This Quinnipiac University poll is getting a lot of attention, primarily for the finding that Congressional Democrats have only a 19% approval rating, while 72% disapprove. Those are terrible numbers, of course. But they are driven largely by the fact that many Democrats disapprove of their Congressional representatives because they don’t think they are aggressive enough, or far enough left. The more salient takeaway from the survey is that Americans

Miranda Devine previews the results of a Rasmussen poll to be released today on the Russia hoax: Astonishingly, 60% of Democratic voters still think “the Trump campaign colluded with the Russian government to win the 2016 election”, according to the poll of 1,014 Likely Voters conducted on July 6-7. A whopping 69 percent of liberal voters still cling to the Russia collusion hoax, compared to 27 percent of conservatives, and

The last week has seen one of President Trump’s most brilliant successes, the bombing of Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities. That military strike, carried out with nearly unparalleled secrecy and precision, may have spared one or more American cities from being destroyed by a nuclear warhead–something that, presumably, even Democrats do not want to see. And yet Trump’s approval rating has not budged. The best source for such trends is Rasmussen,

The latest Rasmussen Reports poll on the nation’s direction shows “right direction” in the green, by a margin of 48-47. It marks the first time that Rasmussen, or any other pollster, has shown a net positive number since February. Likewise, today’s Rasmussen poll on Pres. Trump’s job approval has him above water at 52-46. He has been at or above level for the past four weeks. The stock market (S&P

We have entered a whole new era in our country’s political history.

Chuck Schumer, for one. Democrats have been promoting the idea that Trump’s poll numbers are in the toilet, his voters are experiencing buyer’s remorse, and so on. Actually, Trump’s numbers are pretty good, and clearly better than Joe Biden’s, which is the most relevant comparison. But who is really down in the polls? A reporter asks Schumer an inconvenient question: 🚨 LMAO! A reporter just EMBARRASSED Chuck Schumer after Chuck

Rasmussen finds that 72% of Democrats think we are living in a fascist dictatorship. If they really meant it, I suppose they wouldn’t bother to vote in 2026. Because you can’t vote in a fascist dictatorship, can you? So it is just the usual hysteria. To be fair, 37% of Republicans and 47% of independents also say we are living in a fascist dictatorship. The explanation apparently lies in the

That’s no surprise, of course. But Rasmussen finds that 50% of likely voters trust Republicans more than Democrats to “handle immigration,” while 39% trust Democrats and 11% haven’t made up their minds. On one hand, you could be surprised that as many as 39% actually approve of the Democrats’ burning desire to keep illegal alien gang members in our country, or you could wonder what in the world pundits like

The percent of Americans who say that the country is moving in the right direction has surged since Inauguration Day, from 28 percent on Jan.20 to just above 43 percent. This according to the RealClearPolitics (RCP) poll of polls. It’s still underwater, but it’s been underwater for as far back as RCP shows data, some 16 years. It appears that Trump has seen “right direction” move up every single day

One might think it goes without saying that members of violent foreign gangs who are in this country illegally should be deported. Indeed, if they aren’t going to be deported, then who should be? And yet, Rasmussen finds that the proposition is controversial: The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 64% of Likely U.S. Voters support Trump’s policy of deporting Venezuelan gang members, including 47% who

President Donald Trump’s job approval ratings stay above 50 percent, despite (or because of?) constant attacks in the media. I consume a lot of media in the course of my day job. So I was mildly surprised to discover how robust the President’s job approval numbers are, so far. Rasmussen Reports still does a daily poll, and today’s figure has Trump at 51 percent approval. In fact, at no point

The Democrats are engaged in an odd “anti-oligarchy” tour. Odd, because the Democrats are the party of the rich and the establishment. It would more accurately be called an “anti-populism” tour. Also, I don’t know how many Americans know the meaning of the word “oligarchy.” I think what the Democrats mean by “oligarchy” is Elon Musk. But in modern times, individual rich people have generally not been unpopular in America.

The same Harvard/Harris poll that I wrote about here also asked respondents their views about events in the Middle East. From the Harvard/Harris press release: Support for Israel over Hamas in the conflict remains high, with 77% of voters supporting Israel. I should hope so! But 23% of respondents say they support Hamas: That 23% must be, what? College students on “elite” campuses? There aren’t enough of them. Liberals under

Democrats believe that the Trump administration has overreached and is rapidly becoming unpopular. Thus, the New York Times headlines: “Republicans Face Angry Voters at Town Halls, Hinting at Broader Backlash.” After a monthlong honeymoon for the G.O.P. at the start of President Trump’s term, lawmakers are confronting a groundswell of fear and disaffection in districts around the country. Longtime Democratic consultant James Carville says that the Trump administration is in

The Democrats are foaming at the mouth over everything the Trump administration does, but so far the public isn’t buying it. Most people who aren’t Democrats don’t want the government to waste money and disapprove of fraud, so they like what Trump and Musk are trying to do. Rasmussen finds a pretty solid majority of likely voters approving of what the Trump administration is doing so far: The Rasmussen Reports

Emerson actually wrote — in a poem, no less — “Things are in the saddle, / And ride mankind.” The line doesn’t have the meaning that I remember, but it’s close enough to moderate the joy I take in reading the results of the latest Quinnipiac survey measuring attitudes toward President Trump, toward Elon Musk, toward immigration and deportations, toward the Democratic and Republican parties, and more. The findings are

Liz Collin is the Emmy Award-winning reporter who now works for Alpha News. Liz had Minnesota Governor Tim Walz nailed as a compulsive liar years before he was exposed as such in the glare of the national spotlight — not that anyone vetting Walz for Kamala Harris picked up on her work. They were certainly aware of Barack Obama’s approval and perhaps even of the cheerleading of the Star Tribune
