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.

THE CONSERVATIVES have fallen to their lowest poll rating for more than 11 years. With the Christchurch voters delivering their by-election verdict today, a national poll by Market & Opinion Research International for today's Times puts Labour on 44 per cent (2 percentage points down on last month), the Tories at 27 (1 point down) and the Liberal Democrats on 25 - 2 points up, and their highest Mori rating for six years.

Last week's Commons votes and the weekend leak of John Major's views about 'bastard' Cabinet colleagues were covered by the polling timescale.
