On February 12, 2025, an RCMP Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter touched down at the Lansdowne port of entry. Recent polling data reveals that Canadians view relations with the U.S. as negatively as those with Russia. This coincides with a demonstrated willingness among Canadians to strengthen ties with both China and, more significantly, Mexico.
New polling data from Harvard reveals a decline in President Trump’s support among young men, attributed to his economic policies. Bloomberg News’ David Gura and Tim Miller of the Bulwark Podcast joined Nicolle Wallace to analyze these findings. The discussion focused on the impact of the President’s economic performance on this key demographic. This shift in support highlights a potential vulnerability for the President’s reelection campaign.
Recent polling data reveals a significant increase in the favorability ratings of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez among New York Republicans, rising from 6% in 2019 to 21% in 2025. This surge in popularity coincides with her nationwide “Fighting Oligarchy” tour, attracting large crowds across both traditionally Republican and Democratic states. Ocasio-Cortez’s current favorability rating surpasses that of other prominent New York politicians, including Governor Kathy Hochul and Senator Chuck Schumer. This increased bipartisan appeal positions her as a potential contender in the 2028 Democratic presidential primary.
Recent polling data contradicts Elon Musk’s claim that paid protesters are solely responsible for Tesla’s financial downturn and his declining popularity. These polls indicate significant public disapproval of Musk’s actions, specifically his rhetoric regarding the U.S. government and public employees. The data suggests a widespread negative public perception that extends beyond the reach of any organized protest campaign. This public sentiment may be a more significant factor in Tesla’s struggles than Musk’s assertion implies.
A new Economist/YouGov poll reveals President Trump’s approval rating among Hispanic Americans has plummeted to 34 percent, its lowest point since January. This represents a significant drop from last week’s 45 percent approval. The concurrent CNN poll shows a decline in his economic approval rating nationally, with 56 percent disapproving of his handling of the economy. These figures contrast with Trump’s own public pronouncements of higher approval ratings.
Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi repeatedly emphasized President Trump’s electoral victory margin during her confirmation hearing, highlighting both the popular and electoral vote totals. This highlights Republican efforts to portray Trump as immensely popular, despite his historically low approval ratings and narrow victory margin. This strategy contrasts sharply with Trump’s actual unpopularity, which remains consistently low across multiple polls. Democrats should resist being intimidated by this tactic and instead leverage Trump’s weaknesses to effectively counter his agenda.
A new poll conducted by Morning Call/Muhlenberg College shows Vice President Kamala Harris slightly ahead of former President Donald Trump in the crucial battleground state of Pennsylvania, two days before Election Day. Harris leads with a 49% to 47% margin, within the poll’s margin of error. Pennsylvania, with 19 electoral votes, could decisively sway the election. Other polls depict an extremely tight race in the state, with some aggregators placing Trump slightly ahead. Both campaigns have stationed strong presences in the state.
Support for former President Donald Trump amongst Black voters has lowered days before the election, according to an NBC News poll. The data shows that Trump is only earning 9% of Black voter support, dropping from the 12% support he received during the 2020 presidential election. Contrastingly, Vice Presidential nominee Kamala Harris is leading amongst Black voters with 87% support. This follows efforts by both candidates to attract Black voters, as even small shifts in support can have significant effects in close races in key states. Although Trump has made overall gains in Black voter support during his presidential runs, recent polls indicate this support is decreasing.
