pronounced among 25-34 year olds—Twitter use for this cohort roughly doubled between November 2010 and May 2011, from 9% to 19%—although growth in Twitter use among internet users ages 35-44 was notable as well (from 8% in late 2010 to 14% in spring 2011).
This chart shows that the US population didn't exercise or play sports except for a couple of increases in 2012 and 2016.
Moreover, most Republicans and many Democrats say they believe that, on the issues that matter most to them, the other side is winning.
Just 19% say they trust the government to do what’s right.
The public remains in a foul mood, frustrated by stagnant incomes, a shrinking middle class and gruesome global terrorism.
So far it’s not looking that way.
And not since the early 2000s has a majority of the public said the nation is on the right track, making these past dozen years the longest sustained stretch of national pessimism since the onset of polling.
Might 2016 be the year we break the fever?
Large majorities favored the federal government providing free medical care for those unable to pay (76%), helping state and local governments cover the costs of medical care for mothers at childbirth (74%), spending $25 million (big bucks in those days) to control venereal diseases (68%), and giving loans on “a long time and easy basis” to enable tenant farmers to buy the farms they then rented (73%).
In the initial survey in this series about the news media’s performance in 1985, 55% said news stories were accurate while 34% said they were inaccurate.
Just 29% of Americans say that news organizations generally get the facts straight, while 63% say that news stories are often inaccurate.
That percentage had fallen sharply by the late 1990s and has remained low over the last decade.
Only about a third (32%) say they think Cuba will become more democratic over the next several years, while 60% say it will be about the same as it is now.
Yet there is broad public skepticism that a thaw in U.S.-Cuba relations will lead to greater democracy in Cuba.
Just 9% say conditions are excellent or good, which is little changed from measures over the past two years.
However, among those viewing the economy negatively – as only fair or poor – the proportion rating it poor has declined over the past few months while the percentage saying it is only fair has risen.
The public’s views of current economic conditions also remain negative.
Emergent bio solutions had the smallest.
Alnylam pharmaceuticals, Kite Pharma and bluebird biro were the top three companies with regards to market capitalisation.
retail sectors including building material and garden equipment, food and beverage stores, motor vehicles and parts dealers, non store retailers, sports goods, hobby & musical instruments and total retail increased during the impact of covid, whilst the other sectors decreased.
And in the end, for the first time in 2008, no single story filled more than 15% of the time studied on television or space online or on the nation’s front pages, according to the weekly News Coverage Index from the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism.
While the ongoing storylines of the struggling economy and the incoming Obama administration were still in the spotlight, other stories rivaled them for attention.
Overall, 45% say “using overwhelming military force is the best way to defeat terrorism around the world,” while about as many (46%) say “relying too much on military force to defeat terrorism creates hatred that leads to more terrorism.”
The public is divided over the best approach to confronting global terrorism.
Younger adults are especially avid adopters, but social networking continues to grow in popularity for older adults as well.
Six out of ten internet users ages 50-64 are social networking site users, as are 43% of those ages 65 and older.
Today, social networking site use is a major activity for internet users from a wide range of demographic groups.
The 851,508 apprehensions recorded last fiscal year (October 2018-September 2019) were more than double the number the year before (396,579) but still well short of the levels in the early 2000s, according to CBP, the agency tasked with enforcing immigration laws at the border.
That represents a notable break from the 2000s and early 2010s, when Mexicans accounted for the vast majority of those apprehended.
The demographic profile of those crossing the border has changed, too: People traveling in families, not single adults, accounted for the majority of those apprehended last year (56%).
The number of migrant apprehensions at the U.S.-Mexico border rose in fiscal 2019 to its highest annual level in 12 years.
And most of those apprehended were from the Northern Triangle countries of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, which have struggled with violence and a lack of economic opportunities.
The increase in apprehensions has come as a growing number of migrants seek asylum.
Millennials and Gen Xers came into the population more supportive of allowing gays and lesbians to marry legally than older generations, and those greater levels of support have persisted over time.
Over this time period, support for same-sex marriage has grown from 36% to 55% among the public overall.
As a result, some of the explanation for an overall shift in attitudes about same-sex marriage is attributable to a “generational replacement” as members of older, less supportive, generations pass away, they are “replaced” in the adult population by members of younger, more supportive, generations entering adulthood.
(See this interactive for opinions of same-sex marriage over time.)
The accompanying chart shows the percent that support allowing gays and lesbians to marry legally across generations from 2005 to 2015.
However, though their overall numbers are still relatively low, older adults have represented one of the fastest-growing segments of the social networking site-using population.37 This growth may be driven by several factors, some of which include the ability to reconnect with people from the past, find supporting communities to deal with a chronic disease, and connect with younger generations.
Currently, 88% of American adults age 18 and older have a cell phone, 57% have a laptop, 19% own an e-book reader, and 19% have a tablet computer; about six in ten adults (63%) go online wirelessly with one of those devices.
Gadget ownership is generally correlated with age, education, and household income, although some devices—notably e-book readers and tablets39—are as popular or even more popular with adults ages 30-49 than those under 30.
Though one of the newer online activities the Pew Internet Project studies,35 as of 2011 social networking sites are used by 65% of all internet users—half of all American adults.36 Among internet users, we see a very strong correlation in use with age, as some 87% of internet users under 30 use these sites, compared with less than a third (29%) of those 65 and older.
Between 2000 and 2020, the proportion of respondents being asked "what is your religious preference" who responded with some form of Christianity (e.g.
Protestant/Roman Catholic) increased from 0.05 in 2000 to 0.10 in 2020.
For instance, despite widespread concerns that mobile phones might expose people to false or inaccurate information, a sizable majority of mobile phone users (79%) say their own phone has helped their ability to get news and information about important issues.
Similarly, a median of 58% of mobile phone users say their devices have helped their ability to communicate face-to-face – even as a median of 48% of adults in these countries say people should be very worried about mobile phones’ effects on face-to-face communication.
Yet these broader concerns often coexist with perceived benefits to users.
On this score, China far outstrips India, where only 41% say they are content with national conditions.
Most strikingly, China heads the list of countries that are, on balance, satisfied with the way things are going at home.
These figures represent a sharp improvement from 2002, when only 48% said they were satisfied with their country while 33% were not.
And in China, the level of satisfaction is more than three times higher than in Russia, where only 23% are pleased with their country’s direction.
More than seven-in-ten Chinese citizens (72%) express satisfaction with their national condition, while fewer than one-in-five (19%) are dissatisfied.
More than four times as many people say they sympathize with Israel rather than the Palestinians (49% to 11%); 15% say they sympathize with neither side, while a sizable proportion offers no opinion (20%).
The public has long sympathized more with Israel than the Palestinians in the Middle East conflict and that continues to be the case.
On this point, Muslims find themselves in rare agreement with the American public; majorities in Indonesia, Pakistan, Lebanon and Turkey all believe the U.S. is not religious enough.
Majorities in France and the Netherlands and pluralities in Great Britain and Germany see the U.S. as too religious.
By contrast, a 58% majority of Americans say their country is not religious enough.
The biggest gap between the way Americans are seen by other Western countries, and the way they see themselves, is with respect to religion.
Currently, just 30% of Germans have a positive view of the U.S. — down from 42% as recently as two years ago — and favorable ratings inch ever lower in Great Britain and Canada.
Favorable views of the U.S. are in single digits in Turkey (9%) and have declined to 15% in Pakistan.
The U.S. image remains abysmal in most Muslim countries in the Middle East and Asia, and continues to decline among the publics of many of America’s oldest allies.
there  has been a steady increase in people over the age of 65 which peaked in the middle of 2018.
There is somewhat more variance in Republicans’ views.
While three-quarters of Republicans say Trump has run an open and transparent administration (75%) and improved U.S. standing around the world (72%), a smaller majority (57%) say he has set a high moral standard for the presidency.
And while most Republicans say Trump has not improperly used the office of the presidency to enrich himself or others, 23% say he definitely or probably has done this.
In addition, 56% say Trump has definitely or probably used his office to enrich himself, or his friends and family.
Majorities say Trump definitely or probably has not set a high moral standard for the presidency (70% say this), improved the way government works (66%), improved the country’s standing around the world (63%) and run an open and transparent administration (61%).
From 2008 to 2015 there was a relatively flat trend in the data and then from 2015 onward the quantity shown on the y axis sharply increased.
A driving attitude of the Tea Party is a belief in smaller government: Fully 92% of Tea Party Republicans prefer a smaller government with fewer services, just 5% want a bigger government.
Among non-Tea Party Republicans, a smaller government is preferred by a less one-sided 67%-28% margin.
(In June 1967, 51% of Republicans viewed Vietnam as a mistake, compared with 33% of Democrats.)
In contrast, Iraq divides America along partisan lines in a way that Vietnam never did.
The latest Pew survey finds that 73% of Democrats believe that military action in Iraq was the wrong decision, compared with just 14% of Republicans – a gap roughly three times as great as the largest partisan gap in opinions about Vietnam.
The brand Samsung is shown to have the largest market share, with I don't own a phone, BenQ-Siemens, HTC, Panasonic and Phillips all showing the smallest market share.
The brands of phone are listed in alphabetical order.
As recently as a year ago, more than three-quarters of Republicans (77%) believed things were going at least fairly well in Iraq – a position most Democrats and independents then rejected.
In large part, the steep downturn over the past year reflects a crumbling of the GOP unity over progress in Iraq.
But today, a bare 51% majority of Republicans say the situation in Iraq is going well, down 26 points from a year ago.
According to the latest weekly News Interest Index survey, conducted October 2-5 by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press, one-in-ten followed news about earthquakes in Indonesia and a tsunami in the South Pacific most closely, while 9% named talks between the United States and Iran over Iran’s nuclear program as their top story.
A third (33%) of the public says they followed the debate over health care reform more closely than other top stories last week, while 22% followed reports about the condition of the U.S. economy most closely.
These are among the findings of the weekly News Coverage Index, a comprehensive analysis of the press coverage the week of Nov. 3-9 from the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism.
Of the other publics surveyed in the region, only east Germans (82%) rivaled Czechs in their support for free markets.
Despite its recent drop in economic growth and rise in unemployment and inflation, nearly eight-in-ten (79%) Czechs approved of the change from a state-controlled to a free market economy in the post-communist period.
Looking back at every presidential election since 1828 (when they began to resemble today’s system), the winner’s electoral vote share has, on average, been 1.36 times his popular vote share – what we call the electoral vote inflation (EVI) factor.
Based on the reported popular vote to date and the expected vote in the Electoral College, Biden’s EVI is 1.11 – smaller, in fact, than Trump’s in 2016 (1.23), and the smallest since George W. Bush’s two victories in 2000 and 2004 (1.05 both times).
The bigger the EVI, the greater the disparity between the winner’s popular vote and electoral vote margins; the smaller the EVI, the closer the two margins are to each other.
That two such dissimilar elections could generate such similar Electoral College margins illustrates an abiding feature of the United States’ quirky way of choosing its top executive: The Electoral College consistently produces more lopsided results than the popular vote.
While concern over the budget deficit has gone up, the percentage giving priority to dealing with the nation’s energy problem has declined significantly – and this decline has taken place among Republicans, Democrats and independents alike.
In the late 2000s, about six-in-ten consistently gave top priority to dealing with the nation’s energy problem.
The current number is more in line with views from the early years of that decade, when the percentage that said dealing with the nation’s energy problem should be a top priority ranged from the low-to-mid 40s.
In the current survey, 49% rate energy a top priority, down 11 points from 60% in 2009.
Unemployment fell again until 2020 when it rose significantly by almost 0.02.
Unemployment rates have however remained below the 2009/ 2010 0.08 level over the subsequent decade.
Unemployment fell until 2016 when it rose slightly.
In Pew Center surveys conducted since the Iraq war earlier this year, 30% of Americans identify themselves as Republicans, 31% as Democrats and 39% as independents or other.
When that combined sample is winnowed to registered voters, the partisan breakdown is just as narrow ­ 33% Republican, 34% Democrat, 33% independent or other.
40 million US dollars.
The highest operating income was in 2018/19 reaching approx.
The least was in 2015/16 reaching a negative of 40 million dollars.
The report also compares scores for ELL students to those of black and Hispanics students and finds smaller but still substantial gaps.
In the 4th grade, 35% of ELL students are behind in math and 47% are behind in reading when compared with their white counterparts.
The analysis of national standardized testing scores shows that about 51% of 8th grade ELL students are behind whites in reading and math, meaning that the scores for one out of every two will have to improve for the group to achieve parity.
Fathers today get higher grades than mothers for their performance, especially from women.
Overall, 47% of Americans say fathers of children under the age of 18 are now doing a worse job as parents than fathers did 20 or 30 years ago; this compares with 56% who say mothers are doing a worse job.
About one-in-five (21%) say today’s fathers are doing a better job compared with fathers a generation ago; far fewer (9%) say that today’s mothers are doing a better job than their predecessors 20 or 30 years ago.
Public attention to reports about the condition of the U.S. economy reached a 15 year high last week with 45% of the public following this news very closely.
This is up from two weeks prior when 38% reported following news about the U.S. economy very closely and substantially higher than last fall when less than three-in-ten followed U.S. economic news very closely.
The last time the condition of the U.S. economy drew this much attention was in February 1993 when 49% of the public said they followed economic news very closely.
Those in the top income tiers paid closer attention to news about the Bear Stearns buyout than did those with lower annual incomes.
The big economic news story last week was the buyout of Wall Street investment bank Bear Stearns by J.P. Morgan Chase with the financial backing of the Federal Reserve.
Among those earning $75,000 annually, 27% reported following this story very closely compared to 17% of those earning between $30,000 and $49,999 and 16% of those earning less than $30,000.
Income differences do not affect the level of attention paid to the condition of the U.S. economy in general.
Almost half of the public said that they followed news about the buyout either very closely (21%) or fairly closely (26%), but the story attracted far less interest than the condition of the U.S. economy in general (78% very or fairly closely).
Most of the rest are Christians (18%), Muslims (10%) or people unaffiliated with any religion (10%).
That survey found that about half of Indian Americans (51%) identify as Hindus, while 5% identify as Sikhs and 2% as Jains (two other religious groups that also observe Diwali).
The decline, reflecting a broader one in active-duty U.S. forces, has occurred in multiple countries – including South Korea, which has become a focus of attention amid escalating tensions between the United States and North Korea.
The number of active-duty U.S. military troops stationed overseas has dipped below 200,000 for the first time in at least 60 years.
As the table below indicates, 65% of home broadband users go online from home at least once per day to use the internet or check email, compared with 40% for dialup users.
Our February-March 2007 survey shows this phenomenon proceeding apace.
The lowest share of respondents for project duration was at a share of 0.1 in July 2013.
German men (68%) are more likely than women (56%) to see the U.S. as a dependable strategic partner.
About six-in-ten Germans (62%) believe the United States is a reliable ally.
But only 13% see Washington as very reliable.
Notably, 31% of Germans think the U.S. is not a reliable ally.
Overall, voters are less confident that their vote will be accurately counted in the upcoming election than they were in 2008 and 2004.
In both 2008 (57%) and 2004 (62%), a majority of voters were “very” confident, compared with just under half who feel this way today (49%).
In Germany and France, for instance, respondents who place themselves on the right side of the political spectrum are more than twice as likely as those on the left to say they have an unfavorable opinion of Muslims.
Negative attitudes toward Muslims are also more common on the ideological right.
Some 43% of parents say their children’s K-12 school has provided a lot of online instruction since it closed, while 35% say the school has provided some.
There are differences in the amount of online instruction parents say their children have received during the coronavirus-related closures.
(Online instruction can include online assignments, meetings with teachers or instructional videos.)
There appears to be a rise in service and hospitality industries and a fall in manufacturing and sales.
Overall, as the years go on, people think that foreign trade means opportunity for economic growth in America.
The distinction between being willing to compromise and actually giving way on specific issues is most stark when it comes to abortion.
Just a quarter say that the party should compromise so that some agreement can be reached.
A 54% majority is willing to see leaders who share their views on the environment come to a compromise in order to reach some agreement, though even here, 43% are not.
There is considerably more support for compromise on other major issues of the day.
Even among those who most admire willingness to compromise in political leaders, 39% see no room for compromise on this issue.
Nearly three-in-four (72%) say that the political party that most closely shares their view on abortion should stick to its position on this issue without compromising.
Even among those who think most highly of politicians who are willing to compromise, just 30% want compromise on this issue, while more than two-thirds (68%) are unwilling to bend.
Private companies such as SpaceX, Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic continue to develop space exploration capabilities that were once the sole purview of government agencies such as NASA.
Some 44% of Americans have a great deal of confidence these companies will make a profit in their space-related ventures, with 36% saying they are fairly confident that space companies will be profitable.
Emigration was highest in 2015, topping out at 55k.
This was followed by a sharp decrease in 2016, which itself was followed by a steady increase to 2019.
Osama bin Laden, however, is viewed favorably by large percentages in Pakistan (65%), Jordan (55%) and Morocco (45%).
Instead, most say it is an effort to control Mideast oil and to dominate the world.
In the predominantly Muslim countries surveyed, anger toward the United States remains pervasive, although the level of hatred has eased somewhat and support for the war on terrorism has inched up.
Majorities in all four Muslim nations surveyed doubt the sincerity of the war on terrorism.
Even in Turkey, where bin Laden is highly unpopular, as many as 31% say that suicide attacks against Americans and other Westerners in Iraq are justifiable.
By contrast, the 1996 campaign, when Clinton consistently held a large lead over challenger Bob Dole, saw the least variation from one poll to the other (an average spread of 1.2 percentage points).
The polling variability in 2004 falls close to that seen in 1984 and 1988, when the average spread was 2.2% and 2.3%, respectively, and slightly above the election of 2000 (at 1.7%).
The greatest variability in the polls was seen in 1992, when Ross Perot’s on-again, off- again candidacy ­ and Bill Clinton’s rising support in the June-July time frame ­ resulted in average polling variability of 2.9 percentage points.
