  1. Anyone shocked has never met a Jew...

    "The #survey found that 67 percent of #Jewish #voters plan to back a #Democratic #Congressional #candidate in the November #elections; 26% plan to vote #Republican, and the remainder were undecided.

    The #publicopinion research company #GBAOStrategies carried out the #poll on behalf of the nonprofit #JewishVotersResourceCenter.

    The poll also found broad disapproval of the #Trump administration. Three-quarters of Jewish voters disapprove of #US #President #DonaldTrump’s performance as president and 82% have an unfavorable view of #VicePresident #JDVance.

    The survey found that #Jews’ top priorities were #costofliving and affordability at 37%; the future of #democracy, 36%; #antisemitism, 25%; #healthcare, 18%; and #Israel, 16%.

    A vast majority — 89% — said they were concerned about antisemitism in the US, and 71% said they were emotionally attached to Israel.

    Respondents also reported disapproval of the #Netanyahu coalition..."

  7. _Voter suppression_

    “The process of being denied their right to vote was such a negative experience that they would not reengage with the voting process at future elections. Many reported being extremely upset, embarrassed, humiliated or angry when they couldn’t vote, to a much greater degree than one might expect, given most people view voting as a relatively mundane activity.”

    The academics recommend introducing “attestation” or “vouching”, where voters with permitted ID can attest to another voter’s identity at the polling station, allowing them to still cast a ballot when an official declaration is signed in the polling station.

  12. At GOP #convention yesterday, POTUS #bribes potential #voters with a $5K handout. Not that he keeps promises. It increases nat’l #debt by $1 trillion.

  13. This crystallized something for me. We all know that low-info voters could swing most any election if they woke up. But:

    Many of us "[D]on’t understand how most people actually learn about politics … [they] avoid politics entirely. The only way they absorb it is ambiently, through a health influencer, a podcast, or the sports they watch. That is exactly where Musk is spending money now, & Democrats have nothing running to counter it …"

  18. Get away from my Crypto!!

    62% of survey respondents do NOT trust the Trump administration to oversee the crypto industry, according to CoinDesk. The poll also has 73% of the public opposing senior government officials having personal business dealings in the industry. The poll surveyed equal numbers of Democratic and Republican voters. coindesk.com/policy/2026/05/03 #Crypto #CryptoRegulation #CoinDesk #Voters #Governance

  19. The #RockbridgeNetwork has assembled a database with deep profiles of potential #voters through nonpolitical memberships, including outdoors groups & churches, acc/to a person directly familiar with the organization.

    #ChrisBuskirk’s ties to #Trump’s orbit go beyond Rockbridge. #1789Capital, the #VC firm he co-founded with investor #OmeedMalik, focuses on what the partners call “patriotic capitalism” & now counts Donald Trump Jr. as a partner.

    The worst outcomes are less likely if Trump is less popular. So Democrats need to win the battle of public opinion."

  21. A quotation from Rogers, Will:

    «
    That’s the characteristic of our country. We can get all lathering at the time over some political campaign promise, or some conference pledge, but if the thing just drags along long enough we forget what it was that originally promised. The short memories of the American voters is what keeps our politicians in office.

  22. #Disaffected #Voters May Want to #Consider What #Decades of #RightWing #MinorityRule Could Bring.

    #ConvictedFelon #DonaldTrump will not last forever, but if he #wins election to a second term, his #Farright #RepublicanParty’s system of #minority #rule could be here for #decades. The #damage they would inflict on the people of this nation—and the world—is #horrifying to contemplate.
