A new Pew Research Center survey, taken before this week, found that vast majorities of religious (and non-religious) Americans say abortion *should be legal* in at least some situations. White evangelicals, as usual, are lagging behind everyone else when it comes to compassion.

Dems' Project 2025 focus appears to have penetrated somewhat. YouGov shows Dems view it unfavorably 64-8. More to the point: Independents view it unfavorably by a wide margin, too: 38-7. Key proposals are quite unpopular. (via David H. Montgomery)
