Nearly eight-in-ten U.S. adults (78%) say there is some risk an innocent person will be put to death, and 63% say the death penalty does not deter people from committing serious crimes.

The share of adults who are “basically content” with the federal government has risen to the highest point since 2004, driven by Democrats.

Republican support for allowing undocumented immigrants to remain legally in the United States has declined.

About six-in-ten Americans (62%) say they favor raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour, including 40% who strongly back the idea.

Among Republicans, support has declined for allowing early or absentee voting without an excuse and for automatically registering all eligible citizens to vote.

While a few proposals continue to garner bipartisan support, partisan divisions on others – including a ban on assault-style weapons – have grown wider.

The share of Americans viewing illegal immigration as a ‘very big’ problem has increased.

Democrats are far more likely than Republicans to say prosecuting those who broke in on Jan. 6 is very important and that penalties for them will likely be less severe than they should be.

Just 9% of the public says it will be less than six months before most public activities operate about as they did before the outbreak.

A majority of Republicans say the GOP should not be accepting of Republican officials who openly criticize Donald Trump.
