‘It is still unknown if any of these six departures are related’ Another diversity staffer at Quinnipiac University left this month, the sixth DEI official in one year, prompting questions about the turnover rate.

To paraphrase an old saying, there are polls, damned polls, and hypothetical click-bait. To which category should we assign a Quinnipiac poll that reports 47% of American voters willing to consider a third-party presidential candidate in 2024? Especially when nearly as many voters of a specific party affiliation indicate openness to the idea?Door Number 3, perhaps, but even so, this can’t help but make Joe Manchin feel tingly all over (via PJ Media):With the 2024 presidential race potentially pitting a current and former president against each other and more than a dozen other candidates officially seeking their party’s presidential nomination,...

Former President Trump tore into Quinnipiac and Fox News over a poll showing him trailing President Biden in a head-to-head matchup. “The Quinnipiac Poll FoxNews keeps showing on “TRUMP” vs. Biden is not just an old Poll, it is a BAD Poll,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Monday. “It under samples Republicans by 10 points, which means, instead of being down 4 points, I am up 6 points. Other Polls show me much higher than that.” Trump took issue with Fox’s broadcasting of the poll, saying that the network “will always attempt, as they did in 2016, to only...

A Quinnipiac poll published on March 7, 2022, gave a remarkable insight into the state of the country in terms of its political divisions. It has long been suspected that Democrats care more about their party than the country, and the recent polls provide strong evidence supporting that opinion.

Presidential Job Approval: Given the disastrous...
