I think we can pull this round

According to a poll the Vanderbilt Project on Unity and American Democracy published Thursday, 47 percent of 1,030 Americans surveyed said they have "a great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in higher education institutions, with a net positive rating of 33-up 13 percentage points since 2023. Survey respondents reported more confidence in higher education than in the police (44 percent), the medical system (38 percent) and large tech companies (25 percent).

Democrat Mikie Sherrill and Republican Jack Ciattarelli met Sunday night in the first of two debates in the closely watched New Jersey governor's race. The hour-and-half-long discussion often turned contentious as Sherrill tried to tie Ciattarelli to President Donald Trump in the minds of voters, and Ciattarelli in turn attempted to cast Sherrill as one of a long line of Democrats who he said had failed the state.

Mayor Eric Adams declared last Friday that he is staying in the New York City mayor's race because he is the only candidate who can defeat Democratic nominee and frontrunner Zohran Mamdani. I am running, and I'm going to beat Mamdani, and I'm going to continue the success that the city has witnessed, Adams said during the news conference at Gracie Mansion the mayoral residence amid reports that he had been moving closer to scoring a plum post in President Trump's administration.

WSJ obtained a summary of the poll that read, Our recent national survey of voters shows that there is broad unity across party lines supporting vaccines such as measles (MMR), shingles, tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (TDAP), and hepatitis B. The report concluded that the results were in line with what numerous other surveys have shown: A majority of the public, including both Democrats and Republicans, remain broadly supportive of requiring that children be vaccinated against preventable diseases to attend school.

Heather Humphreys, Catherine Connolly and Jim Gavin are virtually neck and neck among voters, while Bob Geldof leads wildcards on 7pc

If Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald ­enters the race, our poll suggests it would become an even tighter four-horse race, with Connolly ­suffering most damage - but it would still leave nearly a third of people in the undecided camp. These unenthusiastic voters hold the key to Áras an Uachtaráin and a wise candidate would be offering them something to latch on to.

A conservative group aligned with congressional GOP leadership has been distributing polling data to Hill Republicans that shows 25% of voters view inflation as the most important issue facing the country. That's more than double the percentage of the second-ranked concern - government corruption - according to the polling by the GOP firm GrayHouse. Senate Republicans also are being confronted with polling that indicates voters see the party as not focused enough on rising costs and the prospect of shortages of items such as drugs, groceries and toys. Party operatives have conducted focus groups in which voters express support for Trump's moves on foreign policy but want more efforts to counter inflation.

Here at Over The Monster, we ran into a bit of a "dark zone" with or ability to create polling during the website migration earlier this month. However, we did want to still run our quarterly approval polling before the calendar flips to September. So with that, let's check in with you, the Over The Monster community and gauge your opinion on how the Red Sox are doing across the organization.

Mace, who announced her gubernatorial bid on August 4 with anti- LGBTQ+ rhetoric and declared herself a "proud transphobe," had advertised that more than 100 people would attend a Moms for Liberty event at Forward Church on Thursday. But at the scheduled start time, rows of empty chairs greeted her. Only eight attendees were present, not including reporters and security, according to My Horry News.

PHILLIP: At today's visit illustrates a stark divide between the Trump administration and D.C. residents. As city crime stats show that violence is declining, Trump has said that those numbers are fake. And new polling also now shows roughly eight in ten oppose Trump's takeover. But Vance, like his boss, is not believing that data either. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) VANCE: I'm highly skeptical that a majority of D.C. residents don't want their city to be to have better public safety and more reasonable safety standards within Washington, D.C.

Several polling entities, such as Siena College or AARP New York and Gotham Polling& Analytics, have Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani leading the mayoral field. AARP's most recent numbers show Mamdani with about 41.8% voter support, followed by former Governor Andrew Cuomo with 23.4%, Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa at 16.5%, and incumbent Mayor Eric Adams trailing behind with 8.8%. The poll also reveals important shifts in candidate support across demographic groups.

Cuomo's endorsements page suggests Jewish support, but several groups clarify they only endorsed for the primary election and have not decided on November's race.

Cuomo plans to stay in the New York City mayoral race as an independent candidate while considering a pledge for independent challengers to drop out if polling is poor.

Hakeem Jeffries's lengthy remarks aimed at highlighting the adverse effects of Donald Trump's bill delayed Republican celebrations and drew attention to the critical issue of Medicaid cuts.

The path to governor seems well-paved for Vice President Harris if she decides to run. Although she lacks majority support at the moment, people know her better than the other candidates and generally view her favorably.

Buttigieg received the most support out of any potential candidate and garnered 16 per cent of the vote, even beating out Harris, who secured 13 per cent.

Polls are snapshots of fast-moving races, and dynamic multi-candidate contests often take shape late in a cycle, which is why many polls miss out.

The survey revealed surprising bipartisan opposition to U.S. military involvement in Iran, with 60% of all respondents and even 53% of Trump voters against it.

Governor Healey will be re-elected because she is focused on the issues that matter most to voters in Massachusetts, lowering the cost of living, building more housing, improving transportation and education, and standing up to Donald Trump.

I don't want to make things awkward for you, John, but it is our opinion that Fox News needs to fire its pollster, Miller shot back.
