More than 1 In 2 Americans will have an election denier on the ballot this fall
FiveThirtyEight
Sept. 6, 2022
Meredith Conroy, CSUSB associate professor of political science, was one of the contributors to a report that candidates who support former President Donald Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election was stolen will appear on ballots in nearly every state this fall. FiveThirtyEight drew on news reports, debate footage, campaign materials and social media and reached out to every single Republican nominee for the House, Senate, governor, secretary of state and attorney general to determine their position on the 2020 election.
Inland Empire PMI dips below 50
IE Business Daily
Sept. 3, 2022
The Inland Empire’s purchasing managers index was 49 in August, down from 53 in July and below 50 for the first time in nearly two years, according to data released by the Institute of Applied Research and Policy Analysis at Cal State San Bernardino. That’s the not-so-good news in this month’s report: an index below 50 means manufacturing in Riverside and San Bernardino counties is retracting.
But it takes three consecutive months to establish trend, so the Inland manufacturing sector at 50 or above for 23 straight months – can be described as slightly in limbo.
“There is no cause for concern yet,” said Barbara Sirotnik, institute director and a co-author of the report. “On the other hand, we must note that there has been an overall downward trend in the PMI since this year’s high of 62.2 in March.
“Hopefully, this month’s figure is only a one-time drop rather than a continuation of that downward trend.”
