Demographics favor Tisza among the young and educated, and scandals affecting the government have dented support, making turnout and undecided voters crucial as Orbán remains cautiously confident.

Eight Decades of Polls Show Americans’ Enduring Space Fascination

A CNN review of nearly 80 years of public opinion polls shows Americans generally value space exploration and NASA, with support rising since the Apollo era and remaining relatively nonpartisan, even as cost concerns can sway replies. Current polling around Artemis II indicates broad backing for human spaceflight and NASA’s high favorability, while private companies and space tourism are increasingly part of the conversation, with experts projecting spaceflight becoming routine by the 2070s.

The update appears alongside other national political stories in a live feed.

Biden Goes on Offense in South Carolina, Attacking Trump and Immigration Policy

He criticized Trump’s immigration stance and his handling of a Minnesota violence incident tied to immigration enforcement, and noted a NBC News poll showing disapproval of Trump’s border policy. Biden also leaned on South Carolina’s history in nominating presidents as he framed the 2028 race as a continuation of Democratic governance.
