A Reuters/Ipsos poll found that 57% of Americans fear democracy is in danger, with majorities in both parties saying partisan redistricting efforts in states like Texas and California are “bad for democracy,” as Republicans push to redraw maps ahead of the 2026 midterms.
Any time I see a post from someone that says they’re not having a good mental health day or something bad has happened, I’m torn. I want to acknowledge that they’re being heard and I hope they do better, but my deep rooted fear of interactions keeps me from actually writing a message. Also, sometimes you just don’t have the time. Hitting the like button seems like sending the wrong message, like “Glad you’re going through this!” Is it just me? What do you think? #Poll #Polls
None other than Don Jr had some very strong feelings about the new logo.
What do we think: has he ever EATEN at a Cracker Barrel?
Really important question for English language speakers:
How do you pronounce “grocery”?
Do you drink Rooibos #tea?
"A new Reuters poll finds Trump’s approval rating down to a new low of 40 percent. That’s fueled partly by Russia-Ukraine: A striking 54 percent of Americans say Trump is too aligned with Putin."

Did you know I built Polls into Stories when I originally released the feature 4 years ago, but at the last minute I decided against enabling Poll support because it wasn't polished enough?

U.S. Sen. John Cornyn is closing the gap with his main rival in the March 2026 Republican primary, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, according to a new poll from Texas Southern University’s Barbara Jordan Public Policy Research and Survey Center.
Commenting on results of a YouGov poll out today, Mike Madrid says,
"These are the worst numbers that Trump has posted in either the first and or the second term. The economy is getting worse. Flaming on foreign policy. He's starting to lose on his domestic agenda….
This guy's numbers are very, very low."

Marc Elias comments:
"It’s clear: as Trump’s policies become increasingly unpopular and his quest for an authoritarian regime becomes even more obvious, the culture is shifting left.
The GOP can feel the temperature in the room changing. That’s why they’re redistricting and trying to suppress votes."

"The bluster and blather will come. The Truths, the troops, the spectacles, the damage, the lies and the never ending bullshit. But this thing ain’t going as they planned and its getting harder and harder to spread all that lipstick and orange bronzer on the Trumpian pig."

"He had his worst poll of his 2nd term this week, coming in at 38% approve, 60% disapprove, a staggering level of rejection and disapproval. What John Bolton was implying with his 'tired' comment [re: Trump with Putin] was that Trump was looking not just tired, but defeated."
