1/ Paul Manafort's spokesman responded to reports of Manafort's wiretapping, arguing "it is a felony to reveal the existence of a FISA warrant." Jason Maloni said DOJ should "immediately conduct an investigation into these leaks and to examine the motivations behind a previous administration's effort to surveil a political opponent." The original FISA warrant was granted before Trump declared his candidacy. (CBS News)

poll/ Nearly half of voters support “a single-payer health care system, where all Americans would get their health insurance from one government plan.” Only 35 percent of voters oppose such a plan.

WOW!

At first glance at the polling data, it seemed women were slightly less supportive of single-payer than men, on the whole. I didn’t expect that.

But after splitting subgroups six ways (by gender and political affiliation), sample sizes were fairly small (n=281–390), which means margin of error was at least +/- 5–6%. So it’s possible the proportion of supporters who were men vs women could be the same after all.

If not, I wonder what accounts for that difference between genders—consistently across Democrats, Independents, and Republicans?
