Polls

Independent UK -    President Donald Trump’s approval rating has dropped one percentage point, to 40 percent, the lowest yet of his second presidential term, according to a fresh poll.

Newsweek -  The 33-year-old self-described democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani leads a five-candidate New York City mayoral race by double digits and amasses more than 50 percent of the vote regardless of his opponent, according to a new poll.

 Gallup - Americans have grown markedly more positive toward immigration over the past year, with the share wanting immigration reduced dropping from 55% in 2024 to 30% today. A record-high 79% of U.S. adults say immigration is a good thing for the country. These shifts reverse a four-year trend of rising concern about immigration that began in 2021 and reflect changes among all major party groups.

The Guardian -  US liberals have become so disgusted with Tesla since Elon Musk’s rightward turn that they are now not only far less likely to purchase the car brand but also less willing to buy any type of electric car, new research has found.

The popularity of Tesla among liberal-minded Americans has plummeted since Musk, Tesla’s chief executive and the world’s richest person, allied himself with Donald Trump and helped propel the president to election victory last year.

While liberals reported mostly positive intentions around buying an electric car in August 2023, their overall support for EVs eroded in the wake of a collapse in their opinion of Teslas, according to the new study, which polled Americans on an array of environmental actions. 

MSNBC -   “Democrats Get Lowest Rating From Voters in 35 Years” began the headline from the Wall Street Journal. “The new survey finds that 63% of voters hold an unfavorable view of the Democratic Party,” the Journal reports, “the highest share in Journal polls dating to 1990 and 30 percentage points higher than the 33% who hold a favorable view.” 

The Journal poll is far from the first survey to show the party’s brand in the dumps. In an NBC News poll from March, just 27% of voters had a positive opinion about the Democratic Party — its “lowest positive rating in NBC News polling dating back to 1990.” A CNN poll earlier this month put the party’s favorability at 28%, the lowest since 1992.
