Read full article: Poll: Warren, Biden locked in tight race for Dem nomination

But the new Monmouth poll confirms other recent polling suggesting a far tighter race for the Democratic nomination. Sanders and Biden are also viewed favorably by around three-quarters of Democratic voters, but their unfavorable ratings were higher (around one-in-five found each unfavorable). Trump's favorability was the worst among registered voters (compared to the top Democratic candidates), with 43% favorable and 56% unfavorable. The Monmouth University Poll was conducted by telephone from September 23 to 29, 2019 with 1,161 adults in the United States. The results in this release are based on 1,017 registered voters and have a +/- 3.1 percentage point sampling margin of error.

Harry and Meghan branded hypocrites for using private jets

The environmental footprint of a private jet is also much greater than that of a commercial plane. "Private jets are similar to commercial jets except they fly with less people, so therefore the footprint (per person) is much higher," Gilliam explained. "Private jets consume 10 times more per person than commercial jets," she said. To maintain a high level of much-needed protection, we provided them with a private jet flight," he posted on Twitter. "You expect them to travel private, but that clashes with their mission to help save the planet," Fitzwilliam told CNN.

Read full article: Rolling Stones' concert postponed as Barry nears landfall

Chris Jackson/Getty ImagesNEW ORLEANS - The Rolling Stones may sing about being born in a hurricane, but they will not be playing in one this weekend. The band tweeted Friday it will be postponing its concert originally set for Sunday in New Orleans. Tropical Storm Barry is expected to make landfall Saturday in Louisiana as a Category 1 hurricane, and the intense rain it will bring is expected to wreak havoc on the city. The show will be moved just one day later, to Monday, and Sunday's tickets will be honored, the band said in a tweet. Lead vocalist Mick Jagger gave nod to the band's stormy lyrics on Twitter and confirmed they'll be performing Monday.
