Patrick’s border plan: audit needed on Guard deployment
Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick pushes extending Texas National Guard duty to seal the border, but critics say the deployment had limited impact and was ill-timed. Gov.

Democrats and independents largely support, while Republicans split on wage hikes. Americans distrust Obama’s handling of middle class aid, though trust for Democrats remains higher. Gender gaps appear within party groups on workplace equality laws.
