New @DataProgress polling:

77% of voters think the scientific community — including research labs and universities — should have a say over whether this rule [to give White House officials final approval over all grant funding] goes into effect.

[Data for Progress @DataProgress]

NEW: Under proposed White House rules, the federal government could limit federal grants to research that "advances the President's policy priorities."

We find 60% of voters oppose this proposal, while just 34% support it.

[Data for Progress @DataProgress]

When it comes to scientific research, voters say that grantmaking should be led by scientists and experts — not elected officials.

A ruling in line with national public opinion:

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

Reuters: U.S. SUPREME COURT RULES AGAINST TRUMP'S ORDER LIMIT BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP

[Data for Progress @DataProgress]

However, voters do not believe that Trump should be able to fire the heads of independent agencies at will, misaligning with SCOTUS's decision in this case.

[SCOTUS Wire @scotus_wire]

🚨 In a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court ruled that the President may fire FTC commissioners at will, overruling Humphrey's Executor and holding that the FTC's for-cause removal protections violate the Constitution's separation of powers.

[Data for Progress @DataProgress]

Our polling found that voters wanted #SCOTUS to rule against the RNC and count mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day.

[SCOTUS Wire @scotus_wire]

🚨 In a 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court ruled that federal law does not require mail-in ballots to be received by Election Day, holding that states may count ballots postmarked by Election Day but received afterward if state law allows it.

[Data for Progress @DataProgress]

As our polling with @imeupolicy found after Mamdani’s primary win last year, NYC Dem primary voters want candidates who focus on lowering costs, taxing the rich, and ending the genocide in Gaza.

Progressive candidates up and down the ballot ran on those issues — and won.

[Data for Progress @DataProgress]

Never in doubt.

[Data for Progress @DataProgress]

Our poll with @demandprogress in the fall also made clear that Goldman was out of step with the NY-10 electorate on Israel and that Lander was the frontrunner from the jump.
