In addition to being deeply bad, the Washington Nationals are also profoundly unserious. defector.com/the-national...

As the Nationals currently operate, Alan Gottlieb — a longtime executive at Lerner Enterprises — serves as the COO of Lerner Sports Group. But according to current and former Nationals employees, Gottlieb doesn’t spend his entire workweek at Nationals Park because he also has responsibilities with the family’s real estate company, which is headquartered in Rockville, Maryland. That can leave department heads with the Nationals wondering when and whether they will get Gottlieb’s time and attention on matters they think are important. It’s less than ideal.
Wish I could say I was surprised by this but it actually explains a lot.

Republicans are more likely than Democrats to say White people, Evangelical Christians, men, and people who are religious face 'a lot of' or 'some' discrimination.
Democrats are more likely than Republicans to say this about 15 out of 20 groups included in the survey.
We took a broad look at social trust in America today. With a survey of almost 37,000 people we were able to look at levels of trust across the states and even in metro areas. Check out our new report here www.pewresearch.org/SocialTrust

Bar chart: Americans who see a smaller role for government are more likely to approve of Trump administration cuts
In this post, we look at the relationship between views of government responsibilities and views of the Trump administration's cuts to federal departments and agencies.
Those who see a smaller role for government are more likely to approve of the cuts, even after taking partisanship into account.
New: Americans see a role for the federal government in many domains, but some large partisan divisions persist
pewrsr.ch/4m3SORC
From Pew Research: 83% of Democrats say it is extremely or very important that Democratic elected officials push hard against Trump’s policies when they disagree; 74% say their elected officials are doing only a fair or poor job of this.

Column chart: The public’s economic outlook has grown more negative since February
In case you missed our Pew Research Center survey last week, 45% of Americans now think that economic conditions will be worse a year from now, up from 37% in February. 36% say economic conditions will be better a year from now.

Bar chart: Most Americans say the Trump administration would need to stop an action if a federal court ruled it illegal
An overwhelming majority of Democrats (91%) and most Republicans (65%) say that, if a federal court rules that an action by the Trump administration is illegal, the administration has to follow the court’s ruling and stop its action.

Bar graph: What do Americans like most – and least – about the Trump administration’s actions so far?
We got some interesting results from asking a pair of open ended questions in our new survey, one asking respondents what of the administration's actions so far they like the most and the other asking what they like the least.
Several topics appear on both lists.
www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...
Across ten issues included in the survey, including immigration and the economy, Americans are more likely to say they have little or no confidence in Trump than to say they are very or somewhat confident in him.
www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...
NEW from Pew Research Center: Trump's job approval rating falls to 40%, down 7 points since February.
Majorities disapprove of his administration's actions on tariffs, cutting government, and eliminating DEI from government.

Chart showing Donald Trump’s presidential job approval rating over time
Our new survey finds Trump with a higher approval rating than at any point in his first term - but his job ratings remain as polarized by party as ever.

New from Pew Research Center: The public is evenly split as to whether Trump will change the way the federal government works for the better or for the worse.

"The question then becomes: When that revenue arrives, will they put it back into payroll? And when is the right time?"
No. For these owners, never.

Our standard question for respondents' self-reported ideology is, "In general, would you describe your political views as ..." So this analysis doesn't include the extra nuance you're looking for; it's just about how Americans describe themselves.

Column chart: As in 2020, most Trump voters say their vote was for him in 2024
One aspect of the 2024 election that mirrored 2020: Trump voters in both years were much more likely to say their vote was *for* Trump rather than *against* his opponents. Yet Harris voters were about equally likely to say their vote was for Harris (49%) or against Trump (51%).
