Election 2024 is less than a week away. Media reports, particularly on social media, are in a gaslighting frenzy of fake news and misinformation. It is hard to know what to believe and what is nonsense. Opinion polls, while hardly perfect, at least provide a quantitative peek behind the electoral curtain.
Election Day is rapidly approaching, and Donald Trump is teaching a master class in campaigning and peaking at the right time. Fortunately, he is still the Republican candidate despite efforts to remove him from the ballot through lawfare and several failed assassination attempts.
Climate change continues to be a hot election issue, at least for Democrats.
At the recent vice-presidential debates, one of Republican J.D. Vance’s several debate opponents, CBS’s Norah O’Donnell, when asking about Hurricane Helen, started not with disaster relief, but the usual Democrat canard of climate change: “Scientists say climate change makes these hurricanes larger, stronger and more deadly because of the historic rainfall.”
Is this the important issue Democrats claim it to be?
Pew Research ranked climate change 10th on a list of 10 top issues for voters in the 2024 election.
In Charles Dickens’s classic “A Christmas Carol,” curmudgeon Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by Christmas past, present, and future ghosts, transforming him into a kinder and more generous soul.
Election Day is quickly approaching, just over six weeks away. Each day brings surprises, from another assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump to another "I grew up as a middle-class kid" from Vice President Kamala Harris.
Both nominating conventions are past and election season is heating up. It’s not yet the home stretch but certainly the second half of the game.
What a few weeks it’s been! Starting with President Joe Biden’s trainwreck debate performance a few weeks ago, stumbling and stuttering, with his zinger “We finally beat Medicare,” to an attempted and bungled assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.
The upcoming election is unique in that both current candidates have a record to run on. Not as a senator or governor, but as the U.S. President, each having served a term in the White House.
Election season is well underway. President Joe Biden is mumbling and stumbling his way toward his party’s nomination for a second term, the final nail in the coffin of American greatness and exceptionalism.
The 2024 presidential election is less than six months away. Corporate media outlets are calling it a “tight race.” It probably is, as have been most recent presidential elections, but what do the polls say?
The Republican Party has the reputation and hence the name, “The Stupid Party." They nominate weak candidates, fight with each other in a circular firing squad, give good concession speeches and, if somehow elected, then govern against the will of the people they supposedly represent.
President Joe Biden is not popular these days. In the Rasmussen Reports daily presidential tracking poll from April 11, only 22% of likely US voters strongly approve of Biden’s job performance. In comparison, 46% strongly disapprove, a 24-point negative swing.
During Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign, his advisor James Carville crafted the phrase, “It’s the economy, stupid” to highlight the US recession under then-President George H.W. Bush. Bush also had his share of “stupid” by raising taxes after uttering his famous promise, “Read my lips, no new taxes.”
Trust is foundational in relationships, whether between two individuals or between individuals and institutions.
A Gallup survey from last summer found, “Americans’ faith in major societal institutions hasn’t improved over the past year following a slump in public confidence in 2022."
Illegal migrants have been entering America through our southern border since the days of Ronald Reagan and before, even during the tenure of Donald “Build the Wall” Trump.
But in the past three years of the Biden presidency, the numbers have skyrocketed.
With presidential primary season beginning in just a few weeks, former President Donald Trump has the momentum and is running away from the field of second place contenders.
Abortion continues to be a political hot potato 50 years after the controversial Roe v. Wade decision where the U.S. Supreme Court “legislated” a Constitutional “right” to abortion.
America’s national border is a border in name only. Just ask the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency as they are by statute charged with controlling America’s borders.
COVID first emerged on the scene 3 ½ years ago, along with facemasks, distancing, lockdowns, quarantines, followed by mandatory vaccination and other dystopian social controls. As life has recently been returning to normal, it feels like Groundhog Day, with an eerie sense of déjà vu, especially around masking.
This would be a perfect question for a Rasmussen Reports survey, especially ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
