But they (the Minneapolis Star Tribune) have floated many lowball numbers to try to minimize the scandal. The only entity with access to all of

A level not seen since March 11th. March 11. Think about how much has happened in the past four weeks. The Iran war, gas prices.

From FOX-26 TV (Houston), Hobby Airport warns of 2-hour TSA wait due to government shutdown. On Twitter (X) I was seeing reports of 4- and 5-hour delays for security screening at Houston’s second airport. To the extent that they were ever aware, most Americans have forgotten that we are officially in a government shutdown. Or, at least those bits of the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS) that have nothing

From The Hill newspaper, Most Americans say ICE has been too tough: Poll. The poll cited by The Hill is from CBS News, who published the results under the headline, CBS News poll finds more Americans say ICE being too tough; Republicans feel protesters have gone too far.

Increasingly, eyes are on the midterm elections. Democrats are confident because the “out” party nearly always gains in the midterms, and they see Donald Trump as an unpopular president against whom they can run. Are they right? Rasmussen polls likely voters continuously and with consistent methodology and is therefore a good barometer. Its surveys document President Trump’s decline. This is his approval rating, on a three-day rolling basis. It currently

The New York Times and other liberal outlets have been promoting the idea that many 2024 Trump voters regret their votes because they consider the administration’s actions, in particular in dealing with illegal immigration, to be “too extreme.” Others say Trump is doing exactly what he said he would do, and what the voters elected him to do. Rasmussen tailored questions along those lines, beginning with: Which is closer to

When the government shutdown ended, Rasmussen asked voters what they thought about it. Not surprisingly, 67% say they approve of the shutdown’s end. Twenty-four percent disapprove of ending the shutdown, presumably all rabid Democrats. They wanted the shutdown to continue until Republicans gave Democrats whatever it was they wanted. Rasmussen asked voters who was to blame for the shutdown: Voters are divided over who is most to blame for the

To hear the Democrats tell it, the policies of the Trump administration have been a catastrophic failure and Americans are in a state of near-revolt. But the truth is more or less the opposite. Today Rasmussen published charts comparing approval of President Joe Biden with that of President Trump. These are monthly averages, so daily ups and downs are smoothed out: President Trump is markedly more popular than Joe Biden
