With just 55 days until Election Day, Americans are starting to focus more on the choices at the top of the ballot. Labor Day came and went, summer is almost over, and now both campaigns are in a final sprint to turn out their bases and persuade the small sliver of undecided voters who should hold the highest office in the land. While voters will weigh each candidate according to their promises, policies, and party platforms, public opinion polling will certainly shape the race in the final months.

Tuesday, the Trump administration Department of Justice struck yet another blow for religious freedom in the federal courts -- this time by filing an amicus brief with the Indiana Supreme Court in support of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Indianapolis in an important First Amendment case. This is another notch in the belt for President Trump and his DOJ, which has been very impressive on the issue. The Trump administration has been filing briefs and statements in support of religious freedom with the courts faster than President Obama or President George W. Bush did, as even NBC News has noted.
