Chart showing in many countries, people see their fellow citizens as morally good.

Chart showing in many countries, people see their fellow citizens as morally good.

We asked people around the world to rate the morality and ethics of others in their country.

The U.S. is the only place we surveyed where more adults describe the morality and ethics of others living in the country as bad than good. See our full morality report here: www.pewresearch.org/...

Seen in the bad place: Marco Rubio:

The SAVE Act is a dangerous move to keep Black and Brown voters, women, and LGBTQ+ people from the ballot box. Trump and MAGA Republicans know they have no solutions to the issues that Americans are angry about, so they plan to meddle with the 2026 election. I will vote NO.

Senate Democrats push for Trump tariff rebates Democrats are also vowing to block an extension of new global tariffs later this year.

Took no time for Trump to strap the rest of us back onto the Tariff rollercoaster: higher prices for everyone in the meantime.

Still, he owes you a refund for his illegal tariffs, and Republicans in Congress can help us put an end to these tariffs any day.
