Trump Winning the Opioid Fight, Says Prescriptions Down 34%

President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that opioid prescriptions are down by a third as more people enter addiction treatment. Trump said he persuaded China to reel in fentanyl, a synthetic opioid responsible for killing tens of thousands of Americans, and that his criminal-justice reform bill has helped 16,000 inmates into drug-abuse treatment.  Moreover, the number of people receiving medication-assisted treatment has risen to more than 60% under his administration. “We will never stop until our job is done, and then maybe we’ll have to find something new,” Mr. Trump told the Rx Drug Abuse and Heroin Summit in Atlanta.

Bernie Sanders Ahead of Trump in These Key States, New Poll Shows By Jay Greenberg

Bernie Sanders Ahead of Trump in These Key States, New Poll Shows

2020 hopeful Bernie Sanders' campaign has released an internal poll that shows the Vermont senator beating President Donald Trump in three key states. According to socialist Sanders, polling shows him leading President Trump in hypothetical matchups in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. The internal data released to the press by Bernie's team shows Sanders is up by 11 points in Michigan, ten in Wisconsin and leading in Pennsylvania by eight points. The poll did not include a scenario in which a third-party candidate like former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz is also on the ballot, nor did it measure Democratic candidates against the president in head-to-head matchups. Ben Tulchin, Sanders' pollster, argues that the results still indicate that Sen. Sanders is in a uniquely strong position to challenge Trump. "I don’t think it’s any generic Democrat fits the mold here,” he told NBC News. “Trump is vulnerable here, but it has to be for the right kind of Democrat who has real strengths and can win these three states.” "I don’t think any other candidate is as well positioned as Bernie is in these three states.” Some data points the campaign highlighted include that, across all three states, a majority of voters support Medicare for All — a platform that's becoming increasingly popular among Democratic presidential candidates.

Most Americans Believe Climate Change Will Cause 'Extinction of Humanity' By Jay Greenberg

Most Americans Believe Climate Change Will Cause 'Extinction of Humanity'

Three out of four Americans believe that Climate Change will eventually cause the extinction of humanity, according to the results of a new poll. In a bid to find out how much “climate anxiety” people carry, a new survey of 2,000 people found that almost half of Americans think climate change will lead to the end of the world within the next 200 years. The research also found that one in five millennials think the world will be destroyed by Climate Change in their own lifetime. The study, conducted by OnePoll on behalf of The Recycling Partnership, found that most Americans are concerned about climate health, with 96 percent of those surveyed saying they’re worried about Climate Change in some form. More than half of Americans believe they'll witness significant changes in the world due to Climate Change in their lifetime, either from sea levels rising or their regional climate increasing by a few degrees Fahrenheit. In fact, over one in three Americans (34 percent) feel that Climate Change will have a direct impact on the way they live their lives. And no matter how skeptical people may seem, six out of ten Americans say they wouldn't consider buying property in a location that climate scientists predict will eventually be underwater due to Climate Change.
