President Joe Biden's latest 36% job approval rating is the lowest of his presidency.

For the first time in nearly two decades, a majority of Americans think immigration to the U.S. should be decreased.

Gallup data show U.S. marriage rates have declined since 1980, especially among Democrats compared with Republicans.

A steady 41% of U.S. adults, including a majority of Republicans but fewer Democrats and independents, say they are extremely proud to be American.

Incumbents' approval ratings usually rise among their party's supporters in reelection years. Among independents, the historical pattern is mixed.

Pro-choice voters are showing record-high intensity on the abortion issue, and the pro-choice segment of the public remains historically large.

Americans have become significantly more likely to identify as liberal in their views on social issues over the past 25 years. Liberal views on economic issues, too, have increased, but still lean conservative.

Joe Biden and Donald Trump tied in favorability among Americans when rated using a 10-point scale, just before Trump's felony conviction last week. In the 2016 and 2020 campaigns, Trump trailed the Democratic nominee on this measure.

Gallup's Economic Confidence Index registered -34 in May, reflecting further deterioration in how Americans assess the economy's current state as well as its trajectory.

President Joe Biden and Congress continue to earn relatively low job approval ratings from the public.

Americans downgraded their "social class" after the Great Recession, and that assessment still hasn't recovered.

Seven in 10 Americans say they have given a lot of thought to the election, on par with readings in 2008 and 2020 when voter turnout was high.

Americans continue to lack confidence in key leaders' ability to do the right thing for the economy.

Immigration remains the most important problem facing the U.S. for the third month running, and it is a uniquely polarizing issue.

Joe Biden's 38.7% average job approval rating during his 13th quarter in office is essentially unchanged from the previous quarter and is the lowest for any president's 13th quarter historically.

The 2024 election isn't sparking unusually high or low enthusiasm among the American public. Republicans hold a slight enthusiasm edge over Democrats.

Americans are less likely now than in 2020 to think Joe Biden possesses a number of positive personal qualities. He still rates far better than Donald Trump for likability, but much worse than Trump for strong leadership.

Roughly equal percentages of Americans say only Trump, only Biden or neither would make a good president. Independents are skeptical of both.

Biden's job approval rating is 40%, while ratings of his handling of the economy, foreign affairs and the Middle East situation are below his overall approval.

Majorities are dissatisfied with the United States' global position, think the U.S. is viewed unfavorably and believe world leaders do not respect Biden.
