Today’s installment of campaign-related news items from across the country.
- 选举周期仅剩两周，全国大部分地区已开始提前投票，华盛顿邮报/ABC新闻/Ipsos 最新民调对特朗普再次传来坏消息：该民调显示总统支持率降至历史低点 33%。但对共和党人而言，这未必是最糟的部分。
- With just two weeks remaining in the election cycle and early voting underway in much of the country, the latest Washington Post/ABC News/Ipsos survey offered Donald Trump another round of bad news: The president’s approval rating has reached a record low of 33% in this poll. But for Republicans, that’s not necessarily the worst part.
同一份民调还包含了无党派国会选票调查，结果显示民主党领先共和党 8 个百分点，得票率分别为 52% 对 44%。就在 7 月，同一机构的民调仍显示民主党仅领先 3 个百分点。
The same results included a generic congressional ballot and found Democrats with an eight-point advantage over the GOP, 52% to 44%. As recently as July, the same outlet showed Democrats with a three-point edge.

- 人工智能生成的竞选广告在本届选举周期中日益成为一个加剧的问题，但这并非完全是两党共同的问题：《纽约时报》的一项分析发现，超过 80% 的 AI 生成广告“由共和党竞选团队或共和党支持的政治行动委员会制作”。
- Artificial intelligence-generated campaign advertising has become an intensifying problem in this year’s election cycle, but it’s not altogether a bipartisan problem: A New York Times analysis found that more than 80% of the ads created by AI “were produced by Republican campaigns or Republican-aligned political action committees.”
- 在俄亥俄州备受关注的全州范围竞选中，鲍灵格林州立大学最新民调显示，前民主党参议员谢罗德·布朗领先现任共和党参议员乔恩·赫斯特，得票率分别为 48% 对 42%。一个月前，同一民调机构仍显示布朗领先 3 个百分点。

- In Nevada, retiring Republican Rep. Mark Amodei continues to tear into his own party’s would-be successor.

- 众议院议长迈克·约翰逊在周末的一次采访中表示，独立新闻机构正在秘密与独立民调公司合谋，以发布欺骗性调查数据为目的，作为一项旨在“打击”共和党选民的阴谋的一部分。这位路易斯安那州的共和党人显然不是在开玩笑。
- House Speaker Mike Johnson said during an interview over the weekend that independent news organizations are secretly conspiring with independent polling firms to release deceptive survey data as part of a plot to “discourage” GOP voters. The Louisiana Republican did not appear to be kidding.
- 上周晚些时候，总统在佐治亚州举行了竞选集会，他坚持称尽管民主党参议员乔恩·奥索夫在2020年赢得了选举，但他“从未当选”。特朗普补充说，选举结果是欺诈性的，这是一个荒唐的说法，而他并未提供任何证据。

- And in Maryland, where Republican Rep. Andy Harris threatened to have a student journalist arrested last week for recording him at a public Q&A, the far-right congressman was offered an opportunity late last week to apologize for his bizarre antics. Harris refused.
