Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll - Fifty-six percent of Americans oppose Trump's decision to tear down the White House East Wing for his $400 million ballroom. Only 28 percent support it.  That's a 2-to-1 rejection — and it hasn't budged since October. Nearly three times as many people "strongly" oppose it as strongly support it. Sixty-one percent of independents are against it. 

Rural voters know that ultra-millionaires and the elite political class are out of touch with their day-to-day lives  - 84% of rural voters think that politicians just don’t understand how hard it is to make ends meet and support a family. 

Trump won more than nine out of every ten rural counties in 2024. He’s now sitting at 52% favorable, 46% unfavorable among rural voters in battleground states, and 49% of rural voters in the same territory say they feel worse about him since he was re-elected, including a quarter of Republicans. That is not a man cruising into the midterms. That is a man whose coalition is fraying at the edges, and the edges are exactly where we live.

Politico -  Sixty-one percent of U.S. adults said it was a mistake for the U.S. to use military force against Iran in a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll released Friday. Thirty-six percent viewed it as the right decision.
