A recent study conducted by psychologists at UC Irvine found more than a third of Americans say political differences contributed to the end of a relationship. And in a 2025 Pew survey, 56% said they had stopped talking to someone about political news because of something they said. Katy Tur speaks to Chad Kultgen who, along with his sister, decided to create a podcast where he records his political arguments with his parents.

The Pew Research Center just published a poll that showed that 44% of Muslims in America support Hamas (also known as the Islamic Resistance Movement). This large level of support in the Muslim community for a Jihadi terrorist organization is worrisome to say the least. It may seem difficult to understand how more than 4 in 10 Muslims in America could support an organization that launched a massacre that targeted unarmed civilians, slaughtering hundreds of women and children on October 7, 2023. However an examination of past polling data indicates a long-term trend of support for violent jihad. Nothing New In May of 2007, Pew did another poll of Muslims in America which revealed some disturbing views. When asked if suicide bombing of…Open
AI:A recent Pew Research Center poll reveals a deeply disturbing trend within the United States, showing that 44% of American Muslims support the terrorist group Hamas. This high level of support for a Jihadi organization follows the October 7 massacre and aligns with long-standing patterns of radicalization, including historical data showing significant percentages of the community supporting suicide bombings or Sharia law over American governance. The article highlights that Hamas is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood—an organization dedicated to global jihad—and notes critical ideological links between Hamas founders and Al Qaeda co-founder Sheikh Abdullah Yusuf Azzam. Given this widespread support for a group committed to violent…Open
Data: Pew Research Center ; Chart: Danielle Alberti/Axios The U.S. is losing standing abroad as President Trump's foreign policy fuels doubts about whether America can still be counted on, according to new polling.

Vice President JD Vance's memoir about his conversion to Catholicism, out Tuesday , puts a high-profile face on a small but distinctive slice of the U.S. Church. Why it matters: Parish reports have fueled talk of a Catholic revival. But a new Pew Research Center analysis found the Church loses eight former Catholics for every adult it gains through conversion. The converts it does attract tend to be whiter, more conservative, and more observant than "cradle Catholics," or those born into the faith. - "The story of how I regained my faith, of course, only happened because I had lost it to begin with," Vance said in an announcement about the book in March. "The interesting question that hangs over this book, and over my mind, is why I…
Latino voters have soured on President Trump after powering his 2024 comeback. Why it matters: Republicans hoped Trump's gains represented a realignment, but poll after poll suggests Latino voters are up for grabs in the midterms. Zoom in: Latino registered voters in 17 House swing districts remain highly fluid after Trump's 2024 breakthrough, according to a new TelevisaUnivision/Harris poll out Wednesday. - 52% say they are undecided or could still change their minds in the midterms. - 73% say they are merely "surviving" financially.

Politics Trump’s Evangelical Support Might Be Declining New polling shows a significant drop with this crucial part of the president’s base. When the U.S. began its war on Iran on February 28, the prominent American evangelical pastor Franklin Graham praised President Donald Trump “for giving the Iranian people a chance to be free,” noting that “we haven’t had a president who had the guts to take them on.” “Thank you Mr. President for standing up to bring this evil empire to an end,” Graham added. There seemed to be no daylight between his particular Christian good-vs.-evil perception of this war and the Trump…Open
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is wreaking havoc on Israel's standing with Americans as the Iran war supercharges a deterioration in relations with the U.S. Why it matters: Israel's polling collapse among younger Americans is hitting Congress, too. Lawmakers who started out staunchly pro-Israel are becoming increasingly vocal critics. - "We need to have a discussion about how to normalize that relationship and what change is necessary; there's no doubt about that," Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.) told Axios. Zoom in: Every Senate Democrat who's eyeing a 2028 presidential run voted against arms sales to Israel in votes earlier this week. - 40 Senate Dems voted on a resolution to block arms sales to Israel, up from just 15 on a…
