Crockett Edges Talarico by Double Digits in Texas Senate Dem Primary, UT Poll Finds

Dallas U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett leads Austin state Rep. James Talarico by 12 points (56% to 44%) in the Texas Senate Democratic primary, per a University of Texas Texas Politics Project poll of 369 voters conducted Feb. 2–16 with a ±5.1-point margin; Crockett dominates among Black voters, seniors and voters without a college degree, while Talarico has a white-voter edge, and a January UT/Hobby School poll had Crockett ahead by 8 points. On the Republican side, Paxton and Cornyn were neck‑and‑neck, with other GOP races showing potential runoffs.

Canada-U.S. Ties Strained by New Poll and Floor-Crossing Drama

A POLITICO poll conducted with Public First finds growing Canadian distrust of the United States—55% say the U.S. does not share their values and 57% say it cannot be relied upon in a crisis—while Americans view Canada more positively; Canadians now see the U.S. as a greater threat to global peace than Russia. The Playbook Canada episode also covers Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux’s floor crossing and Conservative MP Scott Aitchison’s call from Milan to talk Olympics, housing, and Parliament.

Public backs data centers, but price bumps and Trump framing reshape support

A POLITICO poll of about 2,093 U.S. adults finds roughly half support building more data centers when not tied to any political figure, but support declines as monthly electric bills rise, with a tipping point around $10–$25 and strong opposition at $50. Framing the expansion around Donald Trump and AI further reduces support among Democrats and independents. Voters cite electricity costs as the top concern, while knowledge gaps persist about data centers, and proximity to homes affects views (NIMBY dynamics). The findings suggest data centers are becoming a politically salient issue that could influence midterm voting and policy debates.

Poll finds voters skeptical of White House account in Alex Pretti case

A Quinnipiac poll shows a majority of voters doubt the Trump administration's account of the Alex Pretti fatal shooting; Democrats overwhelmingly view the explanations as not credible (about 93% say not honest, 2% find it credible), while Republicans are more divided though a majority still trust the narrative. The incident is under DOJ/FBI review with CBP also probing its actions, and voters across parties back independent investigations and reforms to ICE/CBP as immigration policy remains a divisive issue while Trump’s handling of immigration has waned in popularity.

Democrats Bet on Immigration as the Next Electoral Lever

Democrats are shifting to embrace immigration and border-security messaging as a potential midterm lever, arguing Trump’s aggressive agenda has shifted public sentiment and a unified stance—focused on accountability for ICE and measured reform—could win back Latino voters and help swing House and Senate races. The challenge is crafting a cohesive message, avoiding past pitfalls, and aligning it with DHS funding fights and the broader political battlefield ahead.

Poilievre's leadership tested as Conservatives seek broader appeal

Canada's Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre faces a crucial leadership review at the Calgary convention, with delegates expected to back him but public polls showing a polarized view of his leadership and questions about widening the party's appeal, especially on the US and Trump. The test follows last year's election defeat, a later bid to redefine policy, and signals of possible cooperation with Liberals on select domestic issues.

GOP loses grip on immigration as interior crackdown sparks backlash

For years Republicans rode a winning line on immigration, but intensified interior enforcement including Minnesota incidents and public backlash have eroded support for Trump’s deportation agenda. Recent polls show many voters think ICE should be reined in and that the approach has gone too far, giving Democrats a potential edge ahead of midterms and forcing the GOP to rethink its messaging.

Poll memo urges Dems to use leverage on ICE ahead of shutdown

A memo from the Searchlight Institute, circulated among Senate Democrats, argues they should use their leverage to push broad, bipartisan-friendly reforms to ICE as DHS funding talks loom toward a possible partial government shutdown. The January poll cited in the memo finds 58% of likely midterm voters want ICE reined in and favor reforms over abolition, with voters calling for lawful, targeted enforcement and opposing actions like detaining citizens, entering homes without warrants, or lacking clear uniforms. Written by Adam Jentleson, the memo urges Democrats to secure reforms with broad public backing rather than abolishing the agency, as they navigate funding negotiations and political pressure from both parties.

Most Voters See Middle-Class Life Slipping Out of Reach as Costs Build Up

A New York Times/Siena poll of 1,625 registered voters (Jan 12–17, 2026) finds broad economic anxiety and a widespread view that a middle-class lifestyle is out of reach, driven by rising housing, education, health care and retirement costs; while most can cover basics, majorities worry about affordability, with two-thirds saying a middle-class life is out of reach and 77% saying it’s harder to achieve than a generation ago, though sentiment is slightly improved from a year ago and older voters feel less strain.

Trump has escalated ICE presence and threatened drastic actions, while Democrats debate reforms; opinions remain highly polarized, complicating messages on border policy and public safety.

Trump team reconsiders hardline immigration after poll backlash

Private GOP polling shows support for Trump’s immigration hardline is waning, prompting advisers to quietly discuss recalibrating the White House’s approach. While public messaging remains hawkish, some aides worry the optics of ICE raids are turning off independents and moderates, signaling internal doubt without a clear policy shift yet amid ongoing escalation and political pressure.
