From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Jeremy Corbyn's party has hit a new campaign high in the polls – but still lags Theresa May's Conservatives by 14 per cent, a new poll says.
Labour closed the gap by three points in a Panelbase poll released on Tuesday, putting them on 33 per cent with the Tories on 47 per cent.
The change, which is within the margin of error of the previous poll, appears to suggest the Labour vote is continuing to gradually trend upwards.
But with a huge Conservative lead and just three weeks to go until the general election Labour faces an uphill struggle.
Two polls at the weekend put Labour on 32 per cent, a figure that was also at the time a campaign high, though others have the party lower.
Ed Miliband won 30.4 per cent of the UK vote share at the 2015 general election, though opinion polls in the UK show the poll share for Great Britain only, excluding Northern Ireland from their calculations.
Mr Corbyn launched the party's manifesto in Bradford on Tuesday, unveiling plans for tax rises for the richest 5 per cent of the population to fund spending pledges and the nationalisation of utilities and railways.
The poll, which was conducted before the launch of Labour's manifesto, had top line voting intention figures with the Tories on 47 per cent down 1, Labour on 33 per cent up three, the Lib Dems on 7 per cent down one, and Ukip on 5 per cent unchanged.
