Is there a new embrace of religion among the young? News reports have found examples of flourishing young congregations. But Pew national polls find stability over last 5 years and some decline among the young. Some perspective. charlesatpollsandvotes.substack.com/p/religion-a...

Trump net approval has been slipping in polling averages. This story looks at economic issues and among independents. Good use of MULawPoll, Fox & Ipsos data.

Trump's approval has declined in October and November, after holding pretty steady July-Sept. Steady decline Jan-Mar, then sharper after announcing tariffs in April, rose in May after backing off on tariffs. Then small decline in June. Current decline is across most pollsters.

Dems do very well in VA. Win Gov by 14, AG by 5 (despite texting scandal), perhaps most impressive shift house of delegates from D 51-49 to D 64-36
Talk of NJ as swing state premature: Dem win Gov by nearly 13. Was supposed to be much closer
Surprise 2 PSC D wins in GA
most vote in but unofficial
