Gallup Poll Finds Congress Approval at Historic Low as Disapproval Reaches Record High

A new Gallup poll (April 1–15, 2026; 1,001 adults; margin of error ±4) shows just 10% of Americans approve of Congress while 86% disapprove, matching a historic high in the poll’s 50+ year history. Disapproval is linked to ongoing shutdowns, the partial DHS shutdown, ethics investigations, and sexual misconduct allegations, with Republican approval around 20%. The live updates also note Democratic gains in Virginia redistricting led by Hakeem Jeffries, who vows “maximum warfare” against Republicans, signaling continued partisan battles ahead of midterm contests and related votes on immigration funding and surveillance programs.

Gallup finds uptick in monthly worship among young men

A Gallup poll finds more young men in the U.S. attend religious services at least monthly, narrowing the gender gap and signaling pockets of rising religiosity even as overall U.S. religiosity remains historically low; Pew Research Center findings, by contrast, suggest less movement among young adults, underscoring divergent views on the nation’s religious landscape.

Record-High 45% of Americans Identify as Independents, Reshaping U.S. Politics

Gallup's 2025 poll shows a record 45% of U.S. adults identify as independents, with Democrats and Republicans at 27% each; among independents, 20% lean Democratic, 15% lean Republican, and 10% non-leaners, yielding a 47% Dem-leaning vs 42% Republican-leaning average when leaners are included. Conservative identification (35%) still edges liberal (28%), but the gap is the smallest since 1992 and moderates are 33%. The rise in independents is driven by younger generations—Gen Z (56%) and millennials—reshaping the political landscape, while overall party favorability remains weak for both parties.

"Rising Popularity of Injectable Weight Loss Drugs"

"Rising Popularity of Injectable Weight Loss Drugs"

An estimated 15.5 million U.S. adults have used injectable diabetes medications like Ozempic and Wegovy for weight loss, with 6% of Americans having tried them and 3% currently using them. The drugs, approved by the FDA for weight loss in 2021, are reported to be effective by nearly two-thirds of users, though effectiveness is perceived to be lower among older adults. The popularity of these medications has led to shortages and high costs, with a month's supply costing around $1,000 without insurance.

"Sleep Deprivation: A Major Concern for Americans, Gallup Poll Reveals"

"Sleep Deprivation: A Major Concern for Americans, Gallup Poll Reveals"

A new Gallup poll reveals that only 26% of Americans report getting at least eight hours of sleep, with 57% saying they would feel better with more sleep. The poll also shows a shift in the last decade towards more Americans feeling they would benefit from more sleep, particularly among younger women. Reasons for the lack of sleep are not entirely clear, but cultural emphasis on productivity and the impact of the pandemic may play a role. Some individuals, like self-employed event planner Justine Broughal, struggle to prioritize sleep due to competing demands. Additionally, post-COVID life has seen the emergence of "revenge bedtime procrastination," where people delay sleep to handle stress.

"Declining Interest: Fewer Americans Consider Buying Electric Vehicles Despite Climate Change Push"

"Declining Interest: Fewer Americans Consider Buying Electric Vehicles Despite Climate Change Push"

A Gallup poll revealed that the percentage of Americans considering purchasing an electric vehicle (EV) has decreased from 55% to 44%, with just 9% seriously considering it. The data showed income, age, and political ideology disparities in EV consideration. This comes as President Biden aims for 50% of U.S. car sales to be electric by 2030, with the administration finalizing aggressive tailpipe emissions regulations. Oil producers and petroleum refiners criticized the regulations, arguing they would make gas-powered vehicles unavailable or prohibitively expensive. Despite the pushback, EV sales have been increasing, especially in California, which has finalized an aggressive EV mandate.

"Growing Disapproval: Majority of Americans Oppose Israel's Actions in Gaza"

"Growing Disapproval: Majority of Americans Oppose Israel's Actions in Gaza"

A recent Gallup poll revealed that a majority of Americans disapprove of Israel's military actions in Gaza, marking a significant shift from previous approval ratings. The survey also indicated a decline in pro-Israel sentiment among both Democrats and Republicans. Tensions between the Biden administration and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have escalated, with the US allowing a UN Security Council resolution for an "immediate" cease-fire in Gaza and Israeli officials publicly criticizing the move. Negotiations for the release of hostages in Gaza have faced obstacles, and the poll reflects a growing disapproval of the handling of the Middle East conflict by the Biden administration.

"Growing Majority of Americans Oppose Israeli Action in Gaza Amid Strained Biden-Israel Relations"

A recent Gallup poll shows a decline in American approval of Israel's actions in Gaza, with 55% disapproving and 36% approving. The poll was conducted before the United Nations Security Council passed a resolution calling for a cease-fire. Political division over approval remains clear, with Republicans overwhelmingly approving and Democrats mostly disapproving. President Biden's handling of the situation also received low approval ratings, with 16% from Republicans and 47% from Democrats. The poll suggests a significant drop in support for Israel among Democratic voters, with some critics arguing that Biden has been too closely aligned with Israel.

"Poll: Majority of Americans Disapprove of Israel's Actions in Gaza"

A Gallup survey shows that American disapproval of Israel's military action in Gaza has increased to 55%, while approval has dropped to 36%. The majority of U.S. adults are closely following the situation, with Democrats and independents showing decreased support for Israel's actions. President Biden's handling of the conflict receives low approval ratings, particularly among Democrats, but his overall job approval remains steady. The issue does not rank highly as a critical threat to U.S. vital interests, but it could impact voter turnout among Biden supporters who are upset with his handling of the situation.
