New from us:

Americans’ discontent with the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade remains as potent as a year ago, with record-high share saying they’re likely to take a candidate’s position on abortion into consideration when voting.

cnn.com/2023/08/08/pol…
There's a lot in the piece, but I do just want to pull out this slightly wonky crosstab on "cross-pressured" voters, which demonstrates nicely why any attempt to measure an issue's electoral impact is so complicated.

Anyways, this is one of those keep-several-things-in-mind stories:

-Econ issues still dominate
-Salience of abortion has risen, particularly on left
-Electoral effects depend on if issue matters to swing/inconsistent voters
-In close races, even small effects can be crucial

oh, wow, nearly half of registered voters say they're not satisfied with the two major presidential candidates and want other choices!

also, did I mention it is the year 2008 and the candidates are John McCain and Barack Obama
same story in May 2000 with Bush/Gore
and Carter/Reagan in 1980

General polling rule of thumb: the degree to which public opinion on an issue is responsive to framing tweaks tells you a lot about how stable/deeply held those opinions are.
(Obviously, this is one of the high variance cases. A good counter example: there have been a ton of polls asking about striking down Roe in various ways that all produce basically similar results to the effect of its being highly unpopular.)
(Another counter example: you can ask the public any number of ways, and cutting Social Security is still not going to be popular.)

From our new poll: "Sixty percent of Americans approve of the indictment of former President Donald Trump...About three-quarters of Americans say politics played at least some role in the decision to indict Trump."

cnn.com/2023/04/03/pol…
"A scant 10% overall see Trump as blameless regarding payments made to Daniels...About 4 in 10 say he acted illegally (37%), 33% unethically but not illegally, and another 20% say they aren’t sure."

cnn.com/2023/04/03/pol…
"About three in 10 say the decision strengthens US democracy (31%) and an identical share say it weakens democracy (31%). Roughly a quarter say it has no effect on democracy (23%) and 15% are unsure."

i can't be the first person to make this joke but it would be so great if an orchestra hall rolled out a "high wind advisory" right before every piccolo solo
tbh it's eminently possibly that this is also not the first time I have made this joke
and now I'm stuck trying to find if there are any symphonies with piccolo solos
