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.THE LIBERAL Democrats were poised to push the Tories into third place last night in an opinion poll showing the Conservatives' support continuing to fall, writes Colin Brown.
The poll by Mori put Labour on 47 (down 2) the Conservatives on 26 (down 2) and the Liberal Democrats on 23 (up 3).
The findings from a survey for the Times of 1,917 voters support evidence from Labour and Liberal Democrat canvassers in the local elections, who have reported a collapse in Conservative support in some areas.
Leaders of both parties believe the fall in support for the Conservatives could lead to the Liberal Democrats seizing seats next week in Labour and Tory heartlands.
Labour believes that Oldham is one of the areas in the north-west of England where the Liberal Democrats will be helped by the Conservative collapse.
An NOP poll published in the Independent on Saturday gave Labour 48 (down 2), the Conservatives 26 (no change), and Liberal Democrats 21 (up 1).
