Quinnipiac University's latest national poll found registered voters evenly split in their choice for president with 46 percent supporting each President Biden and former President Trump. In a five-way matchup including independent and Green Party candidates, Biden and Trump are still tied with 37 percent support apiece, while independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. drew 16 percent support.       A Civil War-era abortion law is a step closer to being repealed in Arizona. Democrats in the state House of Representatives successfully pushed through a bill that repeals the 1864 that banned nearly all abortions. The bill now heads to the state Senate where it is expected to be passed early next month.        Former President Trump is asking a judge to dismiss two more charges in his Georgia election interference case. In a filing Wednesday, Trump requested for the conspiracy to commit filing of false documents and the filing of false documents charges against him to be dismissed. Trump currently faces ten counts in the case after three were dismissed in March.       A new reports shows how much someone needs to be making to be considered middle class.
