Although 2024 didn’t rate very high in most Americans’ estimation, a new poll suggests that a majority expect much better in 2025. Details on this from reporter Bernie Bennett.
VERBATIM: The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that just five percent (5%) of American Adults rate 2024 one of the best years ever. Eleven percent (11%) think it was an excellent year and 20% rate 2024 a good year. However, 34% of Americans give 2024 a poor rating. The 36% who rate 2024 at least a good year is slightly up from last year, when 34% said the same about 2023.

But the Pew Research Center has produced a more nuanced study, that separates out countries where Christians are likely to be persecuted not by officials, but by their neighbors who follow other faiths. The problem of what Pew calls “social hostility” in the Middle East, where most nations are predominantly Muslisms and Christians are an embattled minority. MH SRN NEWS.
