Trump said again today that he should get the Nobel Peace Prize. But 76 percent of Americans say he doesn't deserve the award, according to the latest Post-Ipsos poll www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Immigration is seen as his best issue by supporters and worst issue among opponents, and that this has grown among both since February (with a big drop in people naming DOGE cuts). Via our latest Post-Ipsos national poll www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

Majorities of Americans disapprove of Trump's handling of crime, immigration, tariffs, the economy, Russia and Gaza, per @washingtonpost.com @ipsosus.bsky.social poll. Overall, Trump's approval rating is 43%. @emgusk.bsky.social @sfcpoll.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Our Post-Ipsos poll (Fri-Tues, mostly pre-Kimmel) finds 62% of Americans think Trump has gone "beyond his authority as president," similar to 60% in April but up from 57% in February. 34% say Biden did so when he was president www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Despite disapproval of Trump on crime, immigration and the economy, more Americans trust Republicans than Democrats to handle each of these issues, according to a Washington Post-Ipsos national poll www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The latest from YouGov (n ~ 3k). People overall believe Jimmy Kimmel's comments were acceptable. Further, people found FCC Chair Brendan Carr's comments about planning to retaliate *unacceptable.* And overall, people strongly disapprove of canceling Kimmel's show today.yougov.com/topics/overv...

It is indeed @agawande.bsky.social, who tells me that he’s making a documentary about the dismantling of U.S. public health efforts at home and abroad (and got to the hearing early for his seats)

One thing that Cassidy is clearly thinking about: RFK Jr's threat to hepatitis B vaccines — there's a very good chance that RFK Jr's handpicked vaccine advisers will soon roll back recommendations for hep B vaccines. — Cassidy, who has treated hep B patients, has said that idea is mind-boggling

The suspect who killed Charlie Kirk said his rifle-cartridge messages were all "a big meme," according to messages just released in court. "if I see 'notices bulge uwu' on fox new I might have a stroke," he said. So, yeah, it was all a shitpost. More here on the meanings: bsky.app/profile/drew...

These estimates of public support for violence (from www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/o...) are inflated - *much* higher than what we and others have found using question wording that reduces acquiescence bias: brightlinewatch.org/accelerated-... The vast majority of Americans reject political violence.

I'm presenting an AAPOR webinar on Thursday on best practices. portal.aapor.org/integratedEv.... This will draw on five years of AAPOR presentations, plus hot off the press findings from surveys we fielded at the end of August.

The Post partnered with KFF to survey more than 2,700 parents about vaccination. Here's some of what we learned about the 1 in 6 who skipped or delayed recommended vaccines (except flu/covid) for their kids 🧵 and gift link wapo.st/3K4aFcG

In case you missed it Friday, a very good @cwarzel.bsky.social piece about the very bad social web

Deeply reported story from @laurenweberhp.bsky.social @sfcpoll.bsky.social @emgusk.bsky.social @lenasun.bsky.social on why 1 in 6 American parents are rejecting vaccine recommendations + going their own way.

Don't miss KFF's report on the findings from our joint poll of more than 2,700 parents on childhood vaccines, an excellent complement to our story www.kff.org/public-opini...

Our Post-KFF poll reveals homeschool parents are far more likely to delay or skip vaccines for their children, as are White parents who identify as "very religious." Religiosity doesn't seem to play as big a role for other racial or ethnic groups www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Just 6% of U.S. parents say they are "anti-vaccine" and 8%-13% believe RFK Jr.'s false vaccine claims. But larger shares "don't know" enough to reject false claims or have other doubts about childhood vaccines - 26% think the CDC recommends too many shots www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

The poll — the most detailed recent look at the childhood vaccination practices and opinions of American parents — shows that 1 in 6 parents have delayed or skipped some vaccines for their children, excluding for coronavirus or flu Me, @sfcpoll.bsky.social @emgusk.bsky.social @lenasun.bsky.social

Meet the parents skipping or delaying vaccination: Our @washingtonpost.com @kff.org poll found they are more likely to home-school their children, be White and very religious, identify as Republican or be under 35 www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

We wanted to know what parents think about vaccines, the appeal of RFK Jr.'s arguments and how these shape their decisions to immunize their children. Excited to share the first story from our poll of 2,716 U.S. parents with the ace @kff.org polling team -> www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

I appreciate that the Journal also did a “no, really, it’s him” accompaniment.

NEW from an early release @kff.org / @washingtonpost.com poll: As FL moves to drop all school vaccine mandates, 8 in 10 parents nationally and in FL support the current vaccine mandates. Differing state laws could create a patchwork of guidance & confusion on what’s safe. www.kff.org/quick-take/m...

About 8 in 10 Florida parents support school vaccine mandates www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Thought this was notable — Bill Cassidy did raise concerns with RFK Jr during the hearing. "I would say, effectively, we're denying people vaccines," Cassidy said. But the press release his office just put out says nothing on Cassidy’s concerns. Instead, it emphasizes his praise for Trump.

NEW Large, bipartisan majority says government should make vaccines more available — many say RFK making them less so And even as vaccines have been politicized, majorities across party lines say gov't should encourage vaccinating children for things like MMR More: www.cbsnews.com/news/cbs-new...

A Washington Post-KFF poll finds 81% of parents support schools requiring measles and polio vaccines with religious/health exceptions, including 82% of parents in Florida. Survey was conducted July-August among 2,716 U.S. parents of children <18 www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Trump said D.C. Mayor Bowser's ratings have gone up for cooperating with his administration, citing unspecified data. Our mid-August Post-Schar School D.C. poll found Bowser's approval rating was 53%, same as in May. 48% said she should do more to oppose Trump www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Seeing much debate over Trump’s latest remarks on covid and RFK Jr Some relevant reporting Yesterday: Steve Bannon told WaPo (left) that he wanted Trump to post asap on TruthSocial, and his admin to push on vaccine data Today: Trump posts a TruthSocial (right), demanding more covid vaccine data

New: After a Tesla driver using Autopilot plowed into a Florida couple in 2019, killing a 22-year-old woman, crucial data detailing how the wreck unfolded was missing, unable to be located for years.

Notable to see Obama speaking out more

CNN correspondent right now citing several of our stories: “I think we are going to keep quoting the @washingtonpost.” @jaketapper: “A great paper.”

As something of a side note, RFK Jr. said twice today that the CDC website touts abortion as one of the greatest medical advancements. It does not, as @laurenweberhp.bsky.social & @caitlingilbert.bsky.social reported www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Scoop - the White House is tapping JIM O'NEILL to serve as acting head of CDC, people familiar tell me O'Neill has been serving as RFK Jr's deputy secretary. He has been vocally supportive of vaccines in the past, but also criticized Biden covid vax response. More at The Post:
