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.

WASHINGTON (Reuter) - The Democratic candidate, Bill Clinton, would win 57 per cent of the vote to President George Bush's 32 per cent if the presidential elections were held now, Cable News Network (CNN) said yesterday.

Only 29 per cent of voters approved of the way Mr Bush was running the country, the lowest level of his presidency, a CNN poll, conducted on Monday, showed. In January, Mr Bush's approval rating was 46 per cent. The poll was conducted for CNN by Gallup.

Mr Clinton is taking a day off from the presidential campaign to attend the funeral of a friend and key Democratic fundraiser, C Victor Raiser II, who died in an air crash in Alaska last Thursday with his son.
