Democratic Pollster Patrick Caddell, who was credited with helping get Jimmy Carter elected president, but also with limiting him to one term, died Saturday from complications of a stroke at his home in Charleston, S.C., The New York Times reports. He was 68. Caddell, a self-taught pollster, was considered instrumental in Carter's victory in 1976, but he also persuaded the president to make the speech that became known as the "malaise" speech that branded him as weak and ended up costing him the 1980 election to Republican Ronald Reagan.

Pat Caddell talked all things media and President Trump with Breitbart News Daily SiriusXM host Alex Marlow on Monday. Caddell said, “I think they are united in a narrative. And that narrative is, somebody did something wrong. It was Donald Trump and therefore, at the end of the day, he must not be president.”

Pollster and analyst Pat Caddell spoke with Breitbart News Daily SiriusXM host Matt Boyle on Friday about his reaction to Thursday’s testimony by former FBI Director James Comey as well as the media’s reaction. “I didn’t think it was a great day for the media, said Caddell. “However, if you watched some of the other cable news networks, you’d think this was a disaster for Trump. It was anything but.” He went on to call out the media for pursuing a political agenda, as opposed to the truth, saying that media today is actually “a danger to democracy.”

Longtime Democrat pollster and analyst Pat Caddell talked with Breitbart News Daily SiriusXM host Alex Marlow on Friday about his thoughts and observations on President Donald’s Trump’s first 100 days in office, as well as the recent performance of both major parties. Asked what kind of a “letter grade” he would give Trump for his first 100 days, Caddell said, “I would give him a C+, which is not great, but that’s okay because I give the Democrats and Republicans Fs and F-s. And I give the press, as you might have guessed, a letter that doesn’t exist.”

Caddell also discussed Trump’s victory in November and its impact on Washington. Said Caddell regarding concerns he had immediately after Trump’s win, “The great concern for the Trump administration is that it’s a Trump White House but is this going to be a Ryan government?” “Is this going to be,” he added, “where they use him to impose what they want to do rather than supporting what he got elected to do?” Caddell said he still worries about that and believe events unfolding around the healthcare bill are an example of that.

For more than two years the American people, in a great majority, from left to right, have been in revolt against the political class and the financial elites in America. It is a revolt with historic parallels, most closely resembling the Jacksonian revolution of the 1820s. It is an uprising. It is a peaceful uprising of a people who see a country in decline and see nothing but failure in the performance of their leadership institutions. And they have signaled their intent to take back their country and to reclaim their sovereignty. ADVERTISEMENT Unfortunately, the analysts, the pollsters and most...

Pat Caddell joined Breitbart News Daily SiriusXM host Alex Marlow on Wednesday to discuss recent polls and the closing days of the 2016 presidential race, saying he senses “a look of desperation about trying to prop her up” coming from the Clinton camapign.

Citing shifting polls and bad news for Hillary Clinton as the investigation into her email scandal was reinvigorated this week, Pat Caddell told Breitbart News Daily SiriusXM host Alex Marlow on Tuesday that Clinton “looks kind of hysterical, out there making wild attacks now and going crazy.” Clinton began claiming that there are ties between Republican nominee Donald Trump and Russia while on the stump after a story broke via Slate; however, the New York Times quickly debunked the item. Caddell continued, “I think they don’t know what to do,” also pointing out that Hillary Clinton’s unfavorables appear to be...

AMAZING! Former Democrat pollster Pat Caddell says this year's election could be like 1980 - a 40 state Trump landslide!

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Now, let's move on to 1980. This Indiana poll, I don't want to get ahead of myself here. But I have to tell you -- and I know it's Indiana, but Monmouth, they're at the top of the poll in terms of respect and credibility in this particular polling season. I don't know. Maybe some of you expected to see a state poll with Trump up by 11 a week out, but I didn't. And I will guarantee you the Hillary camp didn't expect to see it. And they may try say, "Well, of course. It's Indiana....

“Something is going to happen here, I just sense it,” he concluded. Either “Hillary will glide into the White House, or we’re headed for one of the greatest shocks in American politics. I think it’s a very close call. I think the shock potential is enormous.”

Pollster and political analyst Pat Caddell discussed results from the latest Breitbart News/Gravis poll on Thursday morning with Breitbart News Daily SiriusXM host Alex Marlow, saying, “In particular, I’m fascinated with this refugee question. We’re seeing great opposition even among large numbers of Democrats and Hillary voters against the refugee expansion, which the mainstream media basically doesn’t cover.” “It didn’t get a lot of play, or at least coherent play, in the debate,” continued Caddell. “That’s about sixty percent” opposed to the expansion of the program.
