Pew Research Center

From a purely self-interested point of view, business people should care about civic dysfunction if they want to protect their profits.

In a Pew Research Center survey conducted last year, 85% of Americans said they think politically motivated violence is rising.

a view Republicans and Democrats shared in almost identical proportions.

Trust in the federal government sits near its lowest level in the past seven decades, according to the same Pew survey.

The S&P 500 lost 38 points and the Nasdaq fell 272 points.

A new poll from the Pew Research Center finds that younger Americans are the least religious age group.

Just 27% of adults ages 23 to 26 say they attend services at least once or twice a month, down from 41% in adults aged 18 to 22, and 33% of all U.S. adults.

Meantime, as Michigan voters head to the polls on Election Day, faith may play a role in how some approach the ballot box.

According to a 2025 Pew Research Center survey, 25 percent of U.S. adults say religion shapes their voting decisions a great deal or quite a bit.

Michigander Carolyn Wells says that when deciding who and what to vote for, she seeks divine intervention to help guide her decisions.

when looking at recent election cycles We have seen a lot of polls fail when we now look at the Republican Party potentially losing the Catholic Hispanic vote What are you seeing regarding this?

Yeah In the latest Pew polling, we see kind of a polar opposite among white Catholics and Hispanic Catholics.

In October polling, Pew found that Hispanic Catholics favored congressional Democratic candidates by 59% to only, I think, 18% Republicans.

On the flip side for white Catholics, 50% said they favored Republican congressional candidates and only about 32 or 33% Democrats.

So I think the great gains that President Trump had made among Hispanic Catholics and Hispanics in general, we're probably gonna see dissipate tomorrow.

The data shows a real push to merge prayer and voting into one movement, but the numbers tell a different story.

Pew Research found that while about 70% of white evangelicals say prayer and voting are both important, only about 30% actually see them as connected in practice.

So there's this big gap between the rhetoric and the reality.

The movement's trying to blend them, but most folks still treat them as separate lanes in their lives.

In contrast, others would make their own versions of fraudsters like, well, I mean, if we're going to just start calling out people who are the accused, why not put up O'Donnie? Other critics noted that white America makes up a larger share of the Snapchat recipients than black Americans.

According to Pew Research Center, citing Census Bureau data, 37.4% of recipients of 2023 are non-Hispanic white, while only 28.7% were

black.

Do your homework.
