Covid-19 pandemic has turned our familiar world upside down within a span of
few months. YouGov’s economic recovery tracker run between 7th May and 2nd
July reveals how the crisis has affected the nation’s finances. With the
economy gradually reopening, UAE residents are hopeful about their personal
monetary situation and a third (33%) think their finances will get better in
twelve months’ time while 23% expect them to remain in the same state. The
number who think they will get worse stands at 25%. (YouGov) July 22, 2020 3.1 Economy » Perceptions on Performance/

favor limiting their president to two terms in office and placing age
restrictions on presidential candidates, according to the most recent Afrobarometer survey. More than three-fourths of citizens
endorse presidential term limits, which have been enshrined in the
Constitution since 1992. While some African leaders have tried to get around
term limits in order to stay in office, Kenya has remained committed to this
democratic principle. (Afrobarometer) July 13, 2020 1.7 Domestic Politics » Legislation |

647-08 Why won’t Britons wear face masks? (Click for Details) (Spain)The
proportion of Britons wearing face masks during the coronavirus crisis has
remained stubbornly low, compared to other countries. This is despite the
fact that Britain has been one of the hardest-hit nations by the pandemic
(indeed, it could be the reason for it). It is vital to public health that we
understand why. So a new YouGov survey has asked Britons who have not been
donning face coverings their reasons for not doing so. Adapting the face mask
question we use as part of our coronavirus partnership with Imperial College,
the results showed that 37% of Britons hadn’t worn a face mask outside their
home in the preceding seven days. (YouGov) July 15,

to the federal judiciary since taking office in 2017. Trump has appointed two
Supreme Court justices – Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh – as well as nearly
200 other judges with lifetime appointments to lower federal courts. So how
does Trump compare with other presidents in the number and personal
characteristics of the judges he has appointed to the federal bench so far?
Below are four charts that compare Trump’s record on judicial appointments to
those of his recent White House predecessors, going back to Jimmy Carter. (PEW) July 15,

injustice to the 2020 election, some Americans who use social media are
taking to these platforms to mobilize others and show their support for
causes or issues. But experiences and attitudes related to political activities
on social media vary by race and ethnicity, age, and party, according to a
Pew Research Center survey of U.S. adults conducted June 16-22, 2020. People
can be politically active on social media in many ways. This survey asked
Americans about four different types of activities that they may have engaged
in on these platforms. (PEW) July 13,

Effect on Happiness (Click for Details) (USA) Are
people happier living in the countryside or in a city? The European
Commission and Gallup collaborated on a study to find out, analyzing the
opinions of 360,000 people across 117 countries and territories* based on
whether they live in a city, town and semi-dense area, or a rural area.
People were asked to rate their lives on a scale from 0 to 10, with 0 being
the worst possible life and 10 being the best possible life. On average, the
percentage of people in any given country who gave their lives a score
between 8 and 10 is two to four percentage points higher in cities than in
rural areas. The urban/rural gap is present regardless of country income
level. (Gallup USA) July 16,

whether belief in God is necessary to be moral vary by economic development,
education and age. What is the connection between belief in God and morality?
And how important are God and prayer in people’s lives? Pew Research Center
posed these questions to 38,426 people in 34 countries in 2019. Across the 34
countries, which span six continents, a median of 45% say it is necessary to
believe in God to be moral and have good values. But there are large regional
variations in answers to this question. (PEW) July 20, 2020 4.1 Society » Religion |

(450 MILLION OF INDIA'S
1380 MILLION LIVE IN URBAN INDIA) A new YouGov survey reveals
consumers’ intent to purchase from fast-food restaurants and lists measures
that would boost their confidence in dining out
The rest are likely to take longer, between
4-6 months (18%) or more than six months (18%) to head inside their favourite fast-food restaurant.
When asked which fast-food chains are they
most likely to order from once the country is completely unlocked, Dominos
emerged as the top choice (with 41% saying this), followed by Mc Donald’s
(34%), KFC (32%) and Pizza Hut (30%). We see a similar preference when it comes to
eating out in a fast-food chain once things go back to normal- Dominos is the
top choice (with 34% saying this), followed by McDonalds’s (32%) and KFC
(30%). YouGov BrandIndex
added another layer to the story with a deeper dive into Domino’s brand
metrics. Domino’s was the first few brands to start contactless delivery in
response to the pandemic. Since then the brand has invested heavily in
advertising trying to communicate about its safety practices and hygiene
standards. However, in mid-April the news of a Pizza
delivery agent testing positive in Delhi for the Coronavirus spread around,
leading to a negative perception of some of the popular fast-food chains,
including Domino’s. The brand’s Buzz score (whether one has heard something
positive/ negative about a brand in the past two weeks) declined by 4 points
from 23.2 in mid-April to 19.2 towards the end of the month, and further to
18.0 in May end. Domino’s continued its advertising efforts-
releasing advertisments in regional languages as
well, emphasising the safety precaution taken by
the delivery agents. In June, the brand came out with its latest
campaign #OrderKarnaSafeHai highlighting
the stringent safety norms adopted by the brand right from the kitchen to the
customer’s doorstep. It appears the brand finally seems to have
struck a chord with consumers as Ad Awareness sees a slight rise in June
after suffering a decline in the previous month. Around the same time
Domino’s Buzz score also started recovering through June. Even though Domino’s has managed to draw some
attention, these efforts have not translated into purchases yet.
Consideration (whether one would consider buying from a brand) for Domino’s
has declined in line with the increasing number of Coronavirus positive cases
in the country since May. However, Quality (whether a brand represents good/
poor quality) and Value score (whether a brand represents good value for
money) haven’t seen any dramatic changes amidst the pandemic. This suggests
the lack of intent to purchase from Domino’s is likely to be driven by the
fear among the masses of contracting the virus than their absence of trust in
the brand itself. The Omnibus data shows a similar view where
concern for safety is primary- the willing to purchase is there but only once
the country is completely unlocked and Coronavirus is less of a threat. YouGov also asked Indians what measures would
help them feel more comfortable dining-in at a fast-food restaurant and
nearly two in five (38%) said sanitization of tables and chairs in-between
customers would help. Other measures that would put patrons at ease include
free hand sanitizer or hand-washing station for customers before entering the
place (30%), as well as maintaining social distance while placing orders
(29%), and thermal screenings at the entrance (27%). More than a fifth would be at ease if restaurants
disinfected high touch areas (23%) and put a limit to the seating capacity
with adequate distance between two tables (23%). Restaurants may also want to consider
facemask polices, as close to one-fourth (22%) said requiring all customers
and staff to wear facemasks when not eating would help them feel more relaxed
dining-in. Contactless payments (21%),
contactless order through in-store kiosks (14%), glass barrier between
customers & staff at the order counter (12%) and removal of touch-screen
kiosks at stores (7%) were some other methods that can be adopted by
restaurants to make customers’ dining experience comfortable. (YouGov) July 20, 2020 Source:

CONTEXT: Trump condemns
private Texas border wall built by his supporters 'to make me look bad'. More
Americans favour increased immigration than ever
before: Gallup
The
number of Americans who want immigration to the country to increase has risen
form 27% last year to 34% according to a recently conducted poll by Gallup.
This is the first time that such a large number of people are in favour of increased immigration from the time the poll
was first started in 1965. The poll also found that for the first time the
number of people who want more immigration outnumber those who don’t. While
28% respondents favour decreased immigration, 36%
feel it should be maintained at current levels. The
poll was conducted between May 28-June 4, before the Donald Trump
administration temporarily suspended the H-1B and other non-immigrant visa programs
till the end of this year. It also preceeds the US
Supreme Court ruling which invalidated the administrations action to end the
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Act, which offers legal protection for
undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children. Nearly
8 in ten (77%) Americans believed that immigration is a good thing for their
country. There is less of a partisan divide, with supporters of both parties
expressing an overall more positive view of immigration. Only 19% said that
they thought immigration was a bad thing, the lowest percentage since the
question was first introduced in 2001. Immigration
has always been a focus area for the current government. Donald Trump, who is
up for re-election later this year, came to power on the back on a strong
anti-immigration stance. (The Economic Times) July
