People say they would be more curious than scared about the prospect of meeting extraterrestrials should they come to Earth. But such contact also generates some anxiety – more would be nervous than calm. tinyurl.com/yc2k4f9x

We are not alone in space – and maybe not even on Earth. At least that's what the public believes. Most Americans believe intelligent life exists on other planets and one in five think they've already made contact with us. tinyurl.com/yc2k4f9x

Former New Jersey Democratic Sen. Bill Bradley, who helped lead the Knicks to two NBA titles in the 1970s, spoke with @nikolenDC ahead of Game 3 at Madison Square Garden, saying the Knicks have “the makings of a champion.” Bradley also spoke on President Trump, who is expected to attend the game: “It's a free country. Anybody can go to the game. But he's got to recognize if he comes, he's second fiddle because the people are there to see these two teams play.”

Current redistricting efforts are seen, on balance, as leading to more political power for Republicans and less for Democrats. And leading to more political power for White voters and less for Black and Hispanic voters. tinyurl.com/2mxxn6r4

Amid the battles over redistricting, most voters think the redistricting process is making congressional elections more unfair, & that it is making U.S. democracy weaker. That's because most would prefer more competition, drawing districts that don't favor one party over another. tinyurl.com/2mxxn6r4

The Dem party isn’t seen as that much better in their approach to economic policy. A third think neither side has the better one or they are not sure. Neither party is seen by a majority as helping w/ the cost of living, though they give the relative edge to Dems here. tinyurl.com/mu65u22e

Most Americans describe their feelings about the Trump administration's economic approach as either "frustrated" or "angry." His ratings for handling the economy & inflation continue to slip. Trump’s overall approval has ticked down again too, now at its lowest level of his 2nd term.

Replying to @GavinNewsom
WHO'S GOT THE EDGE IN THE CALIFORNIA 'JUNGLE' PRIMARY? It remains wide open. The 2 highest — Republican @SteveHiltonx and Democrat @TomSteyer — are in the mid-teens. There are more "undecided" voters than any single candidate has support.
