Like all good flimfam artists, President Trump is a master of misdirection. As Americans grow increasingly skeptical of his inflationary tariffs, deficit-swelling tax cuts and senseless push to gut federal agencies and research, he floods the zone with a firehose of falsehoods to shift media and public attention elsewhere. Take his grandstanding plan to dispatch U.S. troops to Chicago and other cities, as he’s already done to Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. It’s a classic “wag the dog” ploy with a Trumpian twist: Instead of fabricating a foreign military crisis to divert voters from their domestic woes, he’s invading America’s...

"Democracy," H.L. Mencken once wrote, "is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard." Mencken probably would feel right at home among Californians in this age. Or, perhaps more accurately, among the Californians who haven't left yet.According to a new poll from Politico and its partners, California voters want graft and fraud on a massive scale to continue. And lucky for them, they've elected a governor who can deliver! For example, slightly more than six in ten Californians want Gavin Newsom to keep funding the high-speed rail project that hasn't...

In the aftermath of Donald Trump’s 2024 election, there was a mandate for him to stop the invasion across our borders. Overwhelmingly, the public wanted illegal aliens to be removed from our country, particularly those who were criminals. That’s when the controversy began:President Donald Trump’s signature promise during his campaign was to carry out the ‘largest deportation’ operation in U.S. history, targeting all migrants “who violated the law coming into this country.”Since anyone living in the U.S. without legal permission has broken civil immigration law, Trump would have to deport all of the 11 million to 12 million immigrants living...

Congressional Democrats' job approval rating has plunged to a record low, with less than 20 percent of registered voters approving of their performance and a majority of Democratic voters expressing disapproval, according to a new poll. Only 19 percent of voters are satisfied with how Democratic officials are performing in Congress—the lowest rating ever recorded by Quinnipiac University since its pollsters began asking the question in 2009. Seventy-two percent said they disapprove, while 10 percent offered no opinion, the Wednesday poll found. Even among Democratic voters, disapproval outweighed support. Fifty-two percent said they disapprove of their congressional leaders, compared with...

NEW YORK, July 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A new poll from HarrisX finds the New York City mayoral race shaping up to be a tight and competitive contest, with Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani statistically tied with former Governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa in a four-way race. While Mamdani leads Mayor Eric Adams in a head-to-head race, the poll shows Cuomo defeating the Democratic nominee by a wide 15-point margin in a one-on-one contest. In a four-way race, Mamdani (26 percent) is tied with Cuomo (23 percent) and Sliwa (22 percent), all within the margin of error. Adams is...

A new poll reveals a sharp decline in support for the Democratic Party since the 2024 election, as frustrated voters say the party has drifted far from the concerns of everyday Americans. Instead of focusing on inflation, border security, or public safety, Democrats are increasingly seen as obsessed with destroying President Donald Trump's legacy, woke virtue signaling, and identity politics. A poll conducted by Unite the Country, a Democratic super PAC, shows that many voters — especially white men, Hispanic men, and working-class Americans — see the Democratic Party as “woke,” “weak,” and disconnected from everyday realities. The party’s approval...

Three-quarters of the Americans who voted for President Trump in 2024 are backing further economic sanctions on Russia as it continues its war against Ukraine, a new poll shows. The Vandenberg Coalition in late June found that around 77% of Trump voters viewed Russia as a threat, 75% backed additional sanctions, and 70% said it was “vital to prevent Russia from invading other European nations,” according to results obtained exclusively by The Post. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) revealed Sunday that Trump had given him the go-ahead on a bill he introduced to tighten sanctions on Moscow. “If you’re buying products...

It’s been known for quite some time that liberals don’t read all the polling data or dismiss it when it doesn’t comport with their narrative. That’s how arrogant the Left has become: we think ‘x’, therefore it’s right. Nope. That’s not how this works, and you saw that as congressional Democrats whined and threw a tantrum about the reconciliation package, which, among many things, gave a windfall to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. No doubt, making the Trump tax cuts permanent angered the Left, but it’s that the southern border being secured is what drives them up the wall the most....

A record-high share of American voters are content with the work of Republican lawmakers, according to the latest NPR/PBS News/Marist Poll. In the survey, conducted in late June, 36 percent of registered voters approve of the job Republicans in Congress are doing — the highest level recorded since pollsters began asking the question in 2011. The latest approval rating also marks a 10-point jump from the last time the question was asked, in February 2024, when 26 percent of registered voters approved of the job Republicans in Congress were doing. Before that, the survey was conducted in March 2021, when...

Although Americans remain more likely to say their sympathies in the Middle East situation are with the Israelis rather than the Palestinians, the 46% expressing support for Israel is the lowest in 25 years of Gallup’s annual tracking of this measure on its World Affairs survey. The previous 51% low point in this trend of Americans’ sympathy for Israelis was recorded both last year and in 2001. At the same time, the 33% of U.S. adults who now say they sympathize with the Palestinians is up six percentage points from last year and the highest reading by two points. The...

According to the latest Fox News poll, conducted between June 13-16 among 1,003 registered voters, 73 percent think Iran poses a real threat to the U.S., a 13-point increase from six years ago. That includes a majority of Democrats (69 percent), Republicans (82 percent), and Independents (62 percent), and those numbers are up since 2019 (by 12, 17, and 4 points respectively), says Fox News. The latest J.L. Partners poll, conducted between June 16-17 among 1,039 registered voters, shows similar levels of support. According to the poll, Americans overwhelmingly see Iran as a serious threat: 73 percent say Iran having...

Americans are divided over the “No Kings” protests, which were held across the country on Saturday, according to new polling. The demonstrations — which coincided with President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday and the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary parade in Washington, D.C. — were a response to what organizers called the president’s authoritarian actions. About 2,100 individual protests were held, which, in total, were attended by around 5 million people, according to an estimate from the American Civil Liberties Union, which helped organize the demonstrations. “Today’s protests are a resounding message that people across the nation will not be intimidated by...

The California Democratic Party is reportedly seeking to address concerns regarding the electability of California politicians following former Vice President Kamala Harris’s defeat in the 2024 presidential election. Delegates have gathered to induct new members and prepare for upcoming elections. Harris addressed the group through a pre-recorded video message, and Gov. Gavin Newsom was absent. Supporters consider Harris essential to advancing key Democratic priorities, including labor rights and women’s healthcare. However, some Democrats expressed concern about her ability to connect with working-class voters. Delegate Jane Baulch-Enloe said, “I don’t know if a California Democrat can win a presidential election. California...

Democrats are trying to push this narrative about the L.A. anti-ICE riots — that if they stopped the ICE raids, the riots would stop. They want to use the riots to hold over our heads. They are variously arguing that President Donald Trump didn't need to call in the guard because they had it in hand/it wasn't a lot of violence/protests were peaceful, depending on the Democrat. They try this, despite there being numerous videos of violence, including violence against law enforcement officers. But it looks like whatever propaganda they're trying to sell, the American people aren't buying it. They're...

Democrats should check out what CNN's Harry Enten had to say on Monday. He had some polling numbers that show how much support there is for President Donald Trump's deportation policies. Enten explained how Trump's net approval on immigration since eight years ago has "gone up like a rocket." Why Trump's eager for an immigration fight: His net approval is positive (+1 pt) & up like a rocket vs. term 1.Specific Approval:-54% for Trump's deportation program for those here illegally-51% of ICE searchesVoters also say Dems have no clue on immigration (GOP +10). pic.twitter.com/IdHaPx8Ud4— (((Harry Enten))) (@ForecasterEnten) June 9, 2025He's...

While CNN might be trash when it comes to covering incidents of antisemitic terrorism, they still can hide everything Democrats are doing wrong. Remember that dismal 21 percent approval numbers the party had with voters? Well, it got worse. Two new figures from CNN’s polling showed that 16 percent of Americans felt the Democrats had strong leaders. Only 19 percent said Democrats get anything done. All this party does is whine about Trump, cater to their ‘woke,’ unhinged voter sects, and go on MSNBC to repeat pre-packaged and poorly communicated talking points. ... Some of these figures are driven down...

More than 30% of Democrat voters support Pete Buttigieg as their preferred candidate for the 2028 presidential race, according to a new national poll, positioning him ahead of prominent party figures such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and former Vice President Kamala Harris, Breitbart reported. A new AtlasIntel poll has found that the former transportation secretary leads the field of potential Democratic candidates for the 2028 presidential election, garnering support from 31.5 percent of Democratic-identifying respondents. The survey, conducted from May 21-27 polled 3,469 adults across the United States. The margin of error was not provided. Ocasio-Cortez received the second-highest...

Four days ago, as French President Emmanuel Macron arrived for a Vietnam state visit, he got slapped by his wife Brigitte. First, he tried to deny it ever happened, blamed AI; then he said it was just playing between them – even though he descended the stairs with clenched fist and a set jaw. French President Emmanuel Macron responds after he apparently got assaulted in the face by his wife Brigitte while stepping off of a plane in Vietnam. Macron was seen getting shoved in the face before getting off the plane as if nothing happened. Macron has since responded...
