This is awesome stuff by the DNC digital team:

I've written before about how Dems might be a little concerned that they weren't beating the GOP on some key issues, despite Trump's unpopularity. cnn.com/2026/02/25/pol… But winning on the economy would obviously be a big -- and rare -- thing for them.

This is a remarkable shift. People in *every single one* of the top US-allied countries now believe it’s better to depend on China than on the US. The global balance of power is clearly tilting away from the US and toward China.

Days after Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán was ousted by an opposition campaign with an anti-corruption message, Democrats want to try the same playbook against President Donald Trump before the midterm elections. to.pbs.org/4mDgHjU

Half of U.S. adults who haven’t volunteered for causes they care about — but say they would like to — point to two main barriers: not knowing how to get involved (54%) and not being asked (51%). Explore more findings in the full Gallup and @KetteringFdn report: on.gallup.com/4s2zoi4

Trump's war of choice in Iran is a blow to American soft power, that is, our global favorability.
