Gallup released the results of the annual poll on abortion. It found that 54 percent of Americans identify as “pro-choice.” That is an increase of two percentage points since last year’s Gallup poll. This poll also found that a record 32 percent of U.S. voters would vote only for a candidate who shares their views on abortion. In their analysis, Gallup indicates that these trends helped Democrats in the 2022 midterm elections and anticipates that they will be beneficial to Democrats running for office in 2024. Overall, there is much less here than meets the eye. First, Gallup found a...

President Joe Biden’s approval rating average (38.7 percent) in the 13th quarter is the lowest of any president recorded, Gallup polling found on Friday. Biden’s terrible approval numbers of his 13th quarter in office, which began on January 20 and ended April 19, suggests he will have a difficult time winning reelection. Presidents historically need to average around 50 percent to win reelection. “Jimmy Carter is the only other president with a sub-50% average in his 13th quarter. Three of the four prior presidents who had 13th-quarter approval averages below 50% lost their reelection bids, with Obama the exception,” Gallup...

Newsmax ^ | April 28, 2024 | Eric Mack
Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump calls President Joe Biden the "worst president in history," and now there is new polling data to back that up. Biden rates as the least popular president in the 70-year history of the data, according to latest Gallup Poll results released this weekend, trumping the previously lowest-rated presidencies of Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush, and Richard Nixon. "With about six months remaining before Election Day, Biden stands in a weaker position than any prior incumbent, and thus faces a taller task than they did in getting reelected," Gallup's Jeffrey Jones wrote in his Bottom...

Really?! Are 22% of Gen Z LGBTQ+? This is the result of a recent Gallup Poll

I have a very difficult time believing that this is actually true, mainly because it seems to contradict evolutionary theory. But, according to a Gallup poll, over 22% of Gen Z adults identify as LGBTQ+, and the overall proportion of all adults who do so has more than doubled since 2012. This seems implausible to me, although I do not doubt Gallup's numbers themselves. Almost a quarter of Gen Z adults identify as LGBTQ+ https://t.co/hDaW7DlBZq— Axios (@axios) March 13, 2024Axios' analysis of the poll is, as is always the case with Axios, short and to the point. 7.6% of adults...

The percentage of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer adults in the U.S. continues to increase, reaching an all-time high of 7.6% in 2023, according to a new Gallup report. Broken down by gender, the survey of 12,000 people 18 and older across the country found that women were nearly twice as likely as men to identify as LGBTQ. “Almost 30% of Gen Z women identify as LGBTQ+, most as bisexual,” Jeffrey Jones, a senior editor at Gallup, told NBC News. “That’s where a lot of the growth seems to be happening.”

Americans’ satisfaction with the nation’s global image under President Joe Biden is at its lowest mark (33 percent) since 2017, a Gallup poll found on Monday. In contrast, 53 percent were satisfied with the position of the U.S. in the world under former President Donald Trump in February 2020. Gallup tracked the question of America’s global image since 2000. The current mark of 33 percent is lower than previous years under Biden’s leadership. Thirty-seven percent were satisfied with the United States’ global image in Biden’s previous three years, still far below Trump’s 2020 record, according to the poll: The last...

The latest Gallup poll shows that the economy and immigration have dragged His Fraudulency Joe Biden’s job approval rating down to 38 percent. Biden’s disapproval rating is 59 percent. Among Democrats, Biden earns an 82 percent approval rating, which is okay but not great and nowhere near the expected 90+ percent range. Only 32 percent of Independents approve of the job Biden’s doing. This number was in the fifties during Biden’s first year in office. His disapproval number with this group is 62 percent. In the previous Gallup poll measuring Biden’s monthly job approval, Biden sat at 41 percent approval....
 

"Biden Reelection Chances Do Not Look Favorable": Political, Economic Indicators "Not Promising", Gallup Poll Finds

Gallup ^ | 02/16/2024 | Jeffrey Jones and Megan Brennan
Several key indicators of the 2024 election environment indicate that President Joe Biden faces an uphill climb to win a second term. His job approval rating, Americans’ satisfaction with how things are going in the country and their confidence in the economy are below the levels associated with successful reelection bids in recent elections.While Democrats hold a slight edge in national party identification and partisan leanings, that advantage is smaller than what it has been in past presidential elections won by Democratic incumbents.In less direct measures of the electoral environment, Americans are more inclined to say that they are worse...

A majority of registered voters in a poll released Friday said they think President Biden and most members of Congress don’t deserve reelection. The Gallup survey found 61 percent of registered voters said Biden doesn’t deserve reelection, while 38 percent said they think he deserves to stay in the White House for another four years. Additionally, only 24 percent of respondents said most members of Congress deserved reelection, and 67 percent said they do not. Despite voters’ opinions regarding most of Congress and Biden, 55 percent of respondents said their representative in their congressional district deserves reelection. Thirty-four percent disagreed....

Americans are more optimistic about the future of Social Security than they have been in recent years, a new survey from Gallup found. Among non-retirees, 50 percent expect Social Security to pay them a benefit when they retire, compared to 47 percent who do not think the system will help them. The response from non-retirees is up from readings taken between 2005 and 2015, when majorities of non-retirees polled said they did not think that they would receive benefits from the system, Gallup found. Current retirees believe they will continue to receive full benefits under Social Security.
 

Masks Off: Alarming New Gallup Poll Blows Growing Democrat Schism Over the Israel Issue Wide Open

Red State. ^ | October 27, 2023 | Sister Toldjah
Ever since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war, which was started by Hamas terrorists who launched surprise attacks on Israeli civilians on October 7th, outspoken pro-Israel Democrats have sought to tamp down on talk of there being a major schism among Democrats over the Israel issue. A prime example is Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.), the self-described "embodiment of a pro-Israel progressive," who during a recent interview where he tore into Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) over her suggestion that he was "comfortable" with Palestinian deaths nevertheless denied there was a "deep divide" among Congressional Democrats on the issue of support for...

While most politicians, media outlets, talking heads, and political pundits eagerly jump all over the latest poll results about whatever or whomever, most polls are simply snapshots in time (popularity contests, as it were), while some polls lay bare deep-seated trends, good or bad, depending on one's views. The results of a new poll from Gallup reveal a perfect example of the latter.After more than 32 months of Joe Biden's presidency — arguably the worst presidency in at least modern history — likely voters across the board continue to reject Biden's policies, and the objectives of a Democrat Party that...

Americans’ views of the economy worsened in September, according to recent data from Gallup. The survey giant found that only 20 percent of U.S. adults say economic conditions are “excellent” or “good.” Thirty-two percent said they are “only fair” and 48 percent say they are “poor.” Last month, 23 percent of respondents called economic conditions “excellent” or “good.” Thirty-five percent said they were “only fair” and 42 percent said they were “poor” at the time. Americans’ outlook for the economy also soured, according to the latest data, with 73 percent saying “economic conditions in the country as a whole” are...

A growing number of people in America prefer families of three or more children, hitting the highest desire for large families since 1971. According to a Gallup survey released Monday, the number of people who prefer smaller and larger family sizes are statistically tied, bouncing back from a decadeslong trend of believing one or two children was ideal. "Overall, this recent survey shows that Americans might finally be climbing out of the anti-family bomb shelter caused by the myths of the 1960’s of a population explosion disaster," Terry Schilling, the president of the American Principles Project, told the Washington Examiner....

Three in 10 Americans believe the COVID-19 pandemic is worsening, while more than one in four worry about being infected, according to a new Gallup poll.

That marks a 25 percent increase from a similar poll published in May, where 5 percent of respondents said they believe the pandemic is getting worse. Along political party lines, 44 percent of Democrat respondents believe the ongoing pandemic is getting...

Getting high is becoming as American as apple pie. Half of U.S. residents have tried marijuana, and 17% currently smoke weed — both new highs since the tune-in drop-out 1960s, a new Gallup survey released Thursday revealed. The poll attributed the increases to growing acceptance of cannabis, with 23 states including New York, legalizing recreational use of weed and 38 states allowing the sale for medicinal purposes. “As marijuana has become more available to Americans and legal in an increasing number of states, their reports of use and experimentation have increased too. Now, half of the country has tried it,...

Americans’ faith in the U.S. military has declined to its lowest level in more than 20 years, according to a recently released poll. Conducted by Gallup from June 1-22, the survey found that over the past five years, an increasing percentage of Americans are now “less likely” to voice “a great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence in the U.S. military. According to the poll, 74 percent of Americans expressed such sentiments as recently as 2018. That number has since declined to 60 percent, marking the lowest level since 1997. As noted by Gallup, overall confidence in the U.S....
