U.S. public's concerns

The events surrounding the US elections, the inauguration of President Joe Biden and of course the attack on capital in Washington have shown the world more than clearly how much of a divide there is in US society. The Pew Research Center regularly surveys the population to capture the mood of the country. Democrats and Republicans differ on the importance of many policy goals.
