  7. Fewer Americans follow the news closely now than in 2016 – Pew Research Center

    December 3, 2025

    Americans are following the news less closely than they used to

    The share of Americans who say they follow the news all or most of the time has decreased since 2016, according to nearly a decade’s worth of Pew Research Center surveys. This shift comes amid changes in the platforms people use for news and declining trust in news organizations. How we did this…

    As of August 2025, 36% of U.S. adults say they follow the news all or most of the time. That is down from 51% in 2016, the first time we asked this question.

    In turn, growing shares of Americans say they follow the news less closely:

    • 38% now say they follow it some of the time, up from 31% in 2016.
    • 18% say they follow it only now and then, compared with 12% in 2016.

    Meanwhile, the share who say they hardly ever follow the news has been relatively stable (7% in 2025, 5% in 2016).

    People in every age group are less likely now than in 2016 to say they follow the news all or most of the time. But older Americans remain more likely than younger adults to do so. 

    For example, 62% of adults 65 and older now say they follow the news all or most of the time. That’s down 13 percentage points since 2016.

    The decline is similar – 12 points – among adults under 30. However, this age group followed the news much less closely to begin with: 15% now say they follow the news all or most of the time, down from 27% in 2016.

    This decline in Americans’ attention to the news over the years has also occurred across other demographic groups, including education, gender, race, ethnicity and political party. But the drop has been steeper for some groups than others.

  9. Diesen #Spielemonat habe ich zum ersten Mal eine richtige Partie #BrassBirmingham gespielt. War ok, aber wird nicht mein Lieblingsspiel werden. Spiele, die kritiklos kapitalistische Ausbeutung feiern, machen mich immer weniger an. Kommt für mich direkt nach dem ganzen Harry Potter Quark 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Bei #TheIsofarianGuard nähern wir uns dem Ende der ersten Kampagne und ich bin gespannt auf die Helden der zweiten.

    #InnovationUltimate bleibt unangefochten mein All Time Favorite

    Hab es einem weiteren Freund vorstellen dürfen und er will es wieder spielen 😍

  10. Monthly U.S. Elections Summary: August 2025

    Monthly U.S. Elections Summary: August 2025

    Here is the August 2025 summary update on major U.S. news and political trends as the nation heads toward the November 2026 elections, with current charts for Trump’s approval and congressional control signals. This report is prepared monthly by Perplexity Pro especially for and edited by DrWeb’s Domain.

    Politics

    • The 2026 midterm elections will decide all House seats, over a third of Senate seats, dozens of governorships, and many local offices, making it a pivotal contest for both parties.
    • Democrats are currently leading in generic congressional ballot polling by 3–4 points, indicating an early advantage for potential House gains, while Senate forecasts favor notable Democratic advances due to Republican seat exposure in competitive states.

    Economy

    • Inflation remains voters’ top concern in late August 2025, with public mood sensitive to rising prices and economic performance, both likely to heavily influence campaign agendas in the coming months.

    Social Issues

    • Crime and immigration are high-profile topics for the electorate, matched by significant attention to global events such as conflict in Ukraine and the Middle East.
    • Persistent partisan and demographic divides are evident in polling, suggesting continued polarization on key issues and strategies targeted by both parties.

    Key Events

    • Special congressional elections and 2026 primary dates are in motion, with each new cycle update potentially affecting momentum and party margins going into next year.

    Charts

    Trump’s Approval Ratings (August 2025)

    • Trump’s approval: 44.1%
    • Trump’s disapproval: 52.4%
