Satisfaction with the way democracy is working didn't change much from last year in most of our surveyed countries.
But there were 4 exceptions: In South Korea and Japan, satisfaction skyrocketed after a year full of political change. In the U.S. and Australia, views worsened.

In the U.S., the decrease was driven by Republicans. In 2025, 60% of Republicans were satisfied with the way democracy was working in the U.S. Today, 48% are satisfied.

In a March survey, we asked Americans how likely they are to follow the World Cup.
Just 28% said they are at least somewhat likely to watch. Only 14% said they are very or extremely likely to follow the games.

"Polls give the public a voice in politics, business and other areas... If we stop polling people and just assume AI knows the answer, we risk misunderstanding what’s actually happening in the public."

Two new posts from us at @pewresearch today (links in replies).
First, higher income countries tend to be less likely to say their political system needs big changes. But the U.S. is an exception.
This post shows how the U.S. both does and does not stand out on this measure.

Majorities in both parties agree that Iran is not doing enough to avoid civilian casualties.
But Democrats are three times more likely than Republicans to say the U.S. is not doing enough to avoid civilian casualties.

Republicans are more likely than Democrats to say U.S. military action against Iran will make the Iranian people better off.
But within the GOP, there are big age divides. Republicans 65 and older are about twice as likely as those under 30 to say Iranians will be better off.

New from @pewresearch:
About a third of Americans have confidence in Trump to make good decisions when it comes to policy toward Iran.
That number has declined since he was a candidate for president in 2024, including by 18 points among Republicans.

Really excited to see our article examining trends in public confidence in scientists over the last five decades in print.
Check it out here and let me know your thoughts:
In the past, Republicans had more trust in scientists than Democrats. This is no longer the case.
In POQ, Schulam et al. identify demographic changes in political parties as a source of polarized trust in the scientific community.

An extremely fun post from Pew today: Our graphics team's favorite data visualizations of 2025!
Including my personal favorite, a 'beeswarm plot' showing the partisan divide over trust in different news sources, with each dot representing a news source.

In a new article out today in @NatureHumBehav, we find that members of demographic groups with lower trust in scientists increase their trust when presented with scientists who look like them. Not just on gender and race, but also rurality and class.
