Our 2023 Post-Ipsos poll found pay level was far and away the most important to workers. The poll didn't included an option for "work-life balance," but ability to work from home/remotely and amount of vacation ranked far back, esp when forced to choose www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

I'm beginning to think this firm wants me to think workers care about work-life balance as much as pay. Images of 2025, 2024 and 2023 reports

A Fox News poll this week found Obamacare is more popular than Trump, either party and congressional leaders. Only 3 points below Fox's all-time high for the law reached in 2023 static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/...

How polls fared in four 2025 elections compared with recent prez and midterm years (overestimating Democrats=blue, overestimating Republicans=red). More detail in today's Early Brief www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Groceries prices really break through in terms of perceptions: 71% say they're spending more on groceries than last yr, including 52% of Republicans. A 59% majority say they're paying more for utilities. Grocery prices are up 3%, utilities up 11.7% www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

As costs rise again, most Americans fault Trump, Post-ABC-Ipsos poll finds. Story by @abha-b.bsky.social @abtran.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

By 63%-21%, Americans oppose the Justice Dept. paying Trump $230 million as compensation for federal investigations into his conduct, as he requested in 2023/204. Among Republicans, 48% support/31% oppose/21% are not sure www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

How are voters' split on midterms despite broad Trump disapproval? Those disapprovers are not united behind Democrats, particularly soft Trump disapprovers www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Who cares about the East Wing demolition? From our new Post-ABC-Ipsos poll www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The other big reason? Trump. 57% of Virginia registered voters disapprove of him, and 89% of those voters support Spanberger for governor. Jones gets 77% of Trump disapprovers, is also underperforming among moderates and independents www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
October 23, 2025 at 4:24 PM
That is one reason Spanberger's lead in the governor race has held steady despite Jones's text scandal (and Hashmi in the LG race). Worth noting a good-quality poll from VCU this week showed a narrower seven-point advantage for Spanberger, ticking down from nine points before
October 23, 2025 at 4:22 PM
54% of Virginia voters approve/41% disapprove of Democratic governor candidate Abigail Spanberger's response to Jones's texts, calling them "abhorrent" but not calling on him to drop out www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
October 23, 2025 at 4:20 PM
In one sign Jones might fall further in the final two weeks, 24% have no opinion of him, but those who do lean unfavorable by 15 percentage points (45-30). Miyares is in positive territory, 38-32, with even more (29%) having no opinion
October 23, 2025 at 4:17 PM
Jones's support has dropped from 51%->46% since the National Review broke the story, now tied with Republican Jason Miyares, who inched up just one point (error margin +/- 3.5). 5% now say they'll support neither candidate, up from 1% before www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
October 23, 2025 at 4:14 PM
Our new poll with GMU's Schar School asked Virginia voters about Jay Jones's texts musing about shooting Republican speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates. After hearing one text 51% say Jones should drop out, including 26% of Democrats www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

In one big shift, 31% of American Jews now say The Democratic Party is "unfriendly" towards U.S. Jews, tripling from 10% five years ago. Almost no difference today in views of Dems, Reps or Trump on this question www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

U.S. Jews perceive a similar level of antisemitism as in 2020 Pew survey -- 47% say there is "a lot" -- but growing numbers say they avoid wearing things that might identify them as Jewish www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...
October 15, 2025 at 6:36 PM
Trump made gains among Jewish voters in 2024, but 71% of Jewish adults disapproved of him as of early September, with hardly any gains/losses from Trump/Harris voters last year. Unclear how Gaza cease-fire may shift these views www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

One notable finding from the Post-KFF poll - 75% of parents who support the MAHA movement keep their children up to date with vaccines, even as the group is more likely to skip or delay vaccines than non-MAHA parents www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
October 15, 2025 at 12:42 PM
Pediatricians are the only source of vaccine information trusted by clear majorities of parents across partisan groups, according to a Washington Post-KFF poll. They now play an essential role in combating rising vaccine skepticism in the United States www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
