Despite topping national polls with more than a quarter of the vote, the AfD has received just 4.7% of invitations to Germany’s flagship ARD and ZDF talk shows this year—a gap that raises fresh questions about whether public broadcasters are meeting their legal duty of political balance. Co-leader of AfD Alice Weidel sits opposite German journalist Markus Preiss prior to a summer interview with German public broadcaster ARD in Berlin’s government quarter, as the Reichstag building is seen in the background, on July 20, 2025. - Odd ANDERSEN / AFP.

WASHINGTON — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is not planning an aggressive campaign at voting sites during the upcoming midterm elections, the Department of Homeland Security said Thursday in response to a States Newsroom inquiry about a letter from U.S. Senate Democrats voicing concerns about armed federal agents at polling places.ICE, an agency within DHS that has sustained intense criticism since the start of the second Trump administration for its aggressive and sometimes deadly tactics, has no plans to target polling sites in November, a DHS official told States Newsroom in an email.The official left open the possibility, though, that...

Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), and in Maine, where progressive Graham Platner hopes to oust Sen. Susan Collins (R).

Miranda Devine: Bruce Blakeman is the antidote to the anti-American poison emanating from Albany and City Hall — but voters must hit the polls

NYPost ^ | 06/25/2026
Once we’re all done setting our hair on fire and wringing our hands about the latest crop of anti-American, Jew-hating, Communist revolutionaries who’ve just grabbed political power, let’s look at the upside. Hardly anybody voted for them. And they give Republicans a golden opportunity — if the party can get its act together, and if conservatives and sensible centrists can be persuaded to get off their couches and actually vote — and vote strategically. No more sitting on the fence.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The algae from the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool surged ahead of former Vice President Kamala Harris in polls for the Democratic Party's 2028 presidential nomination. The news came over the weekend after many Democrats expressed approval of the green sludge covering much of the newly renovated reflecting pond in front of the national monument. Many said they thought the ooze adequately reflected their values and political objectives over other potential candidates like Harris. "I like that stuff," Democratic voter Kelsey Waters said. "I'd vote for it in a heartbeat. It knows how to stand up to Republicans,...

Backing for the British monarchy has plummeted to its lowest point in over three decades of Ipsos research, with just 55 per cent of the public now wanting the country to remain a monarchy. The dramatic 11 percentage point decline over the past three years represents a significant decline in support for the Crown. The survey of 1,062 British adults was carried out in March 2026, in the weeks following Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Younger generations have proven particularly disenchanted, with merely a third of those aged 18 to 34 expressing support for maintaining...

POLLS have opened in the crucial Makerfield by-election that could see Andy Burnham return to parliament to challenge Sir Keir Starmer.

🚨TEXAS ALERT: Polls are OPEN today in the Senate runoff that could reshape the entire GOP. John Cornyn, the ultimate Washington RINO insider with decades of playing both sides vs. Ken Paxton, the fighter President Trump just endorsed with full force. Cornyn led the first round, but momentum has completely flipped. This is the establishment’s last stand in Texas. If you’re in Texas, get out and vote. This one actually matters.

Hi all, Just a brief note here---I know many of you get "Today's News" which Lakeside Granny generously posts. Here are a couple of thoughts on "polls" that supposedly have Trump in low 40s or worse. 1) When the first bombing campaign on Iran began just under a year ago, several of "our" reliable pollsters went nuts. Not going to name names. I've known some of them for years, and we have been mutually supportive. But they veered far left mainly driven by animus to Israel, and it has only gotten worse. They did what they always criticized their Hoax-y...

A bitter GOP civil war is erupting in California’s governor race with Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco torching Republican rival Steve Hilton’s campaign as a “full-blown lie” and claiming he’s been “bought and paid for” by Democrats. In a blistering video message Tuesday, Bianco flatly demanded Hilton quit the race as the two Republicans battle to survive California’s jungle primary system and snag a spot in November’s general election. “Hey Steve, it’s Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, your next governor. Steve, it is time for you to drop out. Your campaign has already failed,” Bianco said. “It failed in January....

San Francisco Rep. Nancy Pelosi has finally weighed in on potential heirs to her nearly 40-year reign in Congress — giving a nod to a left-wing pol who’s trailing badly in polls. The longtime San Francisco rep and former House speaker lavished praise on Connie Chan, a member of the Board of Supervisors representing west side neighborhoods — though she stopped short of making an official endorsement. “She’d be a great member of Congress,” Pelosi said in a rare interview Thursday, per the San Francisco Standard.The powerful Den said it’d be “very exciting” to send an Asian American congressional rep...

Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., heads into the May 19 Republican primary in Kentucky's 4th Congressional District favored over Trump-backed challenger Ed Gallrein in both public polling and prediction markets, even as President Donald Trump and allied super PACs press a costly effort to oust the seven-term incumbent. Two April surveys put Massie ahead. A Big Data Poll survey released on April 8, conducted as part of the firm's crowdfunded Public Polling Project and not sponsored by any campaign, showed Massie leading 52.4%-47.6% after undecided voters were asked who they leaned toward. The poll interviewed 433 likely Republican primary voters on...

Voters are in the Virginia polls, choosing yes or no on a constitutional amendment that could sway four seats in the U.S. House of Representatives come November. New congressional redistricting maps were ignited by second-term Republican Donald Trump’s pressure onto Texas in 2025. Thus far, redraws have given hope for Republicans to gain three seats; Virginia could change that to a one seat deficit.The state has six Democrats and five Republicans in the House, and if the amendment passes would be forecast to reach a 10-1 edge. In the last statewide presidential vote of 2024, Democrat Kamala Harris edged Trump...
