28% of Democrats view the Supreme Court favorably, down 18 points since Jan. and nearly 40 points since 2020. There is now a 45 percentage point partisan gap in favorable views of the Court - far wider than at any other point in 35 years of polling pewrsr.ch/3B4mMzn

The share of Americans who say tensions between China and Taiwan are a very serious problem for the U.S. has gone up 8 points since March. Concerns about China's military power have also grown over this time period (+7) pewrsr.ch/3Dbw8up

Interesting tidbit from "Your Local Epidemiologist" newsletter about RSV (which all my fellow parents seem to be dealing with): Latest Dept of Labor data found work absences due to childcare problems hit a record high last month—higher than during the past 2 years of pandemic
