About one-in-four voters are still persuadable.
A majority of Chinese (53%) believe they will someday become the leading superpower.
A majority of journalists at national media outlets (62%) say that journalism is heading in the wrong direction.
That’s the number of currently employed Americans who don’t expect they will ever make enough money to have the kind of life they want.
Among the 47 countries in the latest Pew Global Attitudes Survey, nearly equal numbers named the United States as a top ally (19) as named it as the biggest threat (17).
That’s the portion of Gen Next Americans (ages 18-25) who say they are both going to school and working either part-time or full-time.
That’s the portion of U.S. homeowners who expect the value of their home to go up “a lot” in the future. But another 55% still expect their home values to rise at least “a little.”
That’s the number of Americans who now rate the quality of the life they expect to be leading five years from now higher than their current quality of life. As recently as 2002, more than six-in-ten (61%) Americans said their future would be better than their present.
That’s the number of Americans who say they think Democratic leaders will be successful in getting their programs passed into law — about the same level of confidence that Americans voiced about GOP legislative prospects in December 1994.
Nearly half of U.S. workers expect they will switch careers sometime in the future. Young workers and part-time workers are more likely to say they are very or somewhat likely to change careers.
