Mark Rozell: For Earle-Sears, cribbing Youngkin’s 2021 playbook is risky
It appears that Winsome Earle-Sears is modeling her campaign on the one Gov. Glenn Youngkin used successfully four years ago, right down to wedge issues she’s betting heavily on. It’s a risky wager.

Trump said D.C. Mayor Bowser's ratings have gone up for cooperating with his administration, citing unspecified data. Our mid-August Post-Schar School D.C. poll found Bowser's approval rating was 53%, same as in May. 48% said she should do more to oppose Trump www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

This poll from my school shows that 79% of DC residents oppose Trump's actions on law enforcement. 78% feel safe. Crime was already declining. Trump's response: a justice dept. investigation of DC police data. And, more boots!

My Dean @markjrozell.bsky.social is quoted in the analysis below:
We asked 604 D.C. residents about Trump’s takeover. Here’s what they said.
Though crime continues to be a concern, most residents strongly oppose Trump’s actions and don’t think they’ll make D.C. safer, a Washington Post-Schar School poll found.
