Poll Shock: Voters Want Jobs, Politicians Push Culture Wars

Republican voters are demanding lawmakers focus on the economy, not more culture wars. A new poll shows inflation, jobs, and infrastructure far outrank social fights, leaving legislators increasingly out of step. Meanwhile, over half of voters remain undecided in the 2026 governor and Senate races. Plus, the courts lock Alabama’s congressional map in place until 2030, partisan map-rigging grabs headlines in Texas, and the state faces a moral crossroads over freedom, power, and truth.
