The poll, which was conducted by The Hill/HarrisX, surveyed 933 registered voters from July 3 to July 4. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.2 percentage points. According to the poll, 43 percent of respondents said they would vote for Biden if the presidential election were held today, while 39 percent sided with Trump. Among the remaining percent of voters, 5 percent said they would vote for someone else, 5 percent said they wouldn’t vote, and 8 percent said they were not sure....

“In one 24-hour period this weekend, 23 U.S. military flights, including 14 C-17s, nine C-130 flights, left comfortably carrying 3,900 passengers,” he said in a live briefing to the public from the White House. “We see no reason why this template will not be kept up. During the same period, our military facilitated another 35 charter flights carrying an additional 4,000 evacuees to other countries that are taking them out....

“To all the people of England, all the people in United Kingdom, our hearts go out to you. You were fortunate to have had her for 70 years, we all were. The world’s better for her,” Biden said, according to Reuters. The president’s comments in the U.K. come one day before the queen’s funeral, which he and many other world leaders are expected to attend. Meanwhile, King Charles II welcomed leaders in a reception ahead of the funeral, Reuters reported....

The Argentine has agreed a two-year deal to replace interim coach Franck Passi, while Luis Campos has joined Lille as the club’s new sporting director. Bielsa resigned two days after agreeing to take charge of Lazio in July 2016 but the former Marseille and Athletic Bilbao boss is keen to get started at Stade Pierre-Mauroy. “I’m glad to be here,” Bielsa told reporters at a news conference on Tuesday....

The Kentucky and Baylor game Dec. 6 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas will be one for the night owls with a 10 p.m. ET start. But the most anticipated game of all on Dec. 10 between Florida and Kansas is at a much more palatable 7 p.m. ET start time. Given the size disparity between the two leagues, the four SEC teams you won't see playing as part of this series this year are Auburn, Arkansas, Georgia and LSU....

With an eye on next year’s World Cup at home in less than a year, Cricket Australia’s schedule has given the national players a small window to appear in their premier T20 domestic competition. Speaking to the media, Smith sounded excited about the opportunity to play for the Sydney Sixers again. Australia play their final ODI match against India on January 19 after which Smith is expected to fly back to play for the Sixers on January 23 against Brisbane Heat....

It’s the same bunch that reached the New Year’s Day Six in 2016. Penn State, the defending conference champion, could take the next step under James Franklin. Urban Meyer and Ohio State will look to reach the College Football Playoff for the third time in four seasons. Michigan lost three games by a combined five points under Jim Harbaugh in 2016, and Wisconsin lost three one-score games against those Big Ten East powerhouses under Paul Chryst....

With Bridges back in the lineup, the Spartans are not only the most talented team in the Big Ten, but a national championship contender as well. Minnesota and Northwestern return most of their rosters from teams that advanced to the NCAA Tournament last season, while Purdue also has a chance to compete for the conference’s top spot, but the Spartans are, at least on paper, far and away the best team in the Big Ten....

Biden lost his majority approval rating in mid-August 2021 as the American withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan gave way to the Taliban’s takeover. He’s continued to see a decline over the last year and the president is struggling significantly to win Americans over as the U.S. faces a 40-year high in inflation, people struggle to buy homes and threats of a recession loom. After seeing a declining approval rating, Biden’s popularity sank to its lowest point of his presidency, reaching an average of 37....

In a statement, Biden’s campaign chief Jen O’Malley Dillon said the president trying to “shut down the counting of duly cast ballots was outrageous, unprecedented, and incorrect.” She said it is an effort to remove the democratic rights of American citizens. “Never before in our history has a president of the United States sought to strip Americans of their voice in a national election,” Dillon said. “The counting will not stop....

Notably absent is the most important agenda item: confronting the emir about the Qatar regime’s appalling human rights record. This is utterly unacceptable. Human rights organizations have extensively documented Qatar’s long record of glaring human rights abuses, and an American president cannot simply ignore them in order to service his own foreign policy agenda (whatever that agenda may be). Despite pledging a series of reforms to their migrant worker labor system in 2017 (which were only made under pressure from international labor organizations), Qatar has not followed through on any of these commitments....

The president said $5.5 billion would go toward a program that will make these bridges “safer and more useful.” Making the bridges more functional, Biden added, would provide communities with greater economic opportunities. “These are the bridges that are often overlooked when decisions are being made, but they are essential for small towns, rural towns, farmers to get their products to market, [to] small businesses to be able to serve customers,” he said....

Communism has long left the Kremlin, but the ideology remains vibrant in the Latin American island just 90 miles off the coast of Florida. Washington and Havana managed to overcome their differences to pursue a rapprochement under former President Barack Obama, but Donald Trump, his successor, decided to double down on the 60-year embargo against Cuba. Since coming to office early last year, Biden, who once backed the U.S.-Cuba thaw years ago as Obama’s vice president, has not only in effect maintained the “maximum pressure” approach pursued by his rival, but expanded upon it with new sanctions targeting Cuban officials and institutions accused of human rights abuses....

“It’s not that we have a gasoline shortage,” Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm told reporters at the White House on Tuesday. “We have this supply crunch, and things will be back to normal soon.” Across the Southeast, long lines have formed at gas stations, and fuel pumps have run dry as people have scurried to fill their tanks in case of disruptions. Granholm compared the run on gasoline to the frenzied purchasing at the start of the coronavirus pandemic last spring, which cleaned out stores’ supplies of several common household items....

“Stacey Abrams helped Biden steal the 2020 Election in Georgia but now she won’t even share a stage with Joe,” Trump said in a statement. “Stacey knows that Biden actually lost BIG in Georgia, and in the 2020 Presidential Election as a whole, and he’s been so terrible she now wants nothing to do with him.” “Even the woke, radical left realizes that Joe Biden’s Administration is an embarrassment!”...

The midterm elections are still four months away, and the next Congress won’t be sworn in until January. But Republicans have already started laying the groundwork for aggressive oversight of the Biden administration, in anticipation of their expected return to power in the House. The president’s legislative agenda would face stiff resistance in a divided Congress. And it would be all but dead on arrival if Republicans also manage to capture the Senate in November....

Biffle, who has struggled this season, doesn’t have a sponsor signed for next year, so just how long this contract runs is still to be determined. But he’ll be there at least through 2016, and give the organization a veteran 44-year-old driver to go along with 26-year-old Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and 23-year-old Trevor Bayne. With the departure of Carl Edwards, Biffle’s contract extension should help stabilize an organization in a bit of flux....

You’d have to be really desperate to want to join this comedy show. BENDER: Who was affected most by Big 12 decision? The teams that had hoped to become Big 12 members are disappointed because there are tens of millions of dollars of difference between membership in the American Athletic Conference and the Big 12. But the people at Cincinnati, Connecticut, Houston and Memphis at least can console themselves that they’re only spectators to this trainwreck....

In July, the average price for everyday items like gas, groceries, and housing was eight and a half percent higher than the previous year. Those numbers feel even more stark when combined with the National Retail Federation’s prediction that retailers should see six to eight percent growth in 2022. But that might just scratch the surface. A recent study by Accountable.US found that big box stores like Kroger, CVS, and T....

The ‘#GiveDivasAChance’ movement was an eye-opener to the WWE team in regards to how the Divas are booked. The success of ‘Total Divas’ also makes the WWE officials feel that the Divas deserve more. They are looking forward to extend the bar to the female competitors. The issue at hand is the differences in portrayals of Divas on different platforms. The Divas are projected as strong personalities on the E!...
