khhuang/chartve_dataset huggingface dataset:
The media divided coverage among top stories, including the economy (11% of coverage) and the election outcome (9%), according to a separate analysis by the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism.
About three-in-ten (29%) say they followed news about the economy more closely than other major stories, while 20% say they followed news about the election outcome most closely.
News about airport security screening procedures made up 6% of the newshole measured by PEJ, while coverage of the situation in Afghanistan accounted for 7%.
At the start of a busy holiday travel period, 14% say they most closely followed news about tougher passenger screening procedures at airports, according to the latest News Interest Index survey conducted Nov. 18-21 among 1,004 adults.
News about the economy topped the public’s news interest last week, though many Americans also closely tracked the fallout from the midterm elections and the debate over enhanced security measures at the nation’s airports.
Mothers rate 63% of their leisure activities “very meaningful,” while fathers give a similar rating to about 52% of their leisure activities.
The ATUS not only asks people how they spend their time but also how they feel while they’re engaged in particular activities.
Our analysis of this data shows that mothers find their leisure time to be more meaningful than do fathers.
Meanwhile, mothers feel more exhausted than fathers during their leisure time, and their stress level associated with leisure time is higher as well.
Fully 43% of those who are not likely to cast ballots Tuesday are Hispanic, African American or other racial and ethnic minorities, roughly double the percentage among likely voters (22%).
Roughly a third (34%) of nonvoters are younger than 30 and most (70%) are under 50; among likely voters, just 10% are younger than 30 and only 39% are under 50.
They’re more racially and ethnically diverse.
Nearly half of nonvoters (46%) have family incomes less than $30,000, compared with 19% of likely voters.
As in past elections, nonvoters 1 – those who are either not registered to vote or are considered unlikely to vote in the upcoming midterms – are very different demographically from likely voters:
They’re younger.
They’re less affluent and less educated.
Most nonvoters (54%) have not attended college; 72% of likely voters have completed at least some college.
Americans ages 65 and older are more likely than those ages 18 to 29 to say they know most of their neighbors (34% vs. 20%).
A majority of Americans (57%) say they know only some of their neighbors; far fewer (26%) say they know most of them.
In contrast, about a quarter (23%) of adults under 30 don’t know any of their neighbors, compared with just 4% among those 65 and older.
Just 17% of Catholic adults are under the age of 30, compared with 22% of U.S. adults, 35% of religious “nones” and 44% of U.S. Muslims.
The median age of Catholic adults in the U.S. is 49 years old – four years older than it was in 2007.
Catholics are significantly older than members of non-Christian faiths (40) and people who are not affiliated with any religion (36).
American Catholics are aging.
It takes 4 years for the revenue to rise back to a high/steady value.
The revenue stays pretty steady until 2008 where it drops and then rises gradually.
The revenue stays more or less the same apart from a dip in revenue around the years 2008-2009 which was when the financial crash happened.
Lowest revenue was 4.5 billion US dollars in 2009.
Greatest revenue was 6 billion US dollars in 2012.
The highest use was in the 11th year of these types of solar power.
The most electricity was generated in 2011The least electricity was generated in year 2001 All but three years produced more than 250000 million kwhNo years produced less than 200000 kwh Most years between 250000-300000 kwh were produced.
There seems to a trend of it increasing fro a few years and then decreasing again.
The maximum power generated was in 2011 and the minimum power was in 2001.
The power generated at the beginning of the chart, 2000, was approximately the same as at the end of the chart, 2019.
Just a year ago there was a 26-percentage-point partisan difference on economic conditions, with Democrats being far more bullish on the economy than Republicans.
This was the case throughout the Obama administration.
More than half (54%) of independents agree.
Roughly six-in-ten Republicans (61%) and Democrats (60%) say conditions are very or somewhat good, with sentiment among GOP supporters roughly doubling in the past year.
But the more positive public assessment of the economy these days has been driven by changing Republican attitudes.
Strikingly, there is currently no major partisan difference in public views of the economy.
Most of the companies received less than 400 million dollars.
The companies shown all received more than $200m in funding.
Bright Health received the most money at over 600 million dollars.
Bright Health received the most funding.
Food manufacture is a strong second and textile and textile producing mills are failing and show very low trends.
The largest value of shipments was in transport equipment manufacturing as oppose to leather and allied products manufacturing which does not chart.
That represents a 7-percentage-point decline from the 60% who reported this in 2015.
As more Americans are going cash-free, a growing share of the public is comfortable being without physical currency.
Today, 53% of Americans say they try to make sure they always have cash on hand just in case they need it.
Roughly four-in-ten who say they do not really worry about carrying cash (43%) say they don’t use cash for their typical weekly purchases, compared with 18% of Americans who report that they try to ensure that they always have cash.
Conversely, just under half (46%) of Americans “don’t really worry much about whether they have cash with them, since there are lots of other ways to pay for things.” That is an increase from 2015, when 39% reported this.
And it charged 10,712 people with property offenses such as fraud and embezzlement, a 39% decline.
It filed immigration charges against 20,762 defendants, down 26%.
Prosecutions for drug, immigration and property offenses – the three most common categories of crime charged by the federal government – all have declined over the past five years.
After peaking in 2011, the number of federal criminal prosecutions has declined for five consecutive years and is now at its lowest level in nearly two decades, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of new data from the federal court system.
That’s a decline of 25% since fiscal 2011, when 102,617 defendants were charged, and marks the lowest yearly total since 1997.
The Justice Department filed drug charges against 24,638 defendants in 2016, down 23% from 2011.
They exclude defendants whose cases were handled by magistrate judges.
The data count all defendants charged in U.S. district courts with felonies and serious misdemeanors, as well as some defendants charged with petty offenses.
The decline comes as Attorney General Jeff Sessions has indicated that the Justice Department will reverse the trend and ramp up criminal prosecutions in the years ahead.
Federal prosecutors filed criminal charges against 77,152 defendants in fiscal year 2016, according to the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts.
There has been a very slow and steady increase from the year 2009 to 2019, but I cannot even tell what is increasing because there is too little info given about what the numbers on the y-axis mean.
Majorities of Republicans across income categories say the law will have a mostly positive impact on the country in coming years.
A majority (62%) of Republicans and Republican leaners with incomes of $75,000 or more say the tax law will have a mostly positive impact on them and their families.
That compares with 50% of Republicans with incomes between $40,000 and $74,999 and 43% of those with incomes below $40,000.
Among Republicans, in particular, there are sizable income differences in expectations for the law’s personal impact.
Looking at the 16 measures analyzed, on 14 of those middle class Chileans differed from lower income Chileans by at least five percentage points.
The survey found interesting differences between the global middle class and others in all of the 13 countries in this study, but these gaps were especially consistent in a few places.
Differences were only slightly less common in Russia (13), Bulgaria (12), and South Africa (12).
Notable differences were particularly common in Chile, Russia, Bulgaria, and South Africa.
A majority of Americans (61%) said increasing economic sanctions is better than deepening ties with North Korea, the spring 2017 global survey found.
Republicans (70%) and older Americans (69%) were more likely to prefer sanctions than Democrats (61%) and younger people (49%).
On dealing with North Korea, Americans preferred sanctions, while opinion in Asia-Pacific differed by country.
Attitudes diverged among Asia-Pacific countries on how best to deal with North Korea’s nuclear program.
Half or more in Japan, South Korea and Australia backed stronger sanctions, while people in Vietnam and the Philippines leaned toward deepening ties with North Korea.
(However, many of those surveyed in Indonesia and Vietnam did not offer an opinion.)
The year with the lowest amount produced was 2007.
In all but two years there is 100 million litres or more biodiesel produced.
Since 2014 yearly production has been 300 million litres or above.
The year with the highest amount of biodiesel produced was 2016.
Overall production of biodiesel in Canada has increased between 2007 and 2019.
The overall trend is an increase in cherry production over time.
From the start of recording cherry production worldwide in 2000, the production has continued to increase every year.
In the year 2000, cherry production was slightly below 2.0 metric tons, in 2018 it was above 2.5 tons.
The sharpest increase in production happened between 2005-2010 and 2015-2018.
The largest annual increase in cherry production was between 2008 and 2009.
Cherry production has varied between about 1.7 and 2.6 million metric tons over the time period shown.
Favorable views of the Democratic Party are down slightly among Democrats (88% today, from 94% in October), but they are unchanged among Democratic leaners.
While overall ratings of the Democratic Party are unchanged since the fall, there have been shifts in views among subgroups over this period.
Democratic views of the GOP have also ticked more positive than in recent months, though just 20% of Democrats and 27% of Democratic leaners view the Republican Party favorably.
Republicans are about as favorable toward their party today (83%) as they were in October (82%), though ratings have improved 15 points since the spring.
The improvement in the Republican Party’s favorability rating is most pronounced among independents who lean toward the GOP.
In the wake of Trump’s victory, about seven-in-ten Republican leaners (72%) have a favorable opinion of the GOP, which is up 15 points since October and 29 points since April.
Both Republicans (up 8 points) and Republican leaners (up 9 points) are somewhat more likely to rate the Democratic Party favorably today than they were in October.
Public opinion about this issue has changed little in recent years.
About half of the public (46%) says the U.S. Supreme Court should make its rulings based on its understanding of what the Constitution “meant as it was originally written,” while an identical share says the court should base its rulings on what the Constitution “means in current times,” according to a survey conducted in October.
By comparison, mothers spent an average of about 14 hours a week on child care and 18 hours a week on housework in 2016.
And fathers put in about 10 hours a week on household chores in 2016, up from four hours in 1965.
In 2016, fathers reported spending an average of eight hours a week on child care – about triple the time they provided in 1965.
Dads are much more involved in child care than they were 50 years ago.
By contrast, just 48% of the general public says the same.
Also, two-thirds (66%) of Latinos say they expect their children to eventually enjoy a standard of living that is better than theirs is now.
Fully two-thirds (67%) of Latinos say they expect their financial situation to improve over the next year, compared with 58% of the general population who say the same.
Biden holds a substantial advantage: 30% of moderate and conservative Democrats favor Biden, while 15% back Sanders and smaller shares favor other candidates.
Among very liberal Democratic voters, Sanders (38%) and Warren (30%) outpace the other candidates.
Nearly identical shares of liberal Democrats name Biden (25%), Warren (23%) and Sanders (22%) as their first choice for the nomination.
Liberal Democrats (who constitute about a third of all Democratic voters) have distinctly different preferences for the party’s presidential nomination when compared with those who are very liberal.
The preferences of conservative and moderate Democrats are less divided.
Biden receives only about half as much support from very liberal Democrats (12%) as he does from liberals (25%).
Apart from an increase between 2006 and 2007, there has been a decline in the number of people jet skiing in the United States since 2007.
The rate of decline seems to be increasing.
Since 2007 the number of participants in jet skiing as decreased overall and hasn’t reached the peak number of participants (8 million) since then.
Much of the growth is occurring in a relatively small geographic area.
The Hispanic population grew to 53 million in 2012, a 50% increase since 2000 and nearly six times the population in 1970, according to the most recent U.S. Census Bureau data.
Half of these counties are located in California.
Meanwhile, the overall U.S. population increased by only 12% from 2000 to 2012.
A Pew Research Center analysis last year found that the 10 largest counties by Hispanic population accounted for 22% of the national Hispanic population growth between 2000 and 2011.
Hispanic population growth accounted for more than half of the country’s growth in this time period.
Once online, internet users in emerging and developing nations have embraced socializing as their most preferred type of digital activity.
Majorities of internet users in all countries surveyed with large enough sample sizes to analyze say they stay in touch with friends and family online.
Many also use cyberspace for getting information about politics, health care and government services.
Less common are commercial and career activities, such as searching or applying for a job, making or receiving payments, buying products and taking online classes.
The U.S.
Religious Landscape Survey, conducted by the Pew Research Center’s Forum on Religion & Public Life, shows that prayer is a common religious practice in America, with nearly six-in-ten adults in the U.S. saying they pray at least once a day.
The National Day of Prayer, established by Congress in 1952, occurs on May 7 this year.
However, frequency of prayer differs significantly by religious tradition, age, gender and income.
That is nearly identical to the 23% of less-frequently online teens who say they see their friends almost daily.
Overall, 24% of teens who report being constantly online say they meet with their friends in person outside of school every day or almost every day.
And when it comes to online interaction with their friends, 69% of teens who are online constantly say they talk to their friends online every day or almost every day, compared with 52% of teens who visit the internet less frequently.
Women are more likely than men to say that masks should always be worn in public places (53% vs. 42%).
About four-in-ten (42%) of those ages 18 to 29 say that masks should always be worn, compared with 55% of those 65 and older.
Age is also strongly related to views about mask wearing.
White people are substantially less likely than black and Hispanic adults to say that masks should always be worn.
Construction and retail fared the best out of the sectors represented on this chart.
Hotels, restaurants, tour operators and the Leather Industry fared the worse year on year.
Obama’s job rating among Republicans, extremely low last December (12%), has changed little since then.
Like Bush, Obama retains broad support among members of his own party, though the share of Democrats who give him a positive jobs rating has fallen 10 points over the past year (from 88% to 78%).
Since December 2012, Obama has lost the most ground among independents: Currently, only 32% of independents approve of his job performance while 61% disapprove.
Obama’s current rating among independents is only slightly higher than Bush’s in November 2005 (29% approved).
In December, 53% approved and 39% disapproved.
The number of covid deaths rose quickly in April, then plateaued, before a steep rise once again in Autumn.
In a multivariate analysis to see which factors matter most in predicting those who may or will not participate in the census, age is the most important predictor.
Education also is a factor in predicted census participation, even controlling for age and other demographic characteristics.
Even when controlling for other demographic characteristics, analysis finds that younger Americans are more likely to say they might not participate.
And after controlling for other demographic characteristics, income and home ownership, are not significantly related to intention to participate.
For those younger than age 30, the probability of likely non-participation is .18, compared with a probability of only .04 for those age 50 and older.
Gender, party and race and ethnicity are not significantly related to whether someone might not participate.
For those with a high school education or less, the probability of not participating is .11 whereas those with a college education have a probability of .05.
The birth rate had risen to 14.5 thousand births in 1990. it dipped again down to 10 thousand births in the year 2000.
It then dipped to 11.5 thousand births in 1980.
Between the years 1980 and 2000, we see an increase in the Birth rate per thousand population compared to all the other years provided by the data.
So it fluctuated quite a lot.
In 2010 it had slightly risen to 12.5 thousand births.
After 2010 it seemed to level and rise gradually.
The line chart area shows that in 1960 there was a birth rate in Sweden of 13 thousand births and levelled of at the same rate until 1970.
Excluding leaners, however, conservative Republicans’ share of the overall electorate has been more or less steady since 2004, according to Pew Research analysis of national exit poll data: About a fifth of voters identified as conservative Republicans in 2012.
(Liberal Democrats made up 16% of the electorate in 2012, continuing a modest but steady increase since 2000.)
The 2015 study also explored the attitudes and experiences of these adults, revealing the complexities of multiracial identity.
Similarly, among adults who selected only one race for themselves but had a multiracial family background, 29% said they once thought of themselves as being two or more races.
While 69% of Americans who reported more than one race for themselves in the 2015 survey said they always thought of themselves as two or more races, about three-in-ten (29%) said there was a time when they thought of themselves as only one race.
Here are five key findings from that report:
Racial identity can change over the course of one’s life.
In a 2015 study that used a broader definition of the term – one that took into account how adults described their own race as well as the racial background of their parents and grandparents – Pew Research Center estimated that 6.9% of the U.S. adult population could be considered multiracial.
Should all of President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet nominees eventually be confirmed, he will start his administration with one of the most heavily business-oriented Cabinets in U.S. history.
Only three other presidents are in the same range: William McKinley (three out eight Cabinet positions, or 37.5%), Ronald Reagan (four out of 13 positions, or 31%), and Dwight Eisenhower (three out of 10 positions, or 30%).
Five of the 15 people Trump has nominated to be Cabinet secretaries have spent all or nearly all their careers in the business world, with no significant public office or senior military service on their résumés.
Even accounting for the growth of the Cabinet over time, Trump would be in the top tier in terms of the percentage of career businesspeople as Cabinet secretaries.
That would be more businesspeople with no public-sector experience than have ever served in the Cabinet at any one time, according to a review and analysis by the Pew Research Center.
A third of the department heads in the Trump administration (33%) will be people whose prior experience has been entirely in the public sector.
That is far more than the percentages saying they have received email from a campaign or political group (16%), visited a candidate’s website (15%) or followed a candidate’s updates on Twitter or Facebook (6%).
While new technology allows campaigns and groups multiple ways to reach out to voters, campaign commercials have by far the widest reach.
Fully 72% of registered voters nationwide report having seen or heard campaign commercials related to the 2012 presidential campaign.
A large majority of tweets come from a small minority of users.
However, among the most prolific tweeters – defined as those in the top 10% in the number of tweets they send – the median user produces 138 tweets each month.
Most U.S adult Twitter users don’t tweet very often.
The median Twitter user produces two tweets per month, according to a 2019 study.
And that group of highly prolific tweeters dominates discourse on the platform more broadly: 80% of all tweets from American adults come from the top 10% of tweeters.
Other activities such as partying, drinking alcohol and listening to music are also popular.
Most popular is walking with 70 out of 100, followed by swimming and sunbathing, with reading a surprise as it equals sunbathing.
Partying is bottom of the list at 25 per 100.
The most popular beach vacation activities in 2014 are not surprisingly swimming sunbathing and walking, but other activities are very popular too.
For the first time in five years, energy now ranks slightly lower than the environment on the public’s list of priorities.
At the same time, the percentage saying that dealing with the nation’s energy problems should be a top priority has slipped from 52% to 45% since last year.
Far more Americans have a favorable opinion of their local government (67%) than of the federal government (35%).
Government and politics seen as working better locally than nationally.
That stands in contrast with views of the recent presidential candidates; just 41% say the quality of presidential candidates in recent elections has been good.
In addition, there is substantial satisfaction with the quality of candidates running for Congress and local elections in recent elections.
In the 8 years the average weight of babies has stayed around the same at just under 4000grams.
Average weight of newborn babies in iceland has remained very stable between 2010 and 2018 at around 3.7kg.
