Poll: Trump Leads Biden by 10 Points
A Washington Post/ABC poll showed that if the election were held today, Donald Trump would beat President Biden 52% to 42%. The Post downplayed its own poll, calling the result a statistical “outlier.”
However, a separate NBC News poll showed that President Biden’s disapproval rating has now hit the highest mark of his presidency, with 56% disapproving. The slippage was consistent across demographics, including younger voters, Latinos, and independents.
In the Post/ABC poll, Biden’s age was cited repeatedly, with 70% saying he’s too old. About 50% say the same of Trump.
Only 30% approve of Biden’s economic performance in the Post survey, and his rating is even lower for immigration, with only 23% approving.
UPS Attempts to Reduce Package Theft
UPS has deployed a new weapon in its battle against “porch piracy” package theft, using a combination of delivery history and AI algorithms to give every delivery address a confidence score for the likelihood of theft.
Using “Delivery Defense,” those addresses with low confidence scores are asked to consider alternate options, including in-store pickup or pick up directly from a UPS store.
The theft of items left outside people’s front door has reached staggering levels. Nearly 80% of Americans have been affected, with 260 million packages stolen in 2022.
Atheist Group Warns Auburn University
A group baptism of hundreds of students at a lake (see photos) near Auburn University that included Auburn football coach Hugh Freeze and other coaches has drawn fire from an atheist group that claims the event violated the Constitution’s church-state divide.
The baptism took place last week as students gathered at a lake after a “Unite Auburn” worship event. At one point, Coach Freeze got in the water and is shown in a video clip helping baptize one of his players.
The Freedom From Religion Foundation, an activist atheist group, wrote a “warning” letter to Auburn, calling the coaches’ involvement, as school officials, a violation of the Constitution. One legal scholar called that “a twisted interpretation of the 1st Amendment.”
