The Oct. 23 survey of likely voters underrepresents 2024 Trump voters by 7%, suggesting opposition is even stronger than the numbers indicate.

Catholic Cardinal Blase Cupich is defending a decision to give an award to a huge Planned Parenthood donor. Cardinal Blase Cupich defended the Archdiocese of Chicago’s decision to present its Nostra Aetate Award to billionaire businessman Michael Sacks, a major donor to abortion causes and the Planned Parenthood abortion business. Sacks will receive the award at an October 29 fundraiser for the formation of future Catholic priests, framing the criticism in terms of interreligious respect
