Trump is at 81% approval with rank-and-file Republicans but 52% among Republican-leaning independents. Disapproval is 92% among Dems and Dem leaners, and 65% among those who don't lean towards either party

Sixteen months into his second term, Trump is unpopular across a range of sociodemographic groups, including men and women as well as every age, education, income and racial group. From our new Post-Ipsos national poll www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This is the first Post-Ipsos poll where significantly more than half of Trump approvers support him only “somewhat,” rather than strongly. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

McDuffie argued he was the best to handle crime and voters trusted him by an 8-point margin on the issue. But it wasn't as important to voters, with crime concern plummeting in the past two years in D.C., a trend that began before Trump's federal task force launched last August

Remarkable, in early D.C. returns, Kenyan McDuffie is losing Ward 5, which he used to represent, by 16 points to Janeese Lewis George

In April, 32% of Americans were confident that an agreement to end the war with Iran would prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons according to a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll, slightly lower than confidence in the Obama admin's deal in 2015 www.washingtonpost.com/tablet/2026/...

Our poll showed Democrats were more concerned about the party being weak vs. too liberal by a 24/3 margin. Independents were about equally concerned about each, while Republicans overwhelmingly criticized the Dem party as too liberal wapo.st/4v6yJy8

Our April poll asked an open-ended question on what people dislike most about the Democratic Party. Criticisms of being too liberal or having specific liberal positions were among the top criticisms, along with being weak/not standing up to Trump. Gift link -> wapo.st/4v6yJy8

The NYT-Siena poll is useful in showing Democrats understand where the party's image is weakest. They're most likely to say the party should move to the center on crime and immigration - these are the two issues where Republicans still lead even at Trump's nadir (poll links in a reply)

D.C. voters support imposing teen curfews by a more than 3 to 1 margin, according to a Washington Post-Schar School poll. Here's how it is playing in the city's mayoral election www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Lewis George has galvanized the left, with voters who identify as “very liberal” favoring her by a 45-point margin. McDuffie holds a much smaller 11-point edge with moderate and conservative voters, although about one-third are still undecided. 3/x www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Lewis George holds 10-15 pt leads on trust to handle housing affordability, the cost of living and public schools. McDuffie holds an eight-point edge on handling crime and public safety, while voters are more split on handling the economy and Trump admin 2/x www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Why is Janeese Lewis George leading D.C.'s mayoral primary race? (Thread) By 20 points Democrats see her as more "honest and trustworthy" than McDuffie. Suggests ads from Lewis George+allies portraying McDuffie as cozy w/utility execs may be having an effect www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
