Nearly three in 10 Americans think they’ve achieved the American Dream, while the same number (29%) think it’s out of reach: navigatorresearch.org/americ…

The nation is feeling queasy about celebrating its birthday in the Trump era—but the national political narrative feels distinct from how regular Americans actually view their country, at least according to some focus groups. @PeterHamby reports: puck.news/what-do-regular-am…

At our 250th, how do Americans feel about our freedoms, the American dream, our flag & more? 🇺🇸 @NavigatorSurvey set out to answer these questions through an in-depth research project. I’ve been surprised, moved to tears & fascinated by what we found 👇 navigatorresearch.org/americ…

There's been a lot of chatter about America at 250 years. What does patriotism mean in 2026? What binds us, when so much is actively working to divide us? @NavigatorSurvey took a look at these questions and more in a remarkable new survey: navigatorresearch.org/americ…

I very often have participants tear up in my focus groups. Rarely do I tear up myself. But I did in this wave of @NavigatorSurvey. Read more here...
New @PuckNews Exclusive new focus groups show how swing voters are thinking about America 250th birthday with Donald Trump at the helm. They’re uneasy about our politics and the shaky promise of the American Dream - but they’re still patriotic. puck.news/what-do-regular-am…

Lots to say on this actually 🧵 Spencer Pratt will progress to the general election in a major American city. Let that sink in for a second… Pratt inherited and exemplified everything the right has been building for the last decade. This should keep Democrats up at night.
A lot of people didn’t watch The Hills and it fucking shows.

Guess what did not break through to voters even a little bit? The DNC autopsy! Google search data continues to show how much politics (yellow) / gov (blue) gets dwarfed by sports (red) ... but if you zoom into the politics/gov section ... no peep of the autopsy whatsoever 🤐

Trump and his MAGA coalition are so historically unpopular that their only move is to chip away at our rights. Today’s ruling is a historic blow for Black voters who have unfortunately been here too many times.
Breaking News: The Supreme Court struck down Louisiana’s voting map, calling it an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. It's unclear how the decision will impact the midterms, but Louisiana will likely lose one Democratic district. nyti.ms/4ugVnDa

NEW: Battleground voters say their health care costs are soaring. They’re choosing b/w insurance or rent. In @NavigatorSurvey focus groups, some voters blame GOP, others blame both parties/insurance industry. Dems have a clear opening, but some work to do landing the message. First in @politico politico.com/news/2026/04/28…

As a teacher & @ChiPubSchools parent, I saw how losing school days hurts kids… and absenteeism has spiked Now @ChicagosMayor is strong-arming CPS to close schools on May 1… not to improve student outcomes, but to advance a political agenda
Multiple CPS sources tell me CEO King had a tense phone call with the Mayor yesterday - after putting out guidance that classes would go on as scheduled May 1st. King deferred to the Board of Ed when CTU filed a grievance - claiming they should be able to move a planned "Professional Development" day from June to May 1. The CTU-aligned appointed board of Ed members voted to approve in a closed door straw poll - providing majority support. Thus, barring more last minute confusion, classes are canceled May 1 for CTU members to attend May Day rallies. CTU has also called for curriculum teaching kids about protesting, labor history and the significance of MayDay...

YouTube reaches more voters every week than cable and broadcast TV combined. Most campaigns still treat it like an afterthought. We developed Warbler to fix that. ->

In our latest survey, 49% have a favorable opinion of NATO compared to just 27% with an unfavorable opinion of the alliance. Even more Republicans view NATO favorably than unfavorably. More in our report tomorrow👀
