Should be most of the vote in now for Kentucky's #SD35 (Harris+5) special election:

Gary Clemons (D)- 72.6%
Calvin Leach (R)- 25.1%
Wendy Higdon (Libertarian)- 2.3%

It's an over 40 point overperformance from 2024 for the Democrats!

Voters in New Jersey and Virginia who said the economy was their number 1 issue voted 63-35 for Democrats last night.

That’s a sharp reversal from 2024, when Trump won economy voters by 60 points

2025 Governor: D+68.8 13,304-2,402

The backlash to ABC/Disney canceling Kimmel has been swift, and severe. The whole episode underscores something I've been blogging about for a while: A lot of powerful people just don’t realize how unpopular Trump is

NEW: Voters disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy and increasingly blame him for inflation.

But voters are still more confident that Trump (39%) and the Republican Party (35%) have a solution for inflation than the Democratic Party (29%).

🗳️La gauche remporte les élections en Norvège. Les travaillistes gagnent du terrain, le FrP (droite radicale), enregistre également une forte poussée. Cependant, cette dynamique ne suffit pas à compenser l'effondrement du Parti conservateur, qui subit une lourde défaite.

Election Day in Norway 🇳🇴

The outcome will have consequences for Norwegian climate governance.

If the Progress party take part in a new government climate policy may be dismantled. If the Green Party+two small socialist parties gain influence on a Labour gov ambitions will increase. 1/n

📊 Le vote de confiance du gouvernement Bayrou n’est pas le seul événement politique de la journée...la Norvège vote aussi aujourd’hui pour ses élections législatives, et ça s’annonce bien plus serré et beaucoup plus palpitant à suivre.

🗳️ Grosse surprise en Iowa, la démocrate Catelin Drey remporte un siège au Sénat de l’État, pourtant solidement républicain, avec +11 points dans une circo que Trump avait gagnée de +11 l’année dernière.

Une performance démocrate qui laisse présager des midterms délicates pour le GOP.

HUGE FLIP: Democrat Catelin Drey wins deep-red state Senate seat in Iowa, breaking the GOP's supermajority.

Drey won by 11 points in a district Donald Trump carried by 11 points last year. It's another massive overperformance. The Iowa GOP should be very worried for the midterms.

Our full writeup:
Iowa Democrats win massive upset to break GOP supermajority
Catelin Drey's victory may portend more good news for Democrats next year

Here's Trump's approval rating by issue. This month, we added "Crime and public safety" to the battery. it's one of Trump's better issues, but he's still underwater (-3) on it with 48% of adults opposed. Trump remains unpopular on every issue except border security, including deportations and trade.
