The report has some great immigration questions I haven't seen before, showing more room for agreement than usually assumed. 90% of Trump voters agree that "controlled immigration can be good for America" and 70% that it should be easier for people to immigrate legally (but harder to come illegally)

Charlie Kirk’s murder is an inexcusable act of political violence and a personal tragedy. A wife no longer has a husband, and two young children no longer have a father.
