Your support helps us to tell the story
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.Most voters think the Conservatives can still win the election, according to today's Independent/Harris opinion poll, writes John Rentoul.
Despite a buoyant 27-point lead for Labour, our poll finds that two-thirds of voters - 69 per cent - say the Tories can still win. While only 17 per cent think the election is "certainly not over yet", half of the electorate - 52 per cent - say "while Labour are favourites there is still a slight chance" the Tories can win.
A further 20 per cent think that the Tories have "no chance".
Labour has an average 24-point lead in the six main polls, compared with 18 points before winning the Wirral South by-election three weeks ago,
