The partisan changes in consumer sentiment this month are more the result of declines in perceptions of current conditions (top) than expectations about the future (bottom).

On all these measures, Independents now look much more like Democrats than Republicans.

Is Oregon's combination of automatic voter registration, in which new registrants are defaulted into NAV, and closed partisan primaries working? And how long can it be sustained without changes?

If not changed, how should the SoS address the fact that young voters are overwhelmingly NAV?

In the year 2025, why does SoS search pages for candidates, measures, etc. kick you out if you have more than one tab open? (Or sometimes when it just thinks you do.)

What is the status of the Oregon Election Modernization Project?

This was the status posted late last year. Updates used to be linked to on the SoS "Voting and Election" page. I can no longer find it.

New from @pewresearch.org: the share of Americans who agree with the policy positions of Democrats and Republicans.

Republicans' greatest advantages are crime and immigration. Democrats' greatest advantages are health care and the environment/climate.

They are about even on the economy.
