| Welcome to Front Page,
where we break down Gallup's latest insights on our constantly evolving
world. Here are the five insights you shouldn't miss this week:

1. Confidence in American Institutions: Flatline
|
|
|
|
Every year, Gallup measures public confidence in several
public and societal institutions — like the military and Supreme Court,
TV news, and small business. The downward trend in the average

2. When the Mighty Fall |
|
|
|
In an era of low public trust, the military has been a rare
outlier in earning high confidence from a supermajority of Americans.
But that position is no more, as confidence in the military has slipped
below two-thirds in the past two years since the chaotic U.S. withdrawal
from Afghanistan.

3. POTUS vs. SCOTUS
|
|
|
|
President Joe Biden raised eyebrows when he declared this
Supreme Court as "not a normal court." It's rare to see the second
branch of government so explicitly call out the third. Here's what
public confidence in the Supreme Court has looked like over the past
decades. So far, the drop seen following the Dobbs opinion leak last year is enduring.

5. Is France OK?
|
|
|
|
Despite all the bad news on U.S. institutions, things are
worse in France. Acts of mass vandalism and violence unfolded in
reaction to the death of a teenager of Algerian descent at the hands of
police. When we ask the French themselves if their community is a good
place for immigrants to live, here's how the land of fraternity matches
up with a group of peer nations.
