Today & tomorrow Marche votes! Once a left-wing region, it swung right in 2020 with Acquaroli. Dubbed Italy’s “Ohio,” it opens with Aosta Valley an autumn wave of regional contests with national weight. Acquaroli is 1 of 2 FdI governors, same party as PM Meloni. Pre-election polls attached.

A longitudinal survey by Demos shows how Italian trust in the administration has steadily dropped to levels similar to the pre-pandemic Conte II government—markedly lower than during Conte I, post-pandemic Conte II, and Draghi's terms.
