National polls show Democrats leading Republicans by 8 percentage points. Trump’s approval rating at one point hit a record low of 32%, with high prices and the Iran war, now in its 7th month, weighing heavily. Analysts say Democrats need to gain just 3 seats in the House and 4 in the Senate to turn the tide. Races are tight in traditional red states including Texas, Alaska, Ohio and Iowa, and Democrats are expected to win 225 House seats, surpassing the 218-seat threshold for a majority.</description></item>

Scholars and real estate experts say the growing elderly population will drive demand for senior housing and medical care. But high housing prices are also pushing young and middle-aged residents to move to other counties and cities, including New Taipei and Taoyuan, and the aging of both residents and housing is expected to worsen.</description></item>

Environmental groups say Finnish law requires an assessment in advance when forest clearing covers more than 200 hectares. Google responded that the logging complies with the Forest Act and that nature surveys have been conducted.

With the fiscal deficit still growing and interest rates remaining high, 3 possible responses range from the Treasury issuing more short-term debt, to a large-scale purchase of long-term bonds modeled on the 1961 Operation Twist, to directly setting a ceiling on long-term bond yields as was done during World War II. But the more aggressive the measures, the more likely they are to worsen inflation, making things even harder for bondholders.</description></item>
