Economic concerns and party loyalty are key factors shaping Iowa’s U.S. Senate matchup.

A Fox News statewide survey of Iowa likely voters finds Democrat Josh Turek with a two-point edge over Republican Ashley Hinson, 49% to 47%, well within the margin of error.

Among registered voters, Turek is ahead by 4 points, 50% to 46%. That also falls within the range of sampling error and has been unchanged since June.

The analysis below is based on likely voter results.

Democrats are more unified behind state representative Turek (96%) than Republicans are of current Congresswoman Hinson (87%). Independents favor Turek by two-to-one, and 10% of Republicans back him. It’s Iowa’s partisan structure that keeps the race tight, as more voters identify as Republicans than Democrats.

Iowa voters are split on control of the Senate: 49% prefer Democratic control and 48% favor Republican. With those numbers nearly matching the Senate matchup, both candidates are performing close to their party’s ceiling.

Turek is preferred by 11 points among women, 16 points in the suburbs, 17 points among voters with a college degree, and 32 points among independents.

Hinson is up by 7 points among men, 6 points among those without a college degree, 14 points among rural voters, and 41 points among White evangelical Christians.

Economic pressure influences the contest. In the 2024 Fox News Voter Analysis, 3 in 10 Iowans described their families as falling behind financially. That share has risen to 4 in 10 today, and they back Turek by a 38-point margin. Meanwhile, those holding steady (45%) and getting ahead (13%) favor Hinson (by 14 and 53 points respectively).

In addition, 6 in 10 say the cost of living will be extremely important to their Senate vote decision. That outpaces other top issues, like President Donald Trump (43% extremely), immigration (39% extremely), and AI technology (27% extremely).

Turek has the advantage among voters who say the cost of living, Trump, and AI technology are each extremely important to their vote, while voters prioritizing immigration favor Hinson.

Trump won Iowa with nearly 56% of the vote in 2024. Today, that’s how many Iowa voters disapprove of his job performance as president (57%), while far fewer, 42%, approve.

The president’s ratings are only part of Hinson’s challenge. While 42% view her positively, 50% have an unfavorable view, including nearly 4 in 10 who are “strongly” unfavorable. In contrast, Turek’s ratings are net positive: 48% favorable to 40% unfavorable (24% “strongly” unfavorable).

By a 9-point margin, more voters are concerned Hinson is too close to Trump than are worried Turek’s views are too liberal (52% vs. 43%). Among those “extremely” concerned, that gap widens to 14 points: 36% say Hinson is too tied to Trump, while 22% say Turek is too liberal.

Made with Flourish•Create a chart

More of Turek’s backers are certain of their choice: 88% are committed to him compared to 77% for Hinson. Twice as many Hinson supporters say they might change their mind (20% vs. 10%).

“Recent history and the state’s partisan makeup suggest Hinson can pull this out,” says GOP pollster Daron Shaw, who works on the Fox News Poll with Democrat Chris Anderson. “But the warning signs are clear: Iowa Republicans seem ambivalent, independents prefer Turek, and even her supporters say they aren’t sure.”

Made with Flourish•Create a chart

Iowa hasn’t elected a Democrat to the Senate in 18 years (when Sen. Tom Harkin won his final term), and it’s been 20 years since they elected a Democrat as governor.

In the Iowa governor’s contest, Democrat Rob Sand outperforms Republican Zach Lahn among likely voters by 53-44%. The race has been steady since June.

Made with Flourish•Create a chart

Sand’s lead comes not only from getting the support of nearly all Democrats (97%), but also 14% of Republicans and 66% of independents (vs. 16% of independents for Lahn). Plus, 11% of voters backing Hinson for Senate switched parties to support Sand for governor.

Conducted September 24-28, 2026, under the joint direction of Beacon Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R), this Fox News Poll includes interviews with a sample of 1,204 Iowa registered voters randomly selected from a statewide voter file. Respondents spoke with live interviewers on landlines (183) and cellphones (733) or completed the survey online after receiving a text message (288). Results based on the registered voter sample have a margin of sampling error of ±2.5 percentage points and for the subsample of 1,008 likely voters it is ±3 percentage points. Sampling error for results among subgroups is higher. In addition to sampling error, question wording and order can influence results. Sources for developing weight targets include the most recent American Community Survey, Fox News Voter Analysis, and voter file data. Weights are generally applied to age, race, education, and area variables to ensure the demographics of respondents are representative of the registered voter population. Likely voters are based on a probabilistic statistical model that relies on past vote history, interest in the current election, intention to vote, age, education, race, ethnicity, and marital status. Results among subgroups are only shown when the sample size is at least N=100.

韩咏红：让科技发展与消费“两条腿走路”

2026年10月2日 05:00 / 联合早报

面对经济增速压力，中国推出史无前例的房贷贴息政策，市场反应却出人意料。科技投入与消费提振能否真正并行不悖，正成为各方激辩的核心悬念。

中国官方星期二（9月29日）宣布，从10月1日起，对符合条件的居民首套住房贷款给予财政贴息。这是中国中央财政首次对商业性个人住房贷款实施贴息。图为北京市的住宅和商业建筑群。 （路透社）

在传统的“金九银十”楼市销售旺季之际，中国总理李强本周一（9月28日）主持召开国务院常务会议，提出要“加力实施扩投资、促消费贴息政策”。会议结束隔天，一项中国中央财政史上从未有过的新政应声公布：从10月1日起，住房刚需家庭购买首套房，可享受1％的房贷贴息。

中国财政部、央行、金融监管总局星期二（29日）联合发布的通知显示，这项福利精准面向普通刚需家庭，购房者必须是第一次购房，面积不超过120平方米、总价不超过150万元（人民币，下同，29万新元），而且只针对商业贷款。如果满足这些条件，其中100万元商业贷款可获最多五年的1%贴息优惠，换算下来，这项政策“礼包”最高价值5万元。

然而，这份史无前例的“首套房贷贴息”大礼包，并没有对房地产股产生立竿见影的提振效果，反而先吹来一阵冷风。9月30日中国房地产股早盘集体跳水，多股跌停，直到午后抄底资金集中涌入，局面才开始逆转，最终走出一个过山车的震荡行情。分析人士指出，市场其实早在9月下旬就传出“节前全国房贷贴息”的消息，房地产板块已普涨了20%，预期都消化得差不多了。待官方政策公布，也就是利好出尽之际，那些提前进场的游资落袋平安，立马转投科技类股了。

Mamdani pledges millions to combat antisemitism while leaving key question unresolved

The city’s first Muslim mayor proposed boosting hate crime funding from $3M to $29M annually amid a 16% uptick in incidents

Mamdani’s anti-Semitism strategy UNDER FIRE

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s new plan to fight anti-Semitism faces strong criticism.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced plans to combat antisemitism on Tuesday afternoon despite leaving out a definition for what separates it from other forms of racial or religious prejudice.

He also did not formally recognize the existence of Israel as he unveiled plans to create the Interagency Task Force to Combat Antisemitism.

The plan’s announcement puts renewed scrutiny on Mamdani, the city’s first Muslim mayor, as he looks to undercut allegations that he lacks support for the Jewish community amid a rising number of hate crimes against the Jewish community.

ANTISEMITIC VIOLENCE REACHES DEADLIEST LEVEL SINCE 1994, NEW GLOBAL REPORT FINDS

“My administration has a responsibility to ensure New York City remains a place where Jewish New Yorkers can live their lives peacefully and safely — where they can walk down the street, enter their houses of worship and build their lives knowing that this city will stand with them,” Mamdani said in a strategy document.

“But too many Jewish New Yorkers have told me that they are no longer certain that promise can be taken for granted.”

Antisemitic acts make up the greatest slice of the city’s tracking for hate crimes in 2026, accounting for roughly 9% of the picture, according to NYPD reporting. In the first eight months of 2026, the city has recorded a hate crime uptick of 16% over last year’s levels.

Recorded hate crimes in the “homosexual” category, for instance, make up 29 incidents and those against Muslims make up another 21. Hate crimes against Jews have reached 181.

131 of those are felony offenses.

The strategy document, which lays out a number of policy proposals, notes the numerous “useful” definitions for antisemitism that already exist but also stipulates that the Mamdani administration would not adopt any of them.

“New York City can and will leverage all of the tools at its disposal to combat antisemitism effectively without needing to adopt a definition for this specific form of hate,” the framework states.

“Federal hate crimes statutes — which criminalize conduct motivated by bias against protected characteristics, such as race, national origin and religion — do not adopt a standalone definition of discrimination,” it adds.

In practical terms, the proposal outlines a substantial increase in its funding to combat hate crimes, a jump from $3 million to $29 million annually. It further creates cooperation pathways between the NYPD, the Office for Prevention of Hate Crimes and the Commission on Human Rights, among other agencies.

It also designates $2 million for the Queens Holocaust memorial and $2.5 million for the Center for New Jewish Culture in Brooklyn.

Mamdani framed the proposal as the beginning of larger efforts to ensure the safety of the Jewish community.

“We will fight antisemitism with urgency and resolve. And we will do so in relentless solidarity with the many communities who also know what it means to be targeted, marginalized or made to question their safety.”

Sleeper Senate race emerges as unexpected headache for Republicans ahead of midterms

Republicans fully acknowledge they are facing political headwinds going into the midterm elections in November, and those winds are swirling in a race that has become quietly competitive as Election Day nears.

Kansas has, for nearly a century, consistently elected Republicans to the Senate.

But in a midterm election year when voters are unhappy with the Trump administration’s actions and its impact on the economy, the race between Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., and megachurch Pastor Adam Hamilton has tightened more than some in the GOP would have liked.

Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., the Senate GOP’s campaign chief, acknowledged that the race is close but remained confident Marshall would hold on.

“Listen, I think if you look at Kansas, it’s a very competitive state, more competitive than I’d like to see it. But the fact of the matter is that we’re gonna win in Kansas,” Scott said.

Republicans are trying to maintain and expand their 53-seat majority but face many toss-up contests across the map and voters that are frustrated with high fuel prices, tariffs and the war in Iran, which could threaten that grip on power.

Kansas isn’t in that toss-up category, but it was recently downgraded by “Likely Republican” to “Lean Republican” by the Cook Political Report and in Fox News’ election power rankings.

“No one should be surprised that Adam’s message of leading from the middle and working together is resonating across Kansas,” Tyson Brody, a spokesperson for Hamilton told Fox News Digital.

“Roger Marshall has spent the past 18 months hiding from his constituents, voting to slash health care and supporting and endless war that’s led to skyrocketing gas and grocery prices,” he continued.

“Kansans are ready for something different, and that’s why we’ll vote to elect Adam in November.”

Still, Scott gave Marshall and others some advice that could be the recipe for success, even in close contests.

“I told Roger Marshall the same thing I told all the candidates nearly two years ago: “You do one of two things. You either run afraid or you run unopposed,’” Scott said. “And, frankly, it’s not unopposed.

“And, therefore, you can’t run to the tape. You have to run through the tape. I believe that Kansas is a competitive state,” he continued. “I will, however, say that, as I look at all the data, it tells me that Roger Marshall will be successful.”

GOP SENATOR ALLEGES SCHUMER BEHIND ‘HIT JOB’ REPORT ON FORMER PATIENTS

He has already gotten reinforcements in the form of Vice President JD Vance, who earlier this month rallied for the lawmaker and pitched to voters that Marshall, a former obstetrician, was a man who devoted his life to delivering babies and making sure that moms and children from every walk of life were safe and had the healthcare that they need.”

“Let’s stand for Doc Marshall and send the crazy people packing, ladies and gentlemen,” Vance said.

He will get more backup soon, too. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., told Fox News Digital as he exited the Senate late Wednesday night he planned to travel to Kansas. When asked if Republicans would keep the majority, Thune said, “Of course we are.”

Marshall is eying a second term in the Senate against Hamilton, a political newcomer who was previously registered as a Republican now running a centrist-aligned campaign. Marshall was first elected to the upper chamber in 2020, cruising to an 11-point victory while Republicans across the country took hits as Trump’s first term came to an end.

Since then, he has aligned himself with Trump as many Republicans did during their time in total control of Washington.

But in recent weeks and months, Marshall has started to distance himself from the administration, like pushing for ICE to coordinate with local law enforcement as agents descended upon southern Kansas or vowing to fight for jobs at Bombardier, a Canadian aircraft maintenance center that employs nearly 1,500 Kansans as Trump’s trade wars ensues.

Hamilton has his own headaches, too. Marshall has consistently painted Hamilton as a “woke” pastor who has delivered sermons to Kansas’ largest United Methodist congregation on Black Lives Matter and climate change, among others.

“As voters continue to learn more about Democrat Adam Hamilton, they are realizing his views are just a carbon copy of every other woke liberal in Washington,” Brent Robertson, a longtime senior advisor to Marshall, told Fox News Digital.

“Voters are turning on this guy quicker than cider.”

During one sermon six years ago, Hamilton called on his congregation to repent for eating and producing beef. Notably, Kansas is the third-largest cattle producer in the country.

“Some of the things that we grow, because we like to eat them, like cattle, end up producing more carbon dioxide than other crops that we could grow, other forms of food that we could have,” Hamilton said.

“And, so, in all of these ways, we are creating or adding to the amount of greenhouse gases in our world.”

Trump suggests FlyDubai co-pilot is linked to Iran, “based on what I’m hearing”

October 1, 2026 4:04 PM EDT / CBS News

Washington — President Trump on Thursday suggested the FlyDubai co-pilot who allegedly tried to crash a passenger plane en route to Israel is linked to Iran, “based on what I’m hearing,” but did not provide further details.

The U.S. president went further than Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said it’s “too early to say” if Iran was involved when a FlyDubai co-pilot allegedly stabbed his captain and attempted to crash the passenger aircraft on its approach to Tel Aviv from Dubai. The captain was able to unlock the cockpit door, and passengers overpowered and subdued the co-pilot before off-duty pilots made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia.

“We’re working on it right now,” Mr. Trump said Thursday on the White House South Lawn when a reporter asked if the co-pilot is linked to Iran. “They’re being very open with us. I would say the answer, based on what I’m hearing, is yes. But we’re working on it right now.”

Mr. Trump was also asked if the co-pilot was possibly placed there by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps or radicalized some other way. “Could’ve been, yeah,” Mr. Trump replied.

Netanyahu told CBS News on Wednesday that the co-pilot’s motives are still unknown.

“I don’t think it was a hijacking,” Netanyahu told “CBS Evening News” anchor Tony Dokoupil, adding, “I think it looks like a suicide attempt.”

Netanyahu told CBS News the co-pilot is being interrogated in Saudi Arabia.

Netanyahu told Fox News that Israel knew the co-pilot had undergone “Islamist radical indoctrination.” If Iran is behind the thwarted attack, Mr. Trump said the U.S. will retaliate.

“Oh, they’ll be hit very hard,” Mr. Trump said. “Don’t worry. You just ask them — they know what happens. They’ll be hit very hard.”

The co-pilot in question has not yet been publicly identified. An Omani official told CBS News the attacker was born in Oman and currently holds Omani citizenship, although the Omani government has not publicly confirmed his nationality.

Judge blocks Trump from firing Seattle US attorney who had job for an hour

President Donald Trump cannot fire US attorneys who have been appointed by courts, a federal judge in Washington state said Thursday in a first-of-its-kind ruling that tests the scope of a president’s removal power under the Constitution.

The ruling comes from a lawsuit by Roger Rogoff, who was appointed by a federal court to be Seattle’s US attorney in July, only to be fired minutes later.

“Mr. Roger Rogoff is the United States Attorney for the Western District of Washington and has been the rightful holder of that office since July 15, 2026, when he took the oath of office,” Judge Stanley Bastian, the chief judge of the eastern district court in Washington, said following an hourlong hearing.

Courts across the country have wrestled with the administration’s efforts to keep in place so-called “interim” US attorneys selected by the president beyond the 120 days federal law allows those prosecutors to serve in the temporary role. Once that time period expires, the law gives the local federal court the power to appoint someone to serve as US attorney until the Senate confirms the president’s appointee. However, in several instances, Trump then fired that court-appointed prosecutor.

Bastian said that a president’s powers to remove US attorneys under the law were limited to Senate-confirmed US attorneys – not those appointed by courts.

“Allowing the president to fire a United States attorney appointed by the court also eliminates the incentive to nominate a candidate that can be confirmed by the Senate,” Bastian said. “In other words, the executive and legislative branches are supposed to and encouraged to work together.”

The Justice Department does not contest a court’s ability to appoint a US attorney in that circumstance. But it argues that the president still retains the ability to fire that person. DOJ said it will appeal Bastian’s ruling.

Rogoff was the first court-appointed US attorney to challenge his firing in court and Bastian noted he was the first judge ever to address the legal question of whether a president can fire court-appointed US attorneys.

While Bastian’s preliminary injunction ruling is in effect, the administration cannot take steps to fire Rogoff, nor can it hinder Rogoff’s ability to carry out his duties as Seattle top federal prosecutor.

Rogoff’s case ushers in a new significant legal question after months of litigation in other states over Trump’s maneuverings around US attorneys.

In New Jersey for instance, Trump tried to reinstate his original choice for interim US attorney — his former criminal lawyer Alina Habba — after the federal court there selected someone else for the role. Habba later resigned after a federal appeals court said her appointment was unlawful. The Justice Department then worked with the federal judges in the state to find a prosecutor that the court could appoint to the job.

Meanwhile, the Justice Department has appealed to the Supreme Court a case concerning its workarounds to keep Trump’s chosen lawyer, Sigal Chattah, as the leader of the US attorney’s office in Nevada, after lower courts said her appointment was illegal.

The Supreme Court has not yet said if it will take up the Chattah case.

这起事件引发英国警方的大规模行动，令西方盟友感到警惕，且至今仍未得到合理解释。

Judge blocks Trump’s firing of top federal prosecutor in Seattle and restores him as U.S. attorney

October 1, 2026 / 6:58 PM EDT / CBS News

Washington — A federal judge on Thursday blocked President Trump’s firing of Roger Rogoff from his post as the top federal prosecutor in Seattle, finding the president cannot unilaterally remove a U.S. attorney who has been tapped to the post by a district court.

U.S. District Judge Stanley Bastian delivered his decision from the bench at the end of a hearing, during which he agreed to grant Rogoff’s request to reinstate him until the Senate confirms a replacement. Mr. Trump nominated Simon Peter Serrano to the position of U.S. attorney in Seattle last month.

Bastian ruled that Rogoff is the U.S. attorney in the Western District of Washington and has been the “rightful holder of that office” since July 15, when the federal district judges in the region installed him to the role and he took his oath of office.

Mr. Trump fired Rogoff less than an hour after he was sworn in.

“The real issue to be decided in this case by this court appears to be one of first impression: can the president fire a U.S. attorney appointed by the district court?” Bastian said, later adding, “The answer to the question the court is faced with is no. The president cannot unilaterally fire a United States attorney appointed by the district court.”

The Justice Department said it intends to appeal and will immediately seek to halt the ruling.

In addition to declaring Rogoff as the U.S. attorney, Bastian said Charles Neil Floyd, the first assistant who has been leading the office, “is not the United States attorney” for the Western District of Washington, and authority to perform the role’s responsibilities was “improperly granted.”

Mr. Trump signed an order last week that directed Floyd “to perform the functions and duties of the office of United States Attorney.”

“Allowing the president to fire a U.S. attorney appointed by the district court would upend the framework created by the Constitution and the statutes, which together balance the president’s right to appoint and the Senate’s right to confirm,” Bastian said. “Allowing the president to fire a United States attorney appointed by the court also eliminates the incentive to nominate a candidate that can be confirmed by the Senate. In other words, the executive and legislative branches are supposed to and encouraged to work together.”

In his oral order, the judge prohibited the Trump administration from putting Rogoff’s firing into effect until the U.S. attorney spot is filled by a Senate-confirmed candidate. He also said the administration cannot purport to remove Rogoff from his position, deny him access to benefits or resources of the position, or obstruct Rogoff from his ability to carry out his duties.

Finally, Bastian said the Trump administration cannot treat anyone other than Rogoff as U.S. attorney.

“The court finds it is in the public interest that the law be followed and that Mr. Rogoff take the office to which he has already taken the oath of office,” he said.

“I care deeply about the rule of law and the careful checks and balances envisioned by our Founders and carried out by Congress,” Rogoff said in a statement provided to CBS News. “I appreciate the judicial process and am now focused on assuming the role of U.S. attorney and getting to work for the people of Western Washington.”

The U.S. attorney’s office in Seattle has not had a Senate-confirmed leader since mid-2023. After Mr. Trump took office, he fired Tessa Gorman as the top prosecutor in the office. She had been serving temporarily before judges on the district court appointed her to the job in May 2024.

Floyd began leading the office as interim U.S. attorney in October, but his appointment was subject to a 120-day clock, which expired in February. He then began serving as first assistant U.S. attorney, the second-in-command, and said at the time that he would continue leading the office.

Because Mr. Trump had not by that time put forth a nominee to serve as the top federal prosecutor in Seattle, the district judges exercised their authority under a federal law governing U.S. attorney vacancies to tap Rogoff for the job. That law allows the attorney general to appoint an interim U.S. attorney, who is subject to a 120-day term. Once that appointment expires, the district court can either agree to extend that prosecutor’s tenure or appoint its own U.S. attorney until the Senate confirms a replacement.

Following his swift firing, Rogoff filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration and argued that his removal was unlawful. He argued that if not blocked by the court, the Trump administration’s “actions will permit the Executive Branch to evade the Senate’s advice-and-consent role indefinitely.”

Mr. Trump has attempted to install his preferred candidates for U.S. attorney in several other places, including Nevada, New York, Virginia and New Jersey. Federal courts have in those instances, some of which involve a slightly different mechanism, found the appointments unlawful.

Rogoff, however, appears to be the first ousted prosecutor to challenge his firing in court.

伊朗外交部星期四（10月1日）召见英国驻伊朗大使肖特，对英国近期指认伊朗涉嫌图谋袭击英国费尔福德皇家空军基地表示强烈抗议。

《德黑兰时报》报道，伊朗强烈抗议英国政府持续对伊朗采取破坏性做法，称相关指控毫无根据。另据伊朗新闻电视台消息，伊朗副外长拉万奇告诉英国大使，英国政府必须就此事作出正式解释，纠正不当立场。

同一天，英国反恐警察宣布逮捕一名涉嫌策划恐怖活动的英国－伊朗双重国籍男子。

英国反恐警方正在调查涉及美军使用英国费尔福德皇家空军基地的疑似阴谋，这个基地位于英格兰格洛斯特郡。

9月27日凌晨，五名男子在费尔福德皇家空军基地附近被捕，涉嫌触犯爆炸物法令及恐怖主义相关罪名。五人都是住在伦敦的英国公民，已获准保释。英国警方目前正在调查是否有外国势力涉案。

英国首相伯纳姆星期三（9月30日）表示，这起事件可能与伊朗有关。美国国务卿鲁比奥星期二（29日）也指事件涉及“外国势力”。
