Sen. Amy Klobuchar rejected the characterization from special counsel Robert Hur that President Biden is an "elderly man with a poor memory," saying she recently spent "over an hour" talking to him and he was fine. "I was with the president for over an hour and talked about so many things, domestic, international. He was focused. His recall was good," Klobuchar told NBC's "Meet The Press." KRISTEN WELKER: Well, let me ask you this. The report described President Biden as a quote, "Elderly man with a poor memory." Do you think the White House should allow the release of the...

Megyn Kelly reacted over the weekend to a new survey that found nearly half of Democrats support limiting freedom of speech. “This is what we’re up against,” Kelly wrote on the social media platform X — linking to a RealClearPolitics survey which showed a startlingly high number of Democrats backing censorship According to the survey, 47% of Democrats say that speech should be legal “only under certain circumstances.” A slim majority of Democrats (53%) agreed that speech should be legal under any circumstances while a third of Democrats (34%) think Americans have “too much freedom,” according to the poll.

Former President Donald Trump now leads His Fraudulency Joe Biden in the RealClearPolitics poll that averages all the most recent national polls. Currently, the former president enjoys 44.8 support to Joe Biden’s 44.4 percent. This is notable for one important reason… Not once during the 2020 presidential election cycle did Trump lead Biden nationally. Not for a single day. But in the 2024 election cycle, Trump has consistently led or been nipping at Biden’s heels since early April. So far this year, Biden’s biggest lead over Trump in this poll of polls has been only two points—which lasted a very...

Have any of you found your comments on public site being deliberately blocked or removed? I think that my comments about the LBTQwerty general attack on all things civilized and that started the ball rolling and then Real Clear Politics removed everything.On another occasion, the Wall Street Journal wouldn't even accent a post that said "A man in a dress is still a man". Apparently their bots block any attempt to comment if it's anti -trans. Your thoughts/war stories?

RealClearPolitics on Sunday flipped New Hampshire’s Senate race to a toss-up after Gen. Don Bolduc gained the momentum last week against Democrat Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH). On Friday, polling showed Bolduc in a dead heat with Hassan (45-45 percent) with seven percent undecided. Bolduc has gained 11 points since September, while Hassan has slipped about six points. The New Hampshire Senate race joins six additional Senate races that RealClearPolitics estimates as a toss-up. Those include Arizona, Nevada, Washington State, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, though Republicans are looking strong in Wisconsin, Georgia, and Nevada. Overall, Republicans have expanded the map throughout...

Based on recent polling, RealClearPolitics projects Republicans will win the hotly contested gubernatorial races in four states that were once seen as Democrat strongholds: Wisconsin, Oregon, Nevada, and, yes, Michigan. One wonders how the latest polling out of Minnesota — polling that shows Republican Dr. Scott Jensen leading his Democrat opponent Tim Walz, 46.3 to 45.8 percent — will affect that RealClear projection.

President Biden sent his inner circle a devastating analysis of then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s looming legal troubles during the 2016 race after he opted against running, according to an email stored on his son Hunter’s infamous laptop. “Interesting,” Biden wrote in the subject line of the email, which contained a link to a column published by Real Clear Politics.

Former Clinton friend and advisor, Dick Morris suggested in February 2018 that the Steele dossier might have been made up by the Clintons and that Steele was only used to provide it some credibility: “The reason Hillary hired Fusion [GPS] is because she needed someone more credible than Sidney Blumenthal and Cody Shearer to float these charges,” Morris alleges. Just as the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee used intermediaries in financing the Steele dossier to keep its fingerprints off a document styled as intelligence and not opposition research, Shearer allegedly used the tactic of laundering to ensure that...

Like all rational Americans, I was happy with the results of the Virginia gubernatorial election this past Tuesday. However, I’m not optimistic, one reason being that a photo-finish victory against a sleazy establishment bagman in a state that a decade ago was reliably red is an indication that we dodged a bullet rather than pulled ahead of the pack. Youngkin’s surprise comeback can be attributed solely to the freak occurrence of the issue of critical race theory arising at just the right time in just the right place to swing just enough votes his way. A month, or a county,...

Real Clear Politics took PA and AZ away from Biden. They now show Biden with 259 EV.

Leaving Biden and Harris with 259.... https://www.realclearpolitics.com/ 

@paulsperry_BREAKING: Latest RCP meta-polling shows momentum shift toward Trump with Trump eating into Biden's nat'l lead by 1.5+ points and narrowing his lead in key battleground states, including Penn & NC, where 1 poll shows Trump has tied it up, while Sen. Tillis has tied up his race too

Biden down a full point in 24 hours.

I watch Tucker Carlson almost every night and I think I get an intelligent and balanced perspective on events. However, recently Tucker is giving a very insightful and powerful view of the news, but it is almost unbearable to watch. I feel that the US has toppled to the forces of anarchy. Tucker is warning us but it almost seems too late with all the events that have taken place. I know this is wrong -- America is still strong and the mayhem on the streets are not reflective of the whole nation. However, by watching Tucker I end up...

2020 Democratic presidential frontrunner and former Vice President Joe Biden said Monday he is open to selecting a Republican running mate to join him on the ticket if nominated this summer. “Our 21-year-old son said the other night, ‘I wonder if Joe Biden would consider choosing a Republican as a running mate,’” one woman asked Biden during a New Hampshire town hall.“The answer is I would, but I can’t think of one now,” Biden responded. “You know there’s some really decent Republicans that are out there still, but here’s the problem right now…they’ve got to step up.”It was a smart...

The New York Times discovered this week that few people around the country seemed to pay much attention to the the House passing articles of impeachment Wednesday making President Donald Trump only the third president in history to be impeached.“It was a momentous day in American history. But, by all indications, it was not a momentous day in the lives of most Americans,” the Times declared. “As history played out Wednesday amid the bombast and rancor of impeachment proceedings, many of them seemed intent on looking elsewhere.”The Times reported on people across the country who remained focused on their day-to-day...

President Trump may consider reported contact between the Ukraine whistleblower and Rep. Adam Schiff's, D-Calif., House Intelligence Committee as free reign to disparage the impeachment inquiry, according to Tom Bevan. Schiff also appears to have not been completely forthright about said contact with the whistleblower in the past, the Real Clear Politics co-founder claimed Wednesday on "Special Report." "This is a gift to Trump," he said.

Former U.S. Sen. George Hanks Brown (R-Colo.), who goes by “Hank Brown,” said in a recent interview that former vice president and current Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden is by no means a moderate. “Senator Biden is a pleasant, outgoing individual,” Brown said. He was a colleague of Biden’s in the early to mid-90s. But Brown added that Biden is certainly no moderate: “He was consistently one of the most liberal members of the U.S. Senate. To hear him described as a moderate could only happen only in Washington D.C.”Hanks’ comments on Biden came in an interview with National Review...

Fox News is President Donald Trump’s favorite network, thanks to its largely favorable coverage. But not everyone on the air there was singing his praises. On Thursday, A.B. Stoddard, an associate editor at Real Clear Politics and a regular on the network, said the anonymous op-ed published this week in The New York Times that claimed there were people in the White House actively working against Trump was likely to set the president off. “I think this writer believes that they’re trying to calm down the country and assure everybody who’s nervous about President Trump’s temperament that all’s well,” Stoddard...

Anyone else notice that realclearpolitics is calling the House race essentially tied (199-D, 202-R) with 34 too close to call. And the Senate 45-48 with seven too close to call? Seems unlikely to me.
