Who is more likely to give to charity, liberals or conservatives? And how much do they give? The answers (from our national survey) may surprise you histphil.org/2026/01/13/reth… #charity #nonprofits #philanthropy @debbiejsr

New Globe/Suffolk poll shows candidate for Boston mayor Josh Kraft (Bob Kraft's son) in serious trouble--down 30 points to a popular incumbent. His unfavorables are particularly high for someone the voters know little about. #Boston #mapoli #mayors bostonglobe.com/2025/07/21/m…

First poll out on Boston's mayor's race: Incumbent Michelle Wu leads with 43%. Challenger Josh Kraft is not as far behind as might have been expected at 29%. Kraft has no experience in politics but comes from the well-known football family #Boston #mapoli bostonglobe.com/2025/02/27/m…

Tufts' CIRCLE's new report on the youth vote in 2024 shows that participation declined (42% in 2024 vs. 50% in 2020). Harris carried the vote from 18-29 year olds by only 4% #youth #voting #Election2024 @CivicYouth @TuftsUniversity circle.tufts.edu/2024-el
