We asked people around the world to rate the morality and ethics of others in their country. The U.S. is the only place we surveyed where more adults describe the morality and ethics of others living in the country as bad than good. See our full morality report here: www.pewresearch.org/...

What is going to be the South’s impact on 2026 mid-terms? Alan Abramowitz (Emory) & John McGlennon (William and Mary) discuss their research in “The 2026 Midterm Elections in the South” Dems can’t move too much in the South, but enough of a national dynamic will have some impact #SoPoliticsSymp

A Political Earthquake Rattles the North Carolina Legislature #ncpol #ncga www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/u...

Not every vote is in (the outlined counties don't have >95% counted, and Maverick hasn't reported at all), but this shows the swing between Harris' margin in '24 and the Dem margin in yesterday's primary turnout. You can see in south Texas the shifts were >100%.

Jasmine Crockett concedes to James Talarico this morning: “With the primary behind us, Democrats must rally around our nominee. I'm committed to doing my part and will continue working to elect Democrats up and down the ballot." #TxSen

Here's the letter that caused Thom Tillis to erupt at Kristi Noem. The DHS inspector general claims DHS leaders "systematically obstructed" his inquiries, including in something related to a "specific pending criminal investigation." (confirming scoop from WSJ's Tarini Parti and Josh Dawsey)

An early morning reflection post after a late night of primary results from @bowtiepolitics.bsky.social #ncpol open.substack.com/pub/ncpoliti...

2 votes. #ncpol

So how did Holladay do it? He focused, like all successful Dems in red and purple districts these days, on affordability—but it had special resonance in Arkansas.

2 precincts left & a 172 vote margin. This is a fine print election: canvass and recounts are going to decide it--not whatever we see tonight. #nc26 #ncpol

172 votes folks. 172. With 2 precincts left. #ncpol #NCSD26

Just going to put this right here for future reference. #sd26 #recount www.ncleg.net/enactedlegis...

Now with ~93% of the precincts in: Ballots cast in Democratic US Senate contest: 766K Ballots cast in Republican US Senate contest: 606K Difference: 160K Democrats 56% Republicans 44% #ncpol

With Dallas early vote now in, Crockett's path to victory looks gone. She needed 80%+ of the vote there to make up for Talarico running up margins in Austin, San Antonio, and the rural + western counties. Only got 60%. 2026 - 2020 swing hasn't changed all night docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

90% of NC precincts reporting Ballots cast for Democratic US Senate primary: 755K Ballots cast for Republican US Senate primary: 603K 152K difference #ncpol

with 6 precincts left in Guilford

Oh boy #ncpol

80% of NC’s precincts have reported as of 10:07 PM. Democratic US Senate contest = 684K Republican US Senate contest = 572K That’s a difference of over 111K votes to the Democrats—who basically had a coronation contest for Cooper. #ncpol

Now: Democratic US Senate ballots = 671K Republican US Senate ballots = 556K #ncpol

We are working our way to 2/3 of NC precincts reporting and one thing that has stood out to me: More Democratic primary ballots cast (613K) than Republican (501K) so far. Something to watch. #ncpol

This is the race that all #ncpol is watching very, very closely:

And here we go #ncpol

463K votes so far in #ncpol primary, and the US Senate candidates who are favored are dominating so far:
