I’m voting to re-elect Governor Katie Hobbs. She doesn’t make a lot of noise, but quietly gets things done for AZ. She has lowered electricity bills, expanded free school lunches, vetoed extremist bills that the GOP leg has passed, & she is the only Gov to visit every tribal community. ⬇️
BREAKING NEW RESEARCH: There is now only a single major religious group (guess which!) with a majority still holding a favorable view of President Donald Trump.

PRRI Substack Live: 3 PM ET on Wednesday, June 10!
Hear from @robertpjones.bsky.social, @melissadeckman.bsky.social, and special guest @dianabutlerbass.bsky.social for a timely conversation exploring what new PRRI data reveals about Trump’s favorability heading into the 2026 midterm elections.
Gotta say this headline from AmericaToday cheered me.
"The (Economist/YouGov) poll found the U.S.-born Pope Leo had the highest net favorability rating of a group of public figures they polled at plus-37 percentage points. Trump had a minus-17 rating, a difference of 54 percentage points."

Plus, a conversation with Diana Butler Bass and an invitation to support the production of rigorous, independent research that is the backbone of democracy.
Q: Are you concerned about the latest inflation numbers that came out this morning?
TRUMP: No, I love it. I love the inflation. You know why? Because as soon as this war is over -- do you know we've been taking out millions of barrels of oil? You know who doesn't know? Iran until right now.
