Contrary to what many political pundits, including this one, thought would happen as soon as Donald Trump became the presumptive GOP nominee, the former president has maintained a slim but steady polling lead over President Joe Biden. As of today, the RCP Average has Trump with a 1.1% overall advantage, with Quinnipiac being the only May poll showing Biden leading, albeit by a mere 1%. By contrast, Biden enjoyed a 5.6% advantage this time in 2020, an election in which Trump never actually took the average polling lead.Still, are there signs that Trump's lead might be softer than we think?...

Climate change gets all the attention but Americans are far more worried about inflation, crime, illegal immigration, and the federal deficit. Results of a Gallup survey released on Monday showed that while Americans are very much aware of the claims of climate alarmists, the share of Americans who say they are very concerned about the issue is relatively small. “Among the leading issues confronting the nation, the environment ranks as a lesser public concern, with 37 percent saying they worry a great deal about environmental quality,” Gallup reports.

Michael Cohen, the ex-personal attorney of former President Trump, said his former boss “should be worried” about the prosecutors, witnesses and evidence that are coming his way after a judge set his hush money trial start date. “He shouldn’t be worried about me. He should be worried about the Manhattan district attorney, the district attorney of New York prosecutors, he should be worried about the documentary evidence, he should be worried about all of the witnesses that are going to be coming into that trial simply because, as others have also appropriately put it, this is a simple case,” Cohen...

The Electoral College has successfully protected the integrity of U.S. presidential elections for more than two centuries, a record unmatched around the world. Yet the calls for getting rid of the Electoral College and switching to the popular vote have only grown louder over time. Since the adoption of the U.S. Constitution in 1787, there have been more than 700 congressional proposals aimed at reforming or repealing the Electoral College. Ironically, the system’s remarkable effectiveness might be precisely what makes it such an inviting target for criticism: the Electoral College has made election fraud so difficult to contemplate that it...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Situation Room,” CNN’s Chief Political Analyst Gloria Borger stated that President Joe Biden is talking about abortion because he “doesn’t want this election to be about the things that people are so worried about, inflation and the economy.” Borger stated, “I think what the President was trying to do today is remind people, as he put it, how they felt the day of the Dobbs decision.

When it finally dawned on Donald Trump in the twilight of his presidency that he wouldn’t be living in the White House for another four years, he had a problem: he had barely packed and had to move out quickly. West Wing aides and government movers frantically tossed documents and other items into banker boxes that were shipped to a storage room at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida along with other, previously packed records set aside by Trump, sometimes erratically so, according to two sources with knowledge of Trump’s move and records issues.

President Biden tried to downplay his tanking poll numbers and poor performances by Democrats in last week’s elections Monday — though he acknowledged that “people are worried.” “Well, look, the poll I saw just before I walked in, on another station, was my polling number is down, but it’s 48 percent to 52 percent,” the president said in an interview with WKRC-TV in Cincinnati. ”But look, the point is, I didn’t run because of the polls.” Biden spoke hours after the release of a USA Today/Suffolk University poll that found his approval rating had sunk to 37.8 percent, while his...
