** For a lot of American teens, religion is a regular part of the public school day ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

About four-in-ten U.S. public school teens say they commonly see other students praying before school sports events, and roughly half see other students wearing religious clothing or jewelry. At the same time, majorities of teens say they rarely observe other types of religious behavior in their schools ([link removed]) , and most say they rarely or never discuss religion with their friends.

** Americans are wary of the role social media sites play in delivering the news ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

Most U.S. adults say social media companies have too much control ([link removed]) over the news on their sites and that their role in delivering what people see results in a worse mix of news for users. Yet social media is now a part of the news diet of an increasingly large share of Americans.

** The number of people in the average U.S. household is going up for the first time in over 160 years ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

Over the course of the nation’s history, there has been a slow but steady decrease in the size of the average U.S. household – from 5.79 people per household in 1790 to 2.58 in 2010. But this decade will likely be the first ([link removed]) since the 1850s to break this long-running trend.

** Clinton’s impeachment barely dented his public support, and it turned off many Americans ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

The House’s impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump’s interactions with the president of Ukraine comes more than two decades after the impeachment crisis that engulfed then-President Bill Clinton. The circumstances were very different back then, and so was U.S. public opinion ([link removed]) about the push for impeachment.

** U.S. public expresses favorable views of a number of federal agencies ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

Despite historically low levels of trust in the federal government, Americans continue to have overwhelmingly favorable views of a number of federal agencies ([link removed]) , including the Postal Service, the National Park Service and NASA. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is the sole agency viewed more negatively than positively.

** People around the globe are divided in their opinions of China ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

Negative views of China predominate in the U.S., Canada and Western Europe, according to our latest global survey. China also receives unfavorable marks ([link removed]) from many neighbors in the Asia-Pacific region. And while majorities in most nations agree China’s global influence has grown, this has not necessarily translated into favorable views of the country.
