Morning Consult tested voter awareness of 500+ news stories this year. Here are the ones with the biggest partisan gaps pro.morningconsult.com/analyst-report…

Regarding 1, it looks like some Americans feel the same way. Support for legal weed is down by almost double digits since 2020.

Trump is now underwater in 28 states, according to @MorningConsult latest 50-state approval data, comfortably his worst showing of 2025 so far but slightly superior to his standing at the same point in 2017, when he was underwater in 29 states.

60% of GOP voters support the Trump administration's plan to extend ACA subsidies, according to a new @MorningConsult survey. Just 18% oppose it.

@DougHeye Go Heels!

UNC/Kentucky @ Rupp. Both coaches wearing suits, not track suits. Respect.

The share of GOP voters who identify as MAGA has increased from 12% to 23%, while the share who identify as conservative has dropped from 48% to 38%.

Check out voter support for Trump's tariff exemptions on coffee, beef, etc. From @eyokley's @MorningConsult Politics email last week: links.morningconsult.com/s/vb/AwdC9_XUW…

Just 37% of Americans see the country headed in the right direction this month, per @MorningConsult data, down from an avg of 43% during the 2nd Trump presidency. That includes 69% of Republicans, down from 77% in June.

Some of my colleagues at Morning Consult recently reran their “state of workers” survey and the change in unemployed adults saying the job market is “bad” versus “good” is striking: in October the net difference was -41 pp, in February it was -19

@baseballot @VotebeatUS congratulations!

New job alert! Today I started as the new managing editor of @VotebeatUS, a nonprofit news site that covers election administration and voting rights issues.

Since last year, voters — regardless of partisanship — have become more likely to favor free-trade deals over tariffs, @MorningConsult surveys show. Read more from @eyokley here: pro.morningconsult.com/analysis/trump…

As @eyokley wrote in this morning's @MorningConsult Politics newsletter, it's hard to argue that the shutdown was hurting Ds more in the polls than it was hurting Rs.

The @MorningConsult survey we conducted over the weekend was the worst of the year for the GOP. 1. -10 net approval rating for Trump (lowest so far) 2. -12 net fav rating for Rs in Congress (lowest so far) 3. D+5 on generic ballot (highest so far) pro.morningconsult.com/trackers/donal…

Net favs for Republicans in Congress dipped to -10 over the weekend, the lowest we @MorningConsult have measured in 2025. Looks like a uniquely bad finding for them given that Trump's net approval rating of -5 was unchanged and right around his second-term average.

.@MorningConsult's daily ICS tracking pegs consumer confidence at its lowest point since mid-2024.

From today's @MorningConsult Politics email c/o @eyokley: Most Americans think most presidents in past 50 years have respected the rule of law. Less than half say the same is true of Trump.

Since 2021, the share of Republicans who say they find nine legacy media outlets at least somewhat credible has increased from 36% to 50%, narrowing the partisan gap in perceptions of news credibility to its smallest since 2016.

@StevenTDennis Beautifully written, Steve. I’m very sorry for your loss.

It hurts so much more than I thought it would. We lost my mother Carolyn Dennis about 5:40 pm yesterday. She died peacefully surrounded by family.

🚨 Inflation is up to 3% for the first time since January according to @MorningConsult's inflation nowcast. Read more here from @KaylaBruun pro.morningconsult.com/analysis/price…
