Ahead of the UN Climate Change Conference in Belém, Brazil, our newly released survey finds that most people in 9 middle-income countries say global climate change is affecting the area where they live. A median of 56% of adults in these countries also say they are very concerned that global climate change will harm them personally in their lifetime. When it comes to mitigation, most people in these countries say they are willing to make at least some adjustments to the way they live and work to reduce the effects of climate change. And most have at least some confidence in the international community to address this issue. https://pewrsr.ch/4oksDHb

What we know about ‘DINKs’ in the U.S. 👥 👇 📈 #DINKs – dual income, no kids – have grown slightly in the last decade. In 2013, 8% of married couples in their 30s and 40s were DINKs. In 2023, that figure grew to 12%. Overall, DINKs are more likely than dual-income couples with kids to be college graduates and work full time. 🎓🗓️ So, when it comes to financial outcomes, why do DINKS tend to have higher household incomes but less #wealth than dual-income couples with kids? 🤔⬇️ 🏠 One important reason is that DINKs are less likely to own a home – the primary source of wealth for many Americans. Some 71% of DINKs own a home, compared with 79% of dual-income couples with kids. And among homeowners, DINKs have less home equity than dual-income couples with kids ($165,000 vs. $222,000 as of 2023). 🎂 Age also plays a role when it comes to wealth. Overall, DINKs are younger than their counterparts with children, and people tend to accumulate more wealth as they age. Full analysis here: https://pewrsr.ch/3JzBe9Q

🔴 Americans agree with the Republican Party more than the Democratic Party on policy issues related to immigration and crime. 🔵 Conversely, more Americans agree with the Democratic Party on policies that deal with race in the country, health care policy, abortion policy, and environmental and climate policy. ➡️ While the balance of Americans agreeing with each party is largely similar to 2023, the year before the last midterm elections, there have been a few notable shifts: 🔴 Crime - The Republican Party’s advantage has grown from 10 points in 2023 to 17 percentage points today. ⚪️ Policies related to LGBT people - Today, neither party holds a clear advantage on this issue. The percentage agreeing with the Democratic Party is the same today as it was two years ago (37%). What’s changed? More Americans say they agree with the GOP and less say they do not agree with either party than did in 2023. ️⚪️ Policies to deal with the economy - In 2023, the Republican Party had a wide (12-point) advantage over the Democratic Party on economic policy. Today, that advantage has all but disappeared. 🔴 On the budget deficit, the Republican Party has a slight advantage. Today, 33% agree with the GOP on this issue, while 29% agree with the Democratic Party. About four-in-ten (37%) do not agree with either party. Dive deeper: https://pewrsr.ch/4og0Jft

Nine-in-ten U.S. adults say they at least sometimes come across news they think is inaccurate, including 42% who say this happens extremely often or often. Meanwhile, Americans are split over how easy it is to distinguish truth from fiction. About half (51%) say they generally find it difficult to determine what’s true and what’s not when they get news, while a similar share (49%) find it easy.

With the 2026 midterm elections a year away, neither the Republican nor Democratic Party is widely seen as having good ideas. And both are viewed by majorities as too extreme and not governing honestly and ethically. https://pewrsr.ch/4og0Jft

With TikTok back in the news, let's look back at how views of banning of the platform changed over time - especially for Republicans. In 2023, 6 in 10 Republican support the U.S. govenerment banning TikTok, two years later that number had dropped to 39%. Still, Republicans were more likely to be in favor of this than Democrats.
