  • Omnibus June 2019 Dem Primary
    Democratic Dividing Lines Verified Voter Omnibus Survey N=484 Democrats or Democratic leaners June 22 - June 25, 2019 !X!1 Key Findings • Biden’s lead among 24 announced Democratic candidates has narrowed by 6-points since May to 32% of the Democratic vote. • Biden’s 6-point drop came with a concurrent 6-point gain by Elizabeth Warren to 11% of the Democratic vote, or 4- points behind Bernie Sanders who takes 15% of the Democratic vote. • Biden continues to lead both Sanders and Warren in head to head match-ups, but his lead has narrowed to 30-points from both Sanders and Warren, down from 36-points ahead of Sanders and 47-points ahead of Warren in May. • 73% of Democrats plan to watch the debates, or coverage of the debates. Ahead of the kickoff of tonight’s debates, we tested Democratic concern about two recent pieces of news about Biden — his flip flopping on the Hyde Amendment’s impact on access to abortion, and past associations with segregationists. • We found the Hyde Amendment resonates more strongly with Democratic voters, with 39% of Democrats concerned about Biden’s stance on the Hyde Amendment, and 22% concerned about his associations with segregationists. • Particularly concerned are women, African Americans, younger voters, and more educated voters. !2 Methodology • Using a voter file-matched online panel, we surveyed n=1,006 registered voters across the country from June 22 to June 25, 2019, with a sample of 484 Democrats or Democratic-leaning Independents. • With our third monthly tracking survey of 2019, we were able to confirm the voting history of participants and track changes in the attitudes and behaviors of key 2020 voters since our last survey of verified Democratic or Democratic-leaning Independent voters from May 20 to May 21, 2019.

  • Biden Is Only Leading Dem to Top Trump in Ohio, Quinnipiac University Poll Finds; Former V.P
    Peter A. Brown, Assistant Director (203) 535-6203 Rubenstein Pat Smith (212) 843-8026 FOR RELEASE: JULY 25, 2019 BIDEN IS ONLY LEADING DEM TO TOP TRUMP IN OHIO, QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY POLL FINDS; FORMER V.P. HAS BIG LEAD IN DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY Former Vice President Joseph Biden leads President Donald Trump 50 – 42 percent in the critical swing state of Ohio, the only leading Democratic candidate to top the Republican incumbent, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. The other leading Democratic contenders each are locked in a dead heat with President Trump, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll finds: 46 percent for Trump to Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders with 45 percent; Trump at 46 percent to Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren at 45 percent; 44 – 44 percent between Trump and California Sen. Kamala Harris; 44 – 44 percent between Trump and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg; 44 percent for Trump to 43 percent for New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker. Women, black voters and independent voters give Biden his lead in the matchup with Trump. Biden leads 53 – 40 percent among women, as men are split with 46 percent for Biden and 45 percent for Trump. White voters are divided, with 48 percent for Trump and 45 percent for Biden. Black voters go Democratic 84 – 8 percent. Independent voters go to Biden 55 – 32 percent. Republicans back Trump 86 – 10 percent as Biden leads 96 – 2 percent among Democrats. “Former Vice President Joseph Biden calls himself a blue-collar guy. With Ohio certainly a blue-collar state, it is no surprise he is the Democrat who runs best against President Donald Trump and is solidly ahead in the Democratic primary in the Buckeye State,” said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.

  • What's the Matter with Bill De Blasio?
    What’s the Matter With Bill de Blasio? | 1 Willful bungling of the coronavirus crisis cuts across ideologies and political parties. That’s the lesson that we learn from the story of Bill de Blasio. He is very different, across many different dimensions, than Donald Trump. But it turns out that he shares something important with Trump: a tendency to place personality over expertise. De Blasio’s initial reaction to the coronavirus was a lot more Donald Trump than Jay Inslee. Washington State Governor Inslee faced an outbreak at around the same time and responded decisively. De Blasio, like Trump, seemed more concerned about the economic impact of control measures than with the virus itself. At the beginning of March, De Blasio said the virus couldn’t be spread through casual contact in public places. A week later, as the disease was spreading rapidly in the city, he was still telling people to take basic precautions but otherwise go about their business. As evidence of the threat to the city grew, de Blasio continued to spread false optimism. He told New Yorkers to “go about their lives” if they weren’t sick. On March 10, he did reluctantly close gyms, but he made one final visit to his own gym before the closure. The message to New Yorkers until the middle of March was to take moderate precautions but not to change their everyday lives. By then, the disease was everywhere in the city. While Jay Inslee in Washington began to encourage social distancing early on, de Blasio actively discouraged it.

STRATEGIC STUDIES INSTITUTE The Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) is part of the U.S. Army War College and is the strategic-level study agent for issues related to national security and military strategy with emphasis on geostrate- gic analysis. The mission of SSI is to use independent analysis to conduct strategic studies that develop policy recommendations on: • Strategy, planning, and policy for joint and combined employment of military forces; • Regional strategic appraisals; • The nature of land warfare; • Matters affecting the Army’s future; • The concepts, philosophy, and theory of strategy; and • Other issues of importance to the leadership of the Army. Studies produced by civilian and military analysts concern topics having strategic implications for the Army, the Department of De- fense, and the larger national security community. In addition to its studies, SSI publishes special reports on topics of special or immediate interest. These include edited proceedings of conferences and topically-oriented roundtables, expanded trip re- ports, and quick-reaction responses to senior Army leaders. The Institute provides a valuable analytical capability within the Army to address strategic and other issues in support of Army par- ticipation in national security policy formulation.

  • Functional Departmentalism and Nonjudicial Interpretation: Who Determines Constitutional Meaning?
    08_JOHNSEN_FINALFMT.DOC 11/16/2004 12:21 PM FUNCTIONAL DEPARTMENTALISM AND NONJUDICIAL INTERPRETATION: WHO DETERMINES CONSTITUTIONAL MEANING? DAWN E. JOHNSEN* I INTRODUCTION One of the vibrant constitutional debates at the turn of the twenty-first cen- tury concerns enduring questions about the appropriate role of nonjudicial enti- ties—especially Congress and the President—in the development of constitu- tional meaning.1 The Supreme Court, of course, asserted its own authority to act on its interpretations of the Constitution two hundred years ago in Marbury v. Madison.2 Although academic debate over judicial review continues, the Court’s authority to review the constitutionality of acts of Congress and the President today is integral to our constitutional system. Judicial review, though, is distinct from judicial supremacy. As growing numbers of commentators note, the Marbury Court claimed relatively limited interpretive authority for the courts: to interpret and apply the Constitution only in the course of resolving justiciable cases and controversies. The Court did not purport to resolve whether and when fidelity to the Constitution re- quires Congress and the President to adhere to the Court’s interpretations as they exercise their own constitutional powers. Congress and the President, too, are constitutionally obligated to uphold, and thus must first interpret, the Constitution. How should they approach this responsibility? Should they follow relevant Supreme Court precedent, even precedent with which they disagree, or may they take official action premised Copyright © 2004 by Dawn E. Johnsen This Article is also available at http://www.law.duke.edu/journals/lcp. * Professor of Law, Indiana University School of Law—Bloomington.
