While both prayer and scripture reading have decli

While both prayer and scripture reading have declined among Americans over the past decade, they remain central to many Americans’ religious practice.

Over four in ten Americans report reading a sacred text either at least once a week (25%) or monthly or yearly (18%); however, most Americans (56%) say they seldom or never read the Bible, Torah, Qur’an, or other sacred text.

Visit PRRI.org or the link in our bio to learn more about how frequently Americans are praying and reading religious texts outside of religious services across all 50 states.

In the past week, attacks on political expression

In the past week, attacks on political expression have intensified, with the cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show and Vice President JD Vance urging Americans to report to employers anyone who “publicly celebrated Kirk’s death.”

Following the 2024 election, PRRI asked voters whether they felt very confident that Americans will be able to freely express their political opinions, even if they differ from the incoming presidential administration. Responses varied significantly by party affiliation.

This survey of more than 4,700 voters was conducted online between November 8 - December 2, 2024.

In the weeks following the 2024 election, PRRI found that about four in ten American voters (42%) said they were very confident that democracy would remain strong over the next four years, but partisan differences were stark. Most Republican voters (79%) said they were very confident in the strength of our democracy, compared with roughly one-third of independent voters (35%), and just 5% of Democrats.

White voters remain the most confident in the strength of our democracy (47%), compared with about one-third of multiracial (35%), Hispanic (35%), and AAPI (32%) voters. Black voters (16%) are the least optimistic about the strength of our democracy in the next four years.

This survey of more than 4,700 voters was conducted online between November 8 - December 2, 2024.
