Polls

Newsweek - California Governor Gavin Newsom has gained ground on Vice President JD Vance in a new hypothetical poll of the 2028 presidential race.  According to polling by Emerson College, if the two were pitted against each other in the next election cycle, 46 percent would support Vance while 45 percent would opt for Newsom.  While this shows Vance slightly in the lead, the 1 percent margin he leads by is smaller than in previous surveys by the pollsters.

 Newsweek -  President Donald Trump's approval rating has plummeted in North Carolina, a key swing state that he has won three times during his three presidential runs.

According to an Elon University Poll, Trump's net approval rating in the state is -11 percentage points. This is a five-point decline on the university's previous poll in April and also a decline on previous polling conducted earlier this year by a different pollsters

Fox News - Zohran Mamdani, maintaining a substantial lead in the New York City mayoral race as voters see him as best to handle the city’s top problems. He also receives positive personal reviews and has more supporters who are enthusiastic and committed to voting.

All that gives the self-described Democratic socialist a 21-point lead among New York City registered voters: 49% back Mamdani, while 28% go for independent candidate Andrew Cuomo and 13% favor the Republican nominee, Curtis Sliwa.
