   "Former President Donald Trump leads the Republican primary field, receiving 49% of Republican support, a five-point increase since March 2023 (44%), followed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (19%). For DeSantis, this is an eleven-point drop since March 2023 (30%).  In the general election, among registered voters, President Joe Biden (41%) has a a slight edge over Ron DeSantis (37%),  and Biden (44%) also enjoys a lead against Donald Trump (38%). In a three-way race, between Biden (42%), DeSantis (22%) as a Republican, and Trump (22%) as an independent, Biden has a plurality of support, while DeSantis and Trump are tied. "
   
   For the Debt Ceiling the respondents arrived at;
   
   "Eighty-two percent of Americans are concerned about a risk of recession for the U.S. economy if a deal is not reached, this includes equal proportions of Republicans (87%) and Democrats (85%). Seventy-seven percent are also concerned about the risk of financial harm to themselves or their family, including 82% of Republicans and Democrats (82%), if Congress and the White House are unable to reach a deal on the debt ceiling."
   
   AI is storming the American scene these days. Here at HubPages there are new rules about how it can be used to write articles. They say it can be used to assist it as a tool, but not as the means for a written article. Also, in the forums there is controversy as to how articles will be checked for it. Plus, some members have shared their articles have been moderated for being AI while claiming they are not.Then, at Facebook members are using AI to create illustrations posting them daily. So, AI is going like gang busters while who knows how it is being used with government and business today.
   
   What does the article share?
   
   "Just under seven in ten Americans say they are concerned about the increased use of artificial intelligence (AI) (68%). About two in three Americans say that AI will have unpredictable consequences that we ultimately won’t be able to control (67%), and half (52%) say AI is bad for humanity. Three in five Americans believe the uncontrollable effects of AI could be so harmful that it would risk humankind’s future (61%), a similar percentage say that companies replacing workers with AI should pay a penalty to offset the increased unemployment (62%)."
   
   Though those three were in the article, the actual survey focused on many more points like building the wall, trickle down economics, how many will vote 2024, abortion bans, Ukraine, gun laws, and police funding. To see the extras see the following link if interested.
