More than four years into the war between Russia and Ukraine, our new survey finds that Republicans and Democrats continue to hold differing opinions about the conflict.

Republicans are more likely than Democrats to say the U.S. is providing too much support to Ukraine and to have confidence in President Trump’s decision-making about the war.

Saving the planet? 🌍 Or just saving money?💰

Many Americans do eco-conscious things every day, like turning off lights, limiting water use and driving, or buying secondhand clothes or goods. But when asked why they do these things, more said it's to help their wallet than to help the environment.

Do you do any of these things? What’s your reason why? Let us know in the comments. 💬

A growing share of Americans say they mostly get news because they happen to come across it rather than seek it out.

Americans are more likely to find certain types of news, such as funny posts or opinion content, by chance and actively look for other types, such as deep dives or up to date information.

4/20, the unofficial ma*****na holiday, rolls around every April 20.

Few Americans see ma*****na use as morally wrong. But step outside the U.S., and the picture looks very different.

In fact, America is one of the least morally opposed countries to ma*****na, according to our most recent survey of 25 countries.

Do you think using ma*****na is morally wrong? Let us know in the comments!

Teens say social media is mostly about fun and connection, but experiences aren’t identical across platforms. 📱

⏱️ TikTok stands out for “too much time” and for teen users reporting negative impacts on sleep/productivity.

💬 Snapchat stands out for heavy messaging and helping friendships – and higher reported harassment experiences than Instagram or TikTok.

How religious do you think President Donald Trump is?

We asked Americans this question just before Trump criticized Pope Leo XIV and posted an image on social media depicting himself as a Jesus-like figure. Our surveys regularly ask about the religiousness of the current president.

The newest data shows that a growing share of Americans say Trump is “not too” or “not at all” religious.

The American family has witnessed substantial changes since the 1970s.

Americans marry and have children at later ages than they once did, and fewer Americans are doing these things at all.

Living arrangements have also shifted over this period: A smaller share of children live with two married parents, and a greater share of the population lives in multigenerational households.

The landscape of local news in the United States has changed significantly as Americans have been turning away from print and television and toward digital media.

Attention to local news has declined since 2016, mirroring these trends. In 2025, 21% of Americans say they follow local news very closely, down from 37% in 2016.
