As Seen By Trump's Favorite Pollster Trump has praised the Rasmussen poll multiple times and ha characterized it as "... a very, very, I think, accurate poll over the last nine or 10 years." Trump's net approval with Rasmussen is now -11 percent—his lowest of the second term—with 44% approval...

Is the Trade War Worth The Trouble? The whole point of US-imposed tariffs was to increase US manufacturing and manufacturing jobs, was it not? If so, where are the positive results? The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) issues their monthly Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) report. This is...

Allowing Time for the Time it Takes After every election cycle, campaign operatives have what they call their postmortems. Coming together from all sides, various operatives from various campaigns and levels gather at dozens of meetings around the country, sponsored by political organizations...

Voters in seven of the 10 states that had abortion rights on the ballot voted to expand or guarantee abortion rights. But abortion rights advocacy did not carry over to become Trump opposition. So, as things turned out, abortion rights was not the defining issue of 2024.

Like Trump not attending Biden's inauguration.

Agreed. The problem is, the same was said in prior elections. Yet, polls are like a car wreck. People (and the media) can't help looking at them, even if you know you should direct your eyes elsewhere. Due in no small part to the "science" the pollsters talk about, we expect the polls to be...

Acknowledging the error. Learning from it. Moving on. "The poll findings we produced for The Des Moines Register and Mediacom did not match what the Iowa electorate ultimately decided in the voting booth [Tuesday],” Selzer said in a statement provided to the Register. “I’ll be reviewing data...

Ralston Provides Early Numbers Time shown is Eastern Time

Didn't Work Before, Won't Work Now Trump cried wolf before, and it didn't work then. He's crying wolf now, and it will have even less impact ahead. Same old tired song from the same old tired man. Only this time, he'll no longer be a contender for the White House. He'll have even fewer legs to...

Republicans Need Better Lawyers But they don't want better lawyers, because if they had them, there would be none willing to abuse the justice system with toddler-level filings. Look for a flurry of such findings after Election Day. The flurry has already begun. As with the last election...

Trump Can Dish it Out But Cannot Take It Trump is fine calling the press enemy of the people. He's fine complaining about censorship. And he's fine censoring media outlets because he does not like what they say about him. Poor baby. "Trump campaign denies and revokes journalists’ election...
