** United Nations gets mostly positive marks from people around the world ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
World leaders and representatives from 193 United Nations member states convened this week at the organization’s headquarters in New York for the 74th session of the General Assembly. Based on new data from Pew Research Center’s spring 2019 Global Attitudes Survey, ([link removed]) a median of 61% have a positive view of the UN, while a median of just 26% have a negative view. The survey of 34,904 respondents across 32 countries also finds that younger people across the globe are more likely to have a favorable view of the UN.

** Exploring the link between European political parties’ ideology and their popularity on Twitter ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Across 12 European countries, parties on the far left or right of the ideology scale aren’t more popular on Twitter than their more moderate counterparts. In this post ([link removed]) from our methods blogs, Decoded, we explain how we arrived at this preliminary finding and why expanding this kind of analysis beyond the U.S. is trickier than it sounds.

** U.S. concern about climate change is rising, but mainly among Democrats ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
The share of Americans calling global climate change a major threat to the well-being of the United States has grown from 40% in 2013 to 57% this year, Pew Research Center surveys have shown ([link removed]) .

** Key facts about refugees to the U.S. ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
The number of refugees admitted to the United States has dropped to historic lows during Donald Trump’s presidency, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of State Department data. ([link removed]) As a result, the U.S. is no longer the world’s top country for refugee admissions. It had previously led the world on this measure for decades, admitting more refugees each year than all other countries combined.
