Sources for general audiences (documentaries, magazines, newspapers, blogs, podcasts) are great for finding topics. No shame in starting this way! Research is often reported in sources written so that the ideas and significance are much easier to understand (not formally presented -- as in scholarly journals).
For articles about political science topics, these magazines are generally pretty interesting and readable:: Foreign Affairs, The Economist. and CQ Weekly (for federal and Congressional news.) Search the names of the researchers you see reported on in other databases to find more from their original papers.
