Forest and trees in a noisy presidential race
Doyle McManus argues the 2016 contest remains defined by noise rather than core issues. Clinton leads Trump by about six points as distractions and personal attacks drown substantive debate on society, middle class, and foreign policy. Debates may shift focus to big questions.

Public wants government help yet urges self reliance
Analysis shows campaigns promise aid mainly to the middle class while spillovers reach the poor only incidentally. Clinton proposals target Social Security, early care subsidies, tuition cuts, and minimum wage, while Trump pledges Protect Social Security and across the board tax cuts benefiting higher earners. Pew data show 46 percent of nonvoters earn under 30k. In 2014 poverty line for four was 24230 and poverty rate was 14.8 percent.

Ambiguous public will curbs a new War on Poverty
Robert Samuelson notes a paradox in opinion polls on poverty. Americans back existing anti poverty programs yet doubt their success and oppose a broad new expansion. Surveys from 1985 to 2016 show similar views on responsibility and government capability, signaling a limited mandate for sweeping reforms.
