A fresh Emerson College Polling/The Hill survey shows that Hoosiers are sticking by their man. A whopping 57% of likely voters in Indiana are throwing their support behind former President Donald Trump for the 2024 election, while the vice president, Kamala Harris, limps along with just 40%. Surprisingly, a mere 2% of voters remain undecided, likely pondering whether to back the familiar or the flailing.
The numbers reveal that Indiana is echoing the sentiments of 2020, with Trump maintaining the same level of support as last election. Meanwhile, Harris is shadowing the ghost of Joe Biden’s previous performance in the state, where he snagged 41% of the vote. To further illustrate the dismal leadership of the current administration, only 28% of Indiana voters approve of Biden’s job performance, a staggering 64% expressing outright disapproval. If the scales tipped any further, they might just topple completely.
The polling also found that an overwhelming 88% of those surveyed describe themselves as “extremely motivated” to vote next year, while another 8% claim they are “very motivated.” That should put to rest any doubt about the Midwestern resolve. Notably, this high engagement from conservative voters signals a readiness to rectify the course of a nation that has veered alarmingly under Biden’s watch.
In other news from the Sunshine State, U.S. Customs and Border Protection is making strides to tackle the ever-increasing challenges at the southern border. They plan to launch a new surveillance balloon, named Argos 2, off Cudjoe Key in Florida. This marvel of technology can float high above the ground, keeping a watchful eye on illicit activities such as drug trafficking and illegal immigration. Those who think this might infringe upon their American liberties should realize that a secure border is a fundamental right—one that the Biden administration has unfortunately neglected.

In a show of bipartisan recognition, House Speaker Mike Johnson will present Congressional Gold Medals to the “Hidden Figures,” a group of talented women instrumental in the success of the American space race. These trailblazing mathematicians deserve their moment in the spotlight after decades of acknowledgment that was far too late. Surrounding Johnson at this event will be various lawmakers, indicating that even in an increasingly polarized Congress, some issues remain universally respected.
Lastly, Ballotpedia is rolling out a brand-new toolkit to help voters navigate the upcoming elections. This resource is designed to ensure voters are armed with the facts they need to make informed decisions come November. In a climate where misinformation runs rampant, it’s refreshing to see a straightforward initiative aimed at helping conservatives keep their voting power intact. One can only hope that with this aid, more Americans will come to realize the importance of their vote and how drastically it can shape the nation’s future.
