- CBS News poll: Big majorities reject book bans Most say teaching U.S. history of race promotes understanding Read it here:
- With most describing him as “tough”, "energetic," "focused," and "effective" - and as doing what he'd promised in the campaign - President Donald Trump has started his term with net positive marks from Americans overall. tinyurl.com/msx8sjjb
- Most viewers who tuned in say Trump’s speech made them feel “hopeful” and “proud.” Most speech viewers described the president as "presidential, "inspiring," and more "unifying” than "divisive." A big majority also called it “entertaining.”

- cbsn.ws/3q4Xmdi Joe Biden gets good marks overall for the job he is doing handling the coronavirus outbreak, as well as his job as president generally. 64% of Americans think he is doing a good job handling the outbreak, and 61% approve of the job he's doing as president.
- Harris has just the slightest of edges across the battlegrounds (it was 50-50 in Aug) and is now up 4 pts nationally over Trump. % saying economy is good has ticked up. That, along w/ a debate voters say was net positive for her, has helped Harris. It remains a contest either
