Quick Glance: Trump Narrows Gap with Young Voters, Biden's Lead Shrinks - Survey Results

A new poll shows that former President Donald Trump continues to reduce his deficit with young voters compared to President Joe Biden.

In the Harvard Youth Poll released on Thursday, Biden leads among 18- to 29-year-olds with 45 percent compared to 37 percent for Trump, while 16 percent are undecided.

Biden holds a significant lead among likely voters who are non-white or female. He outperforms Trump by 47 points among college graduates and by 23 points among students.

The survey also indicates that Trump's younger supporters are much more enthusiastic about the former president than their peers who support Biden, and that Biden's approval rating among young adults is only at 31 percent.

Quick Glance: Magnitude 4.8 Earthquake Rocks New York City and Northeast US

An unusual East Coast earthquake startled millions from New York to rural New England. Over 42 million people may have felt the midmorning quake with a preliminary magnitude of 4.8.

While causing no widespread damage, the earthquake led to evacuations in Newark, New Jersey, and infrastructure inspections across the region. Flights were diverted, trains slowed, and tunnel traffic stopped.

Although no major damages were reported, the earthquake caused some disruptions. The area near the epicenter experienced minor effects, including the collapse of a historic site. There were also over a dozen aftershocks reported in the region.

President Joe Biden offered assistance, while New York City reported no major safety or infrastructure issues. Engineers emphasized that New York skyscrapers are made of high-strength materials and designed to sway slowly to withstand impacts. Even the delicately placed eggs in a sculpture at a Chinatown art gallery remained unharmed during the quake.

Twins George and Lori Schappell, previously holding the title as the world’s oldest living conjoined twins, have passed away.

On April 7, George and Lori passed away at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, as documented by Guinness World Records. The exact cause of death remains unknown.

Through exceptional schedule management and willingness to compromise, the siblings managed to harmonize life and passion. Lori worked in a hospital laundry unit, and George's musical performances occasionally took them abroad.

According to Mayo Clinic, conjoined twins form when an early embryo only partially separates to create two individuals.

Quick Glance: Reinstated Philly Cop Sues City for $100,000 in Unpaid Overtime

Joseph Stevenson, a fired Philadelphia police sergeant, is suing the city for nearly $100,000 in overtime pay he claims he is owed for the time he was off duty.

Stevenson was initially terminated in January 2020 after being accused of assaulting his wife. He was later reinstated with back pay after pleading no contest to reduced charges.

In his lawsuit, Stevenson alleges that the city still owes him $98,975 of the $120,920 in overtime he would have received during the period he was not working.

The city's decision to fire Stevenson was based on hearsay, deemed insufficient by arbitrator Thomas Leonard.
