The Politico/Morning Consult survey released Wednesday found 46 percent of registered voters would support the eventual Republican candidate compared with 37 percent who would back Biden for a second term. Among independent voters—a key voting bloc for Biden in 2020 that he’s lost support with over the course of his first year in office—the generic Republican candidate would have a 20-point lead over Biden. But the poll also showed Biden faring better with prominent GOP figures....

Biden penned a New York Times op-ed in March 2016—just weeks after the death of Justice Antonin Scalia—which accused Senate Republicans that year of neglecting their “Constitutional duty” by stonewalling President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee until after the November general election. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell cited a so-called “Biden rule” as justification for delaying Merrick Garland’s nomination, pointing to a 1992 Biden speech that demanded President Bush wait until after that year’s election to appoint a Supreme Court replacement....

A new poll shows Trump and Democrat nominee Joe Biden almost in a dead heat among Hispanics in Miami-Dade County. The Bendixen & Amandi and Miami Herald poll show Trump with 47 percent of the Hispanic vote, and Biden with 46 percent. Although the poll shows Biden with an overall lead of 55 percent to Trump’s 38 percent in Miami-Dade, the overall numbers show more favorably to Trump than the exit polls of 2016, which had Hillary Clinton winning by 30 percentage points....

The survey, which was released Thursday found just 36 percent of Americans approve of Biden’s job performance while 53 percent of respondents disapproved of the president’s performance—the lowest rating he’s received in a Quinnipiac national poll so far. Republicans and independents largely disapproved of Biden, 94 percent and 56 percent, respectively. Over eight of 10 Democrats who responded to the poll, on the other hand, backed the job the president’s done so far....

St. Louis-based U.S. District Judge Matthew Schelp issued the preliminary injunction for workers at Medicare- and Medicare-certified medical facilities in Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming. The Associated Press reported that the court order stated that the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid had no clear authority from Congress to enact the mandate for its facilities. The federal mandate affects about 17 million health care workers in the approximately 76,0000 health care facilities nationwide that get their funding from government health programs....

This figure marks the lowest on record for the one-year mark of any U.S. president this century. But the full scope of the U.S. military presence here remains difficult to ascertain, frustrating analysts who seek to understand the course of Biden’s stated desire to depart from the focus of his predecessors on open-ended conflicts in the region. The troop figure was provided to Newsweek by a spokesperson for Central Command (CENTCOM), which oversees U....

Harris, a Democrat from California, is set to visit Orlando and Jacksonville to celebrate the first day of early in-person voting, The Hill reported. The events mark her first public appearances since the campaign announced Thursday that multiple staffers tested positive for COVID-19. Harris’s return to the campaign trail is a sure sign that the Biden team is not slowing down, even as nationwide polling continues to place the Democratic candidate ahead of President Donald Trump....

Ice Cube founded the Big 3 back in 2017. Initially, there was a minimum age limit set at 30 years old, but that has since been dropped to 22. In the league’s first season, there were a few big names that suited up, such as Nate Robinson, Metta World Peace, Baron Davis and Amar’e Stoudemire. Today, the Big 3 boasts talented rosters filled with NBA and international players. But this isn’t your traditional three-on-three league operating under FIBA rules....

There seems to be huge confusion regarding Sting’s appearance at WWE SummerSlam. Despite previous plans to use him in a 6-man tag team match at the PPV, both PWInsider.com and The Wrestling Observer are reporting that plans for Sting to wrestle have been scrapped. Original PPV plans called for Sting to team with Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose to face The Wyatt Family. The idea was to introduce Sting as a surprise entrant about a week or two before from the event, likely as the mystery third partner in Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose vs....

A business connected to a Bucks investor donated a huge sum to a super PAC supporting Gov. Scott Walker’s presidential campaign one day before the governor began a push for $250 million in public funding for a arena, according to The Capital Times.

The cavalcade of fight announcements has been the inverse of trying to sneak some bad news in on a Friday afternoon when everyone has already packed up their things and are looking forward to the weekend — a calculated move designed to draw the attention away from the challenges facing the promotion at the moment, while simultaneously making the upcoming UFC slate the talk of MMA Twitter right as the competition is readying to roll out its biggest show to date....

While Northwestern struggled on offense, Tennessee quarterback Josh Dobbs had a terrific game. He ran for two touchdowns and three for 166 yards. Tennessee improved to 9-4, atoning for early-season struggles and showing continued progress under coach Butch Jones. The Vols won 17 games the past two seasons. The game was a letdown for Northwestern, which finished 10-3. It had one long drive all day and failed to control Dobbs and the Vols....

That doesn’t mean our fight will be easy. The outdated Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act provides carte blanche immunity to Big Tech and allows these giants to circumvent Americans’ First Amendment right to free speech. What would have been dismissed a decade ago as paranoid dystopian fiction—a handful of technology companies such as Facebook, YouTube and Twitter effectively seizing control of the American public square—is now our own grim reality....

At least for now. The Houston Chronicle reported Oklahoma and Texas are interested in joining the Southeastern Conference, news that re-ignited realignment and superconference talk across college football. Newly-appointed Big Ten adviser Barry Alvarez had a simple question when he read the report: “Why?” “It caught everyone by surprise,” Alvarez said to a small group of reporters at Big Ten Media Day on Thursday. “It really hasn’t struck me one way or the other....

Real Madrid will almost certainly have a red ring around Saturday in their calendar as they play at home against minnows SD Eibar, who on Tuesday won for the first time in 11 games, reports Xinhua. FC Barcelona face what could be their most difficult away game of the season as they travel to play an in-form Sevilla. Real kick off the weekend and will be without James Rodriguez and Tony Kroos due to their accumulation of yellow cards, while winger Gareth Bale is a doubt with a foot injury....

Three new state polls published Wednesday found Biden leading Trump by single digits in Arizona, Ohio and Wisconsin. In two of the three polled states, the presumptive Democratic nominee’s lead was outside the margin of error. Among voters in Arizona, Biden was found to have a 4-point lead over the president, with 46 percent of state voters telling pollsters they would back the Democratic candidate. Eleven percent said they were either voting for a third party candidate, not voting at all, or still undecided....

It is for this reason that in his brief, no questions-allowed White House remarks on Monday, the president created the ultimate straw man, defending the decision to withdraw rather than his disastrously executed withdrawal itself. Waging war in Afghanistan—the Taliban having harbored the al-Qaeda jihadist group responsible for the September 11, 2001 attacks—was an eminently reasonable decision at the time. We should have struck al-Qaeda and its Taliban protectors with such shock and awe that neither would ever dare so much as think to touch an American again....

For one thing, Russia has objected to this encroachment almost to the point of paranoia, regarding it as a threat to its own security interests. This is particularly true in the former Soviet states of Ukraine and Georgia. With about 130,000 Russian troops currently gathered near Ukraine’s border, the state of affairs in that part of the world could hardly be any more fraught. Even in the face of this crisis, however, U....
