What's the Happiest Country on Earth? Jon Clifton & Julie Ray, Gallup The latest World Happiness Report has some unhappy news for Americans.

Georgia: Trump Edges Biden by 4 Percentage Points Marist Institute for Public Opinion In Georgia, where President Joe Biden defeated former President Donald Trump by about two-tenths of a percentage point in 2020, Trump now edges Biden by four points among Georgia registered voters in this year’s presidential re-match. Since 2020, Trump has gained ground among younger voters in the state. While Biden retains a wide lead over Trump among Black voters, Trump has made significant inroads among these voters.

In North Carolina’s governor’s race, only two percentage points separate Democrat Josh Stein and Republican Mark Robinson.
