Foldable iPhone Ultra Faces Mixed Reception as Poll Signals Slower Early Uptake

Apple’s first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Ultra, isn’t generating the expected early excitement, with a reader poll showing most buyers favoring the iPhone 18 Pro Max instead. At rumored prices around $2,000+, rivals’ foldables and mixed reviews could slow adoption, though Apple is counting on a fall launch with features like a book-style design, reduced crease hinge, side Touch ID, large battery, up to 1TB storage, dual 48MP cameras, and iOS 27 optimizations to win over early adopters.

Global trust in the United States collapses under Trump, Pew finds

A Pew Research Center survey of over 42,000 people in 36 countries finds 76% have no confidence in Donald Trump’s leadership on world affairs and only 23% express confidence; trust in the US as a partner has sharply declined in major allies—UK reliability falls from 82% in 2022 to 49%, and Canada from 83% to 35%—as criticisms mount over Gaza handling, tariffs and the Russia-Ukraine war, though Trump supporters say he is restoring America’s standing.

Payroll and People: MLB players rate clubs on culture and resources

More than 100 MLB players across 23 teams weighed in on which clubs have good or bad reputations. The poll shows big‑market teams that prioritize player care and resources—the Dodgers, Yankees, Cubs, Blue Jays and Braves—are viewed most favorably, while low‑payroll or under‑resourced clubs (Rockies, Pirates, A’s, White Sox, Angels) are seen as having poorer reputations. A recurring theme: how teams treat players and their families, plus investment in development and facilities, largely shapes these perceptions, with Brewers cited as a standout positive example among small markets.

Poll busts Trump’s claim of worldwide admiration for U.S.

A Pew Research Center survey of 36 countries finds less than a quarter of global adults express confidence in Trump’s leadership on global affairs, with the United States at 37% favorability and Canada dropping from 83% to 35% since 2022; 56% say the U.S. government doesn’t respect personal freedoms and a median of 63% say the U.S. contributes little or nothing to global peace, with only seven nations granting a majority positive view (Israel at 81%). The findings contrast with Trump’s rhetoric of universal American strength amid ongoing tensions over Iran.

Poll Signals Backlash to Trump’s Iran Deal as Public Doubts Grow

New CBS News/YouGov polling shows 69% of Americans believe Iran’s nuclear program hasn’t been stopped and 78% want the Iran war to end, with only 28% saying it advanced U.S. economic interests, a sign of growing skepticism toward Trump’s peace deal even as NPR/Marist finds his job approval dragging (36% approve, 59% disapprove). The data underscore financial pains from rising energy costs and widening political headwinds for Trump across key voter groups ahead of the midterms.

Poll shows Americans split on Iran policy: diplomacy vs. regime change across party lines

A Reagan Institute Summer Survey of 1,555 nationwide adults (±2.5 points) finds Americans nearly even on Iran policy: 39% back a negotiated settlement that leaves Iran’s current government in place with verifiable limits, 36% support replacing the regime, 16% favor a weakened Iran, and 8% don’t know. Democrats largely back diplomacy (52%), Republicans prefer regime change (about 50%), with MAGA Republicans at 51% for regime change. The poll accompanies the Trump administration’s 60-day memorandum of understanding with Iran aimed at reducing tensions and pursuing a broader nuclear deal.

Becerra Holds Commanding Edge in California Governor’s Race as November Looms

Democrat Xavier Becerra leads Republican Steve Hilton 52% to 31% in the general-election match‑up, per a UC Berkeley IGS/L.A. Times poll of 8,578 registered voters (May 19–24, margin ±2%). Democrats’ loyalty and Becerra’s surge after Swalwell’s exit anchor a traditional, partisan race in which Hilton’s Trump endorsement helps him with GOP voters but is unlikely to close the statewide gap ahead of November.

Americans uneasy about AI's potential to cost jobs at home, Reuters/Ipsos finds

Europe Questions the U.S. Alliance as Poll Finds 11% View Washington as Ally

An ECFR poll across 15 European countries with about 19,500 respondents finds only 11% view the U.S. as an ally—down from 16% six months earlier and 22% in 2024—while half see it as a necessary partner and 25% as a rival. Attitudes vary, with rising perceptions of the U.S. as a rival in several countries. Researchers link shifts to Trump-era moves such as threats to leave NATO, Greenland annexation talk, Iran action planning without Europe, and troop withdrawals. A majority doubt U.S. aid if attacked and prefer Europe to buy more weapons and pursue an independent deterrent, signaling a push toward reduced reliance on Washington. The survey, conducted in May 2026, included 19,481 respondents across 15 nations including the U.K., Germany, France, and Italy, and suggests European attitudes may improve only after Trump leaves office.
