- Nearly half of voters say the recent rescue of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) hurt their confidence in the economy, which could have political consequences.
- More voters now trust Democrats to handle Social Security, even as a majority agree President Joe Biden is “lying shamelessly” about the issue.
- Reports that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is seeking a grand jury indictment of former President Donald Trump have the electorate clearly divided over the possibility of an unprecedented prosecution.
