    Most Americans fear the U.S. is “spiraling” out of control, a Reuters/Ipsos survey released days after the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump found. The two-day survey, which ended polling on Tuesday, found four out of ten asserting that the country is “spiraling” out of control, and an even greater figure, 86 percent, believe “acts of violence” are “throwing this country into chaos,” per reporting from Axios: The two-day poll, which closed Tuesday and included 992 registered voters, showed that 56% were “very concerned” about this and 30% were “somewhat concerned” following Saturday’s Pennsylvania rally shooting that killed one...

    Nearly two-thirds of Americans say inflation is a very serious problem heading into the November election, and voters are more likely to trust former President Trump to handle the issue over President Biden, according to a new poll. The latest YouGov poll, released Friday, found that inflation tops the list of issues voters surveyed identified among their top concerns, with 64 percent of respondents saying it is a major problem. The survey included 25 issues to rank as a serious problem, somewhat serious problem, minor problem or not a problem. Other issues that ranked among voters’ most serious concerns included...

    So 2024 could be the new 1968, a watershed political year characterized by malefactors attacking iconic political leaders. That’s the fear of a full 67% of Americans polled in the wake of a sniper attack on former President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pa., Saturday evening. Two out of every three of the 4,339 Americans YouGov surveyed believe political violence is more likely — suggesting the shots fired at the presumptive GOP presidential nominee in his last campaign stop before the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee are a preamble to further violence.

    The electric vehicle revolution is encountering significant hurdles as consumers grapple with high costs, infrastructure challenges, and geopolitical tensions, potentially slowing the transition from traditional gas-powered cars, according to a report by Fast Company. Fast Company reports the automotive industry has undergone a significant transformation with the push towards electric vehicles in recent years. However, the road to widespread EV adoption is proving to be bumpy, with several obstacles threatening to stall progress.
  • 30 Statistics That Prove Average Americans Are Being Financially Destroyed

    Even though most Americans have been struggling financially over the past few years, not everyone has been doing badly during the current economic turmoil. In fact, there are some households that are doing exceptionally well. Some articles point out that companies that cater to average Americans are doing quite poorly right now while companies that market luxury goods and services are reporting massive profits. However, overall consumer spending has been slowing down. It looks like the majority of U.S. workers either can’t spend a lot of money right now or are very hesitant to. At the same time, there is...

    Despite living at a time in which there's great focus on political and religious differences within the country, 80% of Americans say they're proud of their nation and its history, a Rasmussen Reports survey found. Rasmussen simply asked 1,240 American adults two questions: 1. Are you proud to be an American? 2. Generally speaking, should Americans be proud or ashamed of the history of the United States? Only 10% of respondents say they are not proud to be an American, while another 10% are not sure, according to the survey results. In November 2019, 84% said they were proud to...

    Viral video captured the moment chairs and fists went flying during a wild brawl aboard a Carnival cruise ship, as security officers tried in vain to douse the melee. The high-seas scuffle erupted aboard the Carnival Paradise on the last night of a five-day cruise to Central America in early June — adding turbulence to an otherwise idyllic voyage, said passenger Nick Richardson, who shot the footage after coming up on the scene. “This is just what happens at 3 in the morning when you got a bunch of drunk girls from Tampa,” said Richardson, 43, who was on the...

    First Lady Jill Biden said she is “trying to be out there” to explain to the American people what she believes her husband, President Joe Biden, has achieved for them, she said during an interview published in Vogue. Jill Biden is featured on the cover of the magazine’s August issue, and it features a lengthy profile on the first lady, who has come under the spotlight as of late as critics believe she is the driving force behind her husband refusing to drop out of the presidential race, despite widespread panic among Democrats, particularly after Thursday’s debate. “Each campaign is...

    On Thursday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “Cuomo,” Democratic Strategist James Carville said that “President Biden has not done as well with younger voters as he should be. … And the truth of the matter is, this economy is not that good for young Americans, we’ve got people in college. College is very expensive. Mortgages are very expensive.” While discussing polling data among college students, Carville said, “President Biden has not done as well with younger voters as he should be. He’s doing a little better with older voters. And the truth of the matter is, this economy is not that good...

    There’s a very disturbing trend unfolding in Biden’s upside-down America. Political dissidents—Americans who refuse to conform to the regime—are being targeted, harassed, imprisoned, and even killed. It’s increasingly feeling like Joe is channeling his inner Kim Jong-Un. This isn’t the America we know, yet here we are, up against one of the most tyrannical governments to ever seize power. In another horrific nightmare, a Trump supporter has been fatally shot by federal ATF agents during a raid at his home, leaving his family and friends shocked, horrified, and bewildered. ... While we struggle to understand what happened to this man,...

    A 77 percent majority of Americans say politicians use transgenderism to distract voters from important political fights. The poll did not say if Americans put more blame on Republican or Democratic politicians for the transgender distraction. But the poll included a second question about politicians’ greater focus on transgender claims: “Do you think this is a good thing for society, a bad thing for society, or neither a good nor bad thing for society?”

    Most Americans agree that former President Donald Trump’s business records trial is a “political sham,” the Trump campaign said at the start of jury deliberations, which began Wednesday. “According to the appended memo based on our internal surveys conducted by Tony Fabrizio, well over 50 percent of Americans have consistently stated the trial is a political sham,” the Trump campaign’s Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles said in a memo released Wednesday. “A vast majority of Republicans and independents believe that the prosecution has failed to make their case that Donald Trump did anything wrong. They see the corrupt Judge and...

    resident Joe Biden tore into Donald Trump over his record on race on Wednesday, targeting the former president for his past comments before a crowd of Black voters in Philadelphia. “What would’ve happened if Black Americans had stormed the Capitol? I don’t think he’d be talking about pardons,” Biden said. “This is the same guy who wanted to tear gas you as you peacefully protested George Floyd’s murder. It’s the same guy who still calls the ‘Central Park Five’ guilty, even though they were exonerated. He’s that landlord who denies housing applications because of the color of your skin. He’s...

    MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle called upon the president of Chicago’s Federal Reserve to tell viewers that they are economically far better off than they think. "We need an economic explainer," the MSNBC host said. "People are confused, they’re exhausted, but they’re also doing quite well." Ruhle, who hosts MSNBC’s "The Eleventh Hour," had been discussing a recent Federal Reserve report that "shows people are still struggling to cover day-to-day expenses, even as inflation has slowed." She noted how some major brands are responding by enticing consumers with slashed prices, "Target says it is cutting prices on 5,000 essential items, things...

    DAKAR, Senegal —Three Americans involved in a brazen weekend attack on Congo's presidential palace formed an unlikely band under the leadership of eccentric opposition figure Christian Malanga, who dabbled in gold mining and used cars — before persuading his Utah-born son to join in the foiled coup, according to officials' description of events. Six people, including Malanga, were dead and dozens arrested, including the three Americans, following that attack and another on the residence of a close ally of President Felix Tshisekedi, the Congolese army spokesperson Brig. Gen. Sylvain Ekenge said. Ekenge said Malanga was killed in a shootout early...

    It is election year and one candidate divides Americans like nobody else. Reviled with an intense fury by many, he is adored as a protector by many others aghast at developments being pushed by social radicals. His previous — and graceless — fall from power was accompanied by assurances from the great and good that his career was over and that he could never return. Now, thanks to his extraordinary political skills, he has recaptured and remade the Republican Party. In so doing, he has broadened its base by attracting voters from groups that were long part of the Democratic...

    Migrants — not voting Americans and their children — “are what makes us [economically] strong,” President Joe Biden told a May 1 fundraiser for pro-migration groups at the elite Mayflower Hotel in Washington D.C. Biden’s statement spotlights his policy of inflating the national economy with Extraction Migration — not by raising U.S. exports to developing countries or by growing Americans’ all-important productivity with more investment in workplace automation and innovation.

    Climate change gets all the attention but Americans are far more worried about inflation, crime, illegal immigration, and the federal deficit. Results of a Gallup survey released on Monday showed that while Americans are very much aware of the claims of climate alarmists, the share of Americans who say they are very concerned about the issue is relatively small. “Among the leading issues confronting the nation, the environment ranks as a lesser public concern, with 37 percent saying they worry a great deal about environmental quality,” Gallup reports.
