Overnight Briefing & General Reality Check - Mar 24, 2017

I'm a Poll Man:

A new Quinnipiac University poll says that a majority of American voters oppose the Republicans' plan to repeal and replace ObamaCare. The new survey says that 56-percent of voters disapprove of the GOP healthcare plan, while just 17-percent support it.
   Among Republicans, just 41-percent support the American Health Care Act, while 24-percent oppose it.
   Fifty-eight-percent of Democratic voters disapprove of the plan. (Pacelli)

Some better news for PRESIDENT TRUMP in a new Penn State University Mood of the Nation/YouGov Poll. In that survey, just three-percent of Trump voters say they regret their vote last November.
   When asked specifically about advice for Mr. Trump, many of his voters told the pollsters that they wish he'd ease off on using Twitter and also be more careful in what he says. (Pacelli)

Taking everything much too seriously:

Think you eat too many donuts? Wait 'til you see this guy.
   Competitive eater MATT STONIE posted video of himself scarfing down 50 donuts in just over 10-minutes. It was 12-thousand calories worth of donuts in 10-minutes 45.01-seconds, to be exact. Stonie --who also goes by the name MEGATOAD-- used to hold the famous Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest title, but he lost it last year. (Still)

Going Geek-dot-com:

Another day, another stupid, dangerous internet fad... The "eraser challenge" has been kicking around for about a year. It dares kids to use erasers to rub away the skin on their arms, often while reciting the alphabet or other phrases. Players compare the resulting injuries. The most-injured player is declared the "winner." Now, doctor's are warning you should definitely not ever do that! CBS News says the eraser injuries can cause pain, burns to the skin, scarring and infections. In rare cases, eraser burns can lead to life-threatening sepsis or gangrene and the loss of a limb.
