Nearly two-thirds of U.S. adults (64%) say protecting the environment should be a top priority for the president and Congress, while about half (52%) say the same about dealing with global climate change, according to a January 2020 survey.
Compared with a decade ago, more Americans say protecting the environment and dealing with global climate change should be top priorities for the president and Congress.
These shares have grown considerably since 2011.
In a 2012 survey 81% of parents said they were “very” or “somewhat” concerned about how much information advertisers can learn about their child’s online behavior.
When asked about the information that advertisers can gather about their child’s online behavior, parents’ concern levels rival and sometimes even exceed worries about their child’s interaction with people they do not know online.
By comparison, the combined levels of parental concern regarding their children’s interactions with people they do not know amounts to 72% of all parents.
Nearly nine-in-ten backers of both Trump (89%) and Biden (87%) say they have at least some close friends who support their candidate for president.
Supporters of Donald Trump and Joe Biden are divided not just in their views of the two presidential candidates and in their broader political beliefs and values.
Most voters instead report having a lot of friends who share their political preferences.
Around six-in-ten Trump supporters (59%) say they have a lot of friends who share their support for the president’s reelection bid, while a slightly smaller share of Biden supporters (48%) say a lot of their close friends also back the former vice president in the election this fall.
They are also largely divided in their personal relationships: Roughly four-in-ten registered voters in both camps say that they do not have a single close friend who supports the other major party candidate, and fewer than a quarter say they have more than a few friends who do, according to a Pew Research Center survey conducted in July and August.
• Newsroom salaries fell in 2012.
Overall, television news salaries fell about 2%, the same percentage they gained in 2011.
News writers and news assistants enjoyed the biggest gains—16% and 13% respectively—from 2011.
Salaries of news and sports anchors remained the same.
Top news managers lost ground.
News directors’ salaries were down 2.3%, assistant news directors’ salaries were down 6.7% and executive producers’ dropped 9.1%.
The graph shows the expected population of Russia dipping up to and beyond the year 2035, at a level consistently under 150,000.
The graph shows that a slight decrease is predicted in the population of Russia over the next 13 years.
Less often than a year ago, Mexicans say their government is making progress in its campaign against drug traffickers; 37% say this is the case, compared with 47% in 2012.
An additional 29% now say the government is losing ground against the cartels, and 30% see no change in the way things are going.
However, there is little enthusiasm for the deployment of U.S. troops to Mexico to fight drug traffickers; just 34% of Mexicans would welcome this approach, while 59% would oppose it.
As in the past, Mexicans overwhelmingly support the use of the Mexican army to fight drug traffickers; 85% are in favor of this approach.
There is also support for some cooperation from the U.S. in the fight against Mexican drug cartels.
About three-quarters (74%) would welcome U.S. assistance in training Mexican police and military personnel.
A majority (55%) would also approve of the U.S. providing money and weapons to the country’s police and military, although this position has lost some support in recent years; 61% backed this form of U.S. assistance in 2012 and 64% did so in 2011.
The value of “services” remains relatively similar throughout the decade.
However, there is a small spike in 2009, though this drops in 2010.
Only 36% of Americans believe they have little control over their fate, compared with 50% in Spain, 57% in France and 72% in Germany; Britain is the only Western European country surveyed where fewer than half (41%) share this view.
Asked if they agree that “success in life is pretty much determined by forces outside our control,” Americans again offer more individualistic views than those expressed by Western Europeans.
Among Democrats, deficit reduction declined from 67% in 2013 to 49% in 2014, before recovering slightly this year.
Meanwhile, the percentage of Americans who say that reducing the budget deficit should be a top priority for the president and Congress rose 19 points between 2009 and 2013, but has fallen eight points over the past two years.
But the share of Republicans who say that reducing the deficit should be a top priority has fallen 12 points (from 84%) since 2013.
That remains the case today, with 72% of Republicans and 55% of Democrats rating deficit reduction as a top policy priority.
Pew Research Center surveys have found that, historically, the party holding the White House tends to place less importance on reducing the deficit compared with the party out of power.
About a third of accounts less than a decade old had fewer than 10 categories listed on the ad preferences page, whereas only 18% of accounts over a decade old had fewer than 10 categories listed.
That survey found that roughly nine-in-ten U.S. adults who use Facebook reported that they had information compiled about them on their Facebook ad preferences page.
The longer a person has had an account on the platform, the more categories Facebook lists for them.
In a Pew Research Center survey conducted Sept. 4-Oct. 1, 2018, Facebook users were directed to open and review their own ad preference page in order to complete the survey.
But a new analysis of this data finds that how Facebook categorizes these users, when it comes to the number of categories and their accuracy, varies by how often someone uses the platform.
When accounting for how often they use the site, some 44% of Facebook users who said they use the site several times a day reported finding 21 or more categories listed on the ad preferences page, compared with 34% of those who use the site once a day and 20% of those who said they use the site less often.
In comparison, 36% of accounts 5 to 10 years old and 27% of accounts less than 5 years old had more than 20 categories listed.
Frequent Facebook use – as well as having an account for a longer period of time – generally results in more ad categories.
Nearly four-in-ten Facebook users (37%) who saw categories listed on their ad preferences page found 21 or more categories, whereas 30% found one to nine categories.
About half of users with Facebook accounts that were more than a decade old (52%) at the time of the survey reported finding 21 or more categories listed on their ad preferences page.
There are also differences when it comes to how long a user has been on Facebook.
Among South Africans, around a quarter each say the U.S. (27%) and China (22%) are the best examples of an advanced economy.
An additional 4% say Japan, South Africa or Tanzania are the best examples.
But among people in these three African nations, there are differences in the share of respondents who choose each power.
When asked which country besides their own is the best example of a developed economy, people in Kenya, South Africa and Nigeria overwhelmingly point to the United States and China, the world’s two largest economies.
In Kenya, 36% say the U.S. is the best example of a developed country, while only 15% choose China.
An additional 5% name Germany as a top example, with 4% naming the United Kingdom, Australia, Botswana or “Europe.”
In Nigeria, 28% name China as the best example of a developed economy and a quarter cite the U.S. Another 4% say Saudi Arabia.
Revenue ranges from between 50 and 150.
Revenue is mostly increasing over time.
Revenue decreases slightly in 2009-2010 and 2012-2013.
Liberia’s amount of 0-14 year olds is less than it was ten years ago.
I am unable to pull any trends from this chart without speculating.
The trend is decreasing over time but not age.
This chart is very difficult to understand.
The linear scale decreases from 2010 to 2018.
The countries surveyed with the highest confidence in Trump are both in the Asia-Pacific region, and ratings in these countries are still very low.
Roughly one-quarter of people in Australia and Japan believe the president will do the right thing in international affairs.
Just one-in-five or fewer in Canada and Western Europe trust the president to do what is right.
In Belgium, Denmark, Germany and France, roughly one-in-ten have confidence in Trump.
As the U.S. presidential election approaches, very few polled in Canada, Europe or the Asia-Pacific have confidence in Donald Trump to do the right thing regarding international affairs.
Across the 13 countries surveyed, a median of 16% have confidence in the American president.
The unemployment rate decreased from 0.07 in 1999 to 0.04 in 2008.
After 2008, it increased steadily to 0.10 in 2012.
After 2012, it steadily decreased to below 0.04 in 2020.
Previous news quizzes also have shown that the public is not knowledgeable about the Supreme Court and its members
Nearly as many (74%) know that the Federal Reserve is primarily responsible for monetary policy and not tax, trade or energy policy.
Other questions are more challenging.
The most difficult question on the quiz asks respondents to identify the trend in the stock market since 2008 from four charts.
A substantial majority of Americans (77%) are able to correctly identify Edward Snowden from a photograph of the former government contractor who leaked classified information about the NSA.
Just (21%) correctly select the chart showing a steep drop in the Dow from 2008 to 2009, followed by a gradual and steady recovery.
Another question presents the pictures and names of four Supreme Court justices and asks respondents to identify the justice who has most often been the court’s swing vote in recent years; just 28% select the picture of Justice Anthony Kennedy.
While the rules for administering the tax or fee vary from country to country, each nation generally assesses a portion of the income (or taxes paid) of taxpayers who are members of the country’s larger churches.
While most registered Christians – and, in some countries, members of other religious groups – must pay the tax, people have the option of avoiding the tax by deregistering from their church.
The money collected usually pays for church expenses, including clergy salaries, maintaining buildings and funding church charities.
Sizable majorities of adults in all six countries with a mandatory tax say they pay it.
Even though most Western Europeans are not very religious, and those who live in countries with a church tax can opt out of paying it, support for the tradition remains strong in the region, according to a new Pew Research Center report, based on a 2017 survey of 15 countries.
The study examines public attitudes toward church taxes by comparing the views of Western Europeans who say they pay such taxes with those who have opted out.
Eight-in-ten Danes and roughly three-quarters of Austrians (76%) and Swiss (74%) say they pay the tax.
In each country, a small share of adults – ranging from 8% in Switzerland to 20% in Finland – say they used to pay the tax but no longer do so.
They are Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Sweden and Switzerland.
Six of 15 surveyed Western European countries have a mandatory church tax for members of religious groups.
Among Democrats and Democratic leaners, Trump’s approval rating is down 6 points over this period of time (from 12% in March to 6% today).
The recent decline in Trump’s job approval can be seen across most demographic and political groups.
For instance, Republicans and Republican leaners are now 7 percentage points less likely to say they approve of Trump than in March (78%, vs. 85% then).
The partisan gap in ratings of Trump remains as wide or wider than those seen for other previous U.S. presidents in the polling era.
Overall, the median household income in Arkansas increased between 1990 and 2019.
55000 dollars in 2019.
However the overall increase, the median household income in Arkansas decreased between or remained stable between some years and others.
The median value went from slightly more than 20000 dollars in 1990 to ca.
No player has less than 5000 points.
The average of the data appears to be around 7500.
Dwayne Wade is an outlier with approximately 2-3 times more points than the other players.
The rest are evenly split, with 29% saying the U.S. will have more influence and less influence, respectively.
Many Americans say the outbreak will have no impact on their country’s international standing.
The largest share of Americans (41%) expect U.S. influence in world affairs to be about the same after the coronavirus outbreak compared to beforehand.
But the perception that communities recycle “most types of items” obscures the markedly different rates at which various types of waste actually are recycled or composted.
According to the EPA report, 40.4% of the 3.1 million tons of consumer electronics that entered the wastestream in 2013 were recycled, up from 30.6% in 2012.
On the other hand, only 28.2% of high-density polyethylene containers (such as milk jugs) were recycled, as were 13.5% of plastic bags and wraps and only 6.2% of small appliances.
One category of solid waste that’s grown rapidly, in both quantity generated and amount recycled, is consumer electronics – TVs, computer equipment, phones, DVD players and the like.
According to our analysis of the EPA data, 99% of lead-acid batteries (the sort found in cars and trucks), 88.5% of corrugated cardboard boxes, and 67% of newspapers, directories and the like were recycled as of 2013.
Three-fifths (60.2%) of yard trimmings were composted, but just 5% of food waste was.
2018 had the lowest distribution of the workforce across economic sectors in agriculture.
There has been a steady decline since 2013.
The highest year for distribution of the workforce across economic sectors in agriculture appears to be either 2010 or 2013, they are extremely close.
Sophie Marceau was the most popular actress in France in 2019.
There were 10french actresses names in all on the chart.
She was approximately five times more popular than the least popular actresses, Juliette Binoche and Lea Seydoux.
Marion Cottillard was the next highest with 0.24.
The chart shows that about 0.35 of the respondents ranks Sophie Marceau the top French actress.
The second most popular actress was Marion Cortillard who narrowly beat Catherine Frot in third place.
Third was Catherine Frot with 0.22 closely followed in 4th by Vaginie Efira with 0.18.
The year with the highest expenditure was 2009 (just over 25 dollars per capita) and the year with the lowest expenditure was 2002 (around 23 dollars per capita).
The expenditure has remained relatively static across the years represented on the chart (2002-2013).
According to Federal Reserve data, 15% of Gen X’s homeowners were “underwater” on their homes in 2010 (meaning they owed more than they owned).
This improvement is due to lenders foreclosing on homeowners as well as appreciating home values and mortgage modifications.
By 2016 only 3% were underwater.
Still, reducing the ranks of homeowners with negative equity in their homes boosts wealth.
The typical home equity level of Gen X homeowners has doubled since 2010, though this was not achieved without considerable borrower distress.
First, they are the only generation to have recovered the home equity they lost in the downturn.
Among younger Gen Xers (ages 35 t0 42), 68% identify with Gen X; among older Gen Xers, fewer (48%) see themselves as part of this generation, while 24% identify as Boomers.
But just 40% of those in this cohort consider themselves Millennials, while as many as a third (33%) say they belong to Gen X.
Among older Millennials (ages 27 to 34), 43% consider themselves Gen Xers, while 35% identify as Millennials.
Yet even among younger Millennials (ages 18 to 26), fewer than half (45%) consider themselves part of this generation.
Most adults (58%) born between 1965 and 1980, the birth years of Gen X, identify with “their” generation.
Notably, relatively few Gen Xers (just 4%) identify as Millennials, but 15% consider themselves Boomers.
The Millennial generation also encompasses a broad span of adults (currently those born from 1981 to 1997).
The sharing economy and on-demand services are starting to weave their way into the lives of Americans.
Those with lower incomes and who live in rural areas are less exposed.
College graduates, those with relatively high household incomes and those younger than 45 are most exposed to these services.
About seven-in-ten Americans (72%) have used some type of online or shared service, such as the ride-hailing service Uber or the home-sharing service Airbnb.
The output amount increased from roughly 9 million barrels per day in 2008 to over 11 million barrels per day in 2018.
The Line Graph indicates that the Refinery Capacity from OPEC increased over a 10 year period between 2008 to 2018 due to the need for Oil.
Gate receipts fell sharply between 2010-2014.
Receipts hit a low of around $75 million per year.
They remained around the $100 million mark between 2016 to 2018.
They recovered to over $100 million by 2016.
The increase has been consistent year on year  other than a slight decrease  in 2012.
Since 2010 to 2019 sales in Canada for vegetables have fruits have risen by 0.5 million.
Youth unemployment in Estonia reached Peaked in 2010 but then fell significantly by 2015.
The birth rate has fallen consistently from 2008 to 2018.
The birth rate in Zambia has been dropping steadily since 2008.
More than half (54%) say that Canada should remain about as close to the U.S. as it has been in recent years, with another 27% saying Canada should be even closer and only 16% saying they should be less close.
As Canadians head to the polls for a historically close federal election, a new survey finds that people in Canada are generally satisfied with their country’s current relationship with the United States.
The public appears ready for a truce in the long-running war on drugs.
Just 26% think the government’s focus should be on prosecuting users of such hard drugs.
A national survey by the Pew Research Center finds that 67% of Americans say that the government should focus more on providing treatment for those who use illegal drugs such as heroin and cocaine.
The number of deaths in Yukon have risen between 2001 and 2020.
The highest number of deaths was in 2019-2020 with approximately 250 deaths.
However, with same-sex marriage legal in 36 states (and the District of Columbia) and the possibility of a Supreme Court decision on its nationwide status, Republicans (72%) are just as likely as Democrats (72%) and independents (74%) to say that it is “inevitable” that same-sex marriage will be legally recognized.
Growing shares of all three groups support same-sex marriage, yet the differences between Democrats and Republicans are as wide today as they were a decade ago.
The Pew Research Center survey, conducted May 12-18 among 2,002 adults, finds that partisans are as divided on this issue as ever: Today, 65% of Democrats and an identical percentage of independents favor gay marriage; only about one third (34%) of Republicans do so.
More than half in all six nations surveyed said American aid was having a beneficial effect on their country.
Through the Millennium Challenge Corporation, the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and other programs, the U.S. provides assistance to many African nations, and the 2013 Pew Research poll found a widespread belief that U.S. economic aid is having a positive impact.
Outside of sub-Saharan Africa, U.S. assistance is not always viewed so positively: The same question was asked in Egypt and Pakistan, where only 24% and 8%, respectively, saw American aid in a favorable light.
Excluding the 20 special elections held concurrently with regular elections, turnout in the House special elections we examined was, on average, about half that of the previous general election in the same district.
The most extreme case occurred in November 2008, when a special election was held to fill the remaining weeks in Democratic Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones’ term representing Ohio’s 11th District.
States sometimes will schedule a special election for the same day as the regular election, partly to save on the expense of holding a separate election and partly to give the winner a bit of a seniority boost (because they can take their seats immediately, rather than waiting till January for the new Congress to convene).
By and large, House special elections are low-turnout events.
In three instances, in fact, more people voted in the special election than in the concurrent general.
Democrat Marcia Fudge had already won the regular election for the incoming Congress two weeks earlier, when nearly 250,000 voters cast ballots; Fudge was unopposed in the separate special election, and just 8,844 people voted (8,597 of them for Fudge).
In such cases special election turnout is much higher, relatively speaking: In the 20 cases of concurrent special and general elections that we analyzed, turnout in the special elections averaged just 4.2% below the concurrent general elections.
(In only five of the non-concurrent special elections did turnout exceed the previous general election, which in each case featured a longtime incumbent who seldom if ever faced serious opposition).
There was also a substantial age gap in these views: Just 45% of adults younger than 30 said the quality of congressional candidates in their district’s last several elections was good.
Younger people also tended to offer more negative evaluations of past candidate pools for other levels of office.
By contrast, more than six-in-ten of those in older age groups said this, including about three-quarters of those 65 and older (77%).
(The age gap is partly the result of younger people being less likely to identify as partisans, but a gap remains even when that is taken into account.)
More than four-in-ten in Greece, Nigeria, Russia, Lebanon and Argentina also think men in their country have more opportunities when it comes to getting high-paying jobs, but similar shares think opportunities are generally the same for men and women.
Majorities or pluralities in 22 of the 34 countries surveyed say men generally have more opportunities for high-paying jobs than women, including about two-thirds or more in Sweden, France, Japan, South Korea, Israel, Spain, the UK, Australia and Canada.
Half of Americans think the U.S. should hold China responsible for the role it played in the outbreak of the coronavirus, even if it means worsening economic relations, while 38% think the U.S. should prioritize strong U.S.-China relations, even if it means overlooking any role China played in the outbreak.
Older people, too, are especially likely to lay the blame on China.
(The 8% of adults who say the Chinese government’s initial handling of the virus is not at all to blame for the global spread of the virus were not asked this foll0w-up question, while 5% expressed no opinion, either to the first or second question.)
Around three-quarters of Americans say the Chinese government’s initial handling of the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan contributed either a great deal (51%) or a fair amount (27%) to the global spread of the virus.
Republicans are particularly critical: 73% believe China’s early handling of the pandemic contributed a great deal to its spread, compared with 38% of Democrats who say the same.
Republicans and those who lean toward the GOP are about twice as likely (71%) as Democrats and Democratic leaners (37%) to say the U.S. should hold China responsible even at the expense of worse economic relations.
