Mamdani's 100-Day Pulse: Modest Support Amid Broad NYC Unease

A Emerson College/PIX11 poll finds NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani at 43% approval (27% disapproval) at 100 days, with 59% saying the city is on the wrong track; approval is higher among November voters (+26 net) than non-voters (+9). Voters favor his handling of childcare (54%) and housing affordability (49%), are split on the budget (40% approve, 37% disapprove), and rate the economy as mostly poor/fair. A strong 65% back a millionaire’s tax, while most think the wealthy should bear higher taxes; fewer expect a corporate tax increase to trigger mass exits (44% don’t think it would, 30% think it would). Poll conducted April 5–6, 2026 with 850 registered voters, MOE ±3.4%.

MAHA fracture could tilt the midterms toward Democrats

A POLITICO/Public First poll finds 47% of Americans support the MAHA movement, with cross‑partisan appeal including about a third of Harris 2024 voters and a similar share of Democrats, while 70% of Trump 2024 voters back MAHA. The movement is reshaping GOP health policy and offers Democrats an opening to win MAHA voters by emphasizing disease prevention, stricter regulation of chemicals, and expanded reproductive health care, even as some MAHA supporters oppose vaccines. MAHA voters are not strictly partisan and also back several GOP-friendly policies (e.g., removing artificial dyes, restricting junk-food subsidies), suggesting the movement could influence key midterm races depending on how candidates frame health issues. Overall, health topics aren’t the top priority for most voters, but MAHA could become a meaningful swing factor in November.

Polls Warn Ground War in Iran Could Cost Trump His Presidency

A new set of polls from AP-NORC, Data for Progress, Quinnipiac and Fox News finds broad opposition to US ground troops in Iran: about 63% of Republicans back airstrikes, only 20% favor deploying troops, and overall 62% of Americans oppose ground troops. Democrats and independents also oppose. The findings imply that while Trump retains some Republican support, a potential ground war could damage his appeal and threaten his presidency in a midterm year if the US gets drawn into a prolonged conflict.

Poll Finds Broad Disapproval of Iran War and Trump Handling Amid Deep Partisan Split

A Pew Research Center survey of 3,524 U.S. adults (Mar 16–22, 2026) shows Americans largely view the decision to use force in Iran as wrong and disapprove of President Trump's handling, with Democrats overwhelmingly opposing and Republicans mostly approving. The public also expects the conflict to last several months to a year or more and generally believes the action makes the U.S. and the world less safe, though opinions vary by age and party.

California gubernatorial debate canceled amid accusations of racially biased eligibility rules

A California gubernatorial debate co-sponsored by USC and KABC was canceled hours before it would begin after criticism that the qualifying criteria—based on polling and fundraising—excluded nonwhite candidates. USC defended the rules as research-based, while excluded campaigns denounced the process. The invited lineup—Porter, Steyer, Swalwell, Bianco, Hilton, and Mahan—was all white, prompting calls from excluded candidates’ camps for a fairer forum and plans for a separate event that never materialized as the USC-KABC debate was scrapped.

White House Declares Epic Fury a Resounding Victory Against Iran

The White House claims Operation Epic Fury has achieved overwhelming success against Iran in three weeks, destroying the regime’s air and naval capabilities, ballistic missiles, and production facilities, and crippling its funding for proxies (with over 7,000 targets hit). It also highlights broad polling support from MAGA Republicans and Republicans generally, while framing media opposition as fake news and praising a Peace Through Strength approach.

Enten: Global Backlash to Trump’s Iran War Signals Trouble Abroad

CNN analyst Harry Enten says polling among traditional U.S. allies shows growing overseas opposition to Donald Trump’s Iran war, with negative views of the action in Canada, Japan and the U.K. and a broad drop in favorable opinions of the U.S. overall—indicating that the nation’s allies are turning against the move, a situation Enten calls the “chickens coming home to roost.”

Trump Allies Press for Broad Deportations as White House Recalibrates

Furious Trump allies have formed the Mass Deportation Coalition to push the White House to resume broad deportations of all eligible migrants, backed by new polling suggesting voters prefer removing all deportable migrants. The coalition plans to share data with White House officials and Congress in an effort to energize the base ahead of the 2026 midterms. The White House says its enforcement agenda hasn’t shifted, even as DHS leadership changes and some Hispanic GOP lawmakers warn the approach could hurt the party politically.

Trump’s Iran Strike Tests Loyalty of His Base

Trump’s Iran strikes reveal fractures in his coalition: while a majority of MAGA Republicans back military action, many of his 2024 voters and most Democrats oppose intervention, creating a test of whether he can keep non-MAGA Republicans and the broader public onboard depending on how the conflict unfolds.
