With Congressional Republicans on the verge of passing the largest tax reform bill in decades on Wednesday, overall Congressional approval remains low (21%). Self-identified Democrats are particularly disapproving of Congress giving the institution a 16% approval rating. Rank and file Republicans are a little more positive, but even they only give Congress a 30% approval score.
Echoing Congress, President Trump's approval rating also remains near its record low level, this week at 35%. However, Republicans continue to back the President in large numbers, currently at 76% approve.
The broad antipathy to Congress and the President is potentially fueling Democratic disgruntlement to the tune of a 12-percentage point advantage on the 2018 generic Congressional ballot question. Currently, 39% of Americans would vote for a Democrat versus 27% voting for a Republican if the midterms were held today.
Healthcare (17%), terrorism (15%), and the economy (11%) remain the top three issues facing the US today, with party lines continuing to dictate priorities. Nearly a quarter of Democrats (22%) believe healthcare is the most important problem facing the US, while a similar percentage of Republicans (23%) count terrorism as the most important.

Generation Gap? Political and Economic Sentiment Across Three GenerationsRommell Montenegro
Millennials, born between 1980 and 2004, are now the largest and most diverse segment of the U.S. population. Not surprisingly, there has been a surge of recent research attempting to understand how this generation thinks, works and shops. One area that has received relatively little attention is differences in political and economic sentiment across the three largest generation groups.
Are Millennials more optimistic about the economy? Who cares the most about immigration policy? Which age group is the best target for messages about healthcare? As the US recovers from a recession and looks towards the next presidential election, it becomes critical to understand these market trends.

“A Voice for Young Syrian Refugees,” a supplementary survey carried out alongside the 9th annual ASDA’A Burson-Marsteller Arab Youth Survey 2017 is focused on the hopes, concerns and aspirations of young Syrian refugees living as refugees in Jordan and Lebanon.
For the survey, the international polling company PSB Research conducted 400 face-to-face interviews of young Syrian refugees aged 18-24 years, split equally between men and women, who are living in refugee settlements in Jordan and Lebanon.
The full Arab Youth Survey 2017 consists of 3,500 face-to-face interviews with Arab men and women aged 18 to 24. Fieldwork was conducted from February 7 and March 7, 2017. The survey is the largest of its kind of the region’s largest demographic, and covers the six Gulf Cooperation Council states (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE), North Africa (Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, and Tunisia), the Levant (Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and the Palestinian Territories) and Yemen. The Survey has not included Syria since 2011, due to the civil unrest in the country.
“ One of the essential questions facing sports organisations today is how to grow in an increasingly competitive and globalized market place while, at the same time, staying true to their roots and core values.” Burson-Marsteller, a leading strategic communications and public relations firm, has teamed up with international tour organiser Match IQ to get to the heart of this issue. We invited some of the thought leaders in the industry to give their expert insights on how best to engage with audiences abroad.
The “Making it in America: The View from America” survey developed by Burson-Marsteller and conducted by research firm PSB sheds light on Americans’ sentiments about the current state of the economy, as well as their feelings about the future.
From June 1-5, 2017, PSB conducted 1500 interviews with a General Population Survey*. The margin of error for the total sample is +/- 2.53% and larger for subgroups. The data was weighted to be nationally representative.
This survey builds off the June 2017 Executive Survey* by McKinsey & Company, which surveyed 259 U.S. Business Leaders representing the full range of regions, industries, company sizes, functional specialties, and tenures.
*Please note that within the survey findings, the terminology “Americans” and “American Population” refers to the General Population Survey and “Business Leaders” refers to the Executive Survey.
Each year in March, China’s leaders meet at the Lianghui, or “Two Sessions,” in Beijing to discuss policies and progress, review the government work plan and approve the national budget for the coming year. This year’s sessions were significant as the final meetings before the upcoming leadership transitions – which have even greater significance for China’s ongoing reform. There was an emphasis on stability, continuity and a gradual adjustment of the growth model. In what may be his final work report, Premier Li Keqiang pledged to deepen reforms, restructure the economy and improve people’s well-being. This was again largely in line with the themes set out in the Third Plenum of the 18th Communist Party Congress in 2013. The significance of the upcoming leadership transition was highlighted by the focus of commentators on the potential meaning of remarks by the Premier at the conclusion of his annual work report: “See you again, if there’s a chance.” In the document below, Burson-Marsteller’s analysts examine the outcomes of this year’s Two Sessions, and outline considerations for global companies in China in the current period of transformation.
