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.Yet another opinion poll has shown that French President Nicolas Sarkozy could be eliminated in the first round of a 2012 presidential election, leaving a left-wing rival and the far right to fight it out in a run-off.
The new poll, by Ipsos Logica, came out on Sunday, when Mr Sarkozy's UMP party was routed in local elections in half the country, winning only 20.2 per cent of the vote against the opposition Socialist Party's 35.7 per cent. Sunday's election was the last big test of voter sentiment before the April 2012 election.
