Recent polls show resident Joe Biden sitting at a dismal 38% approval rating and Vice President Kamala Harris at an equally, but unsurprisingly, depressing 28% approval rating just nine months into their terms. Even with the army of political propaganda outlets -- or, dare I say, "journalists" -- vehemently opposing former President Donald Trump and supporting Biden and his Democratic colleagues, Trump's approval rating was still about the same at around 38%. What does this say about the current leadership of our country? Should we simply chalk this up to a contentious, all-or-nothing political climate? Or is it something more...

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) is leading former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) by 6 points in the Lone Star State’s gubernatorial race, according to a new poll, days after O’Rourke officially launched his bid for office in his home state. The poll, conducted by the Dallas Morning News and the University of Texas at Tyler, found that in a head-to-head matchup between the two candidates, 45 percent of registered voters said they support Abbott, while 39 percent said they are backing O’Rourke. Sixteen percent of respondents said they would vote for a different candidate for governor.

resident Joe Biden has united the American people -- in disapproving of his performance, with 70% of Americans disliking the direction the economy is going and over 6 in 10 blaming him for it. The impact of inflation on people's pocketbooks and concerns over the expanding role of government are important in explaining those low approval numbers. A good time to change course is now. A recent Washington Post-ABC poll asked, "How concerned are you, if at all, that Biden will do too much to increase the size and role of government in U.S. society?" Some 59% said they were...

The left-wing media’s sad record of elevating President Joe Biden’s “Build Back Better” farce has crashed and burned so hard with Americans that even left-wing polls can’t hide it. Navigator Research, which bills itself as a “resource for progressives,” reportedly released a new poll that showed that most voters don’t believe Biden and Congress are focused on jobs and the economy, according to The Cook Political Report Publisher & Editor-in-Chief Amy Walter. Specifically, according to the graphic Walter tweeted, only 38 percent of Americans believe Biden and Congress have made the economy and jobs a priority. What’s even more damning...

McAuliffe receives 45 percent to Youngkin’s 53 percent in a new Fox News survey of Virginia likely voters. Youngkin’s eight-point advantage is outside the poll’s margin of sampling error. That’s a big shift from two weeks ago, when McAuliffe was ahead by five, 51-46 percent.

<p>Biden campaigned as someone who could bring the country together. Since taking office, he's made no effort to do that. Instead, he has continually conceded to his party's far-left wing, which is growing crazier by the day. It's not clear if Biden is just too weak to take them on or if he is buying into their craziness, but either way, people are not happy. The Democrats are somehow making the Republicans seem appealing again to your average non-politically aligned voter. Given the current disarray in the Republican Party, this was a tall task. It's almost as if the two parties are competing to see who can turn off the middle more. This week, the Democrats are in the lead. Their policies are so crazy not even their allies in the dominant corporate media can succeed in selling them.</p>

Here's a jarring thought: Most political analysts, and most political strategists for our two political parties, have been operating off flawed data and flawed assumptions. The result has been one political surprise after another, and the election of the two most unsatisfactory presidents, in the minds of many voters, since Franklin Pierce and James Buchanan in the 1850s. The flawed data has been apparent for some years, since a June 9, 2016, column by New York Times election analyst Nate Cohn. As he recently reprised in a Twitter thread, his argument was that there are more noncollege white voters in...

resident Joe Biden's administration is now defined by soaring COVID-19 numbers, a botched Afghanistan retreat and millions of Americans who are not simply unemployed but are unwilling to work. Biden campaigned on the promise of increasing America's morale, enhancing our international standing and doing a better job controlling COVID-19 than his predecessor. But the exact opposite has occurred, and his poll numbers have plummeted. According to a recent poll from Reuters, just 43% of those surveyed approved of Biden, while 51% disapproved. The same poll showed that although the majority of Americans wanted to leave Afghanistan, 51% disapproved of Biden's...

resident Biden’s vaccine mandates for the private sector, healthcare workers, and federal employees are proving to be particularly unpopular for a key Democratic constituency: black voters. According to a new Morning Consult survey, which was conducted Sept. 18-20, the president’s net approval rating among unvaccinated black voters tanked 17 points since a Sept. 6-8 survey, just before the mandates were announced. Biden’s net approval rating—"the share who approve of his job performance minus the share who disapprove”—fell 12 percentage points among black voters during this same period. resident Biden’s vaccine mandates for the private sector, healthcare workers, and federal employees...

A majority of adults, at 53 percent, say that President Joe Biden's handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan is to blame for the death of 13 U.S. service members as a result of a terrorist attack at the Kabul airport on August 26. This is according to a Washington Post-ABC News conducted August 29-September 1 and released on Friday. "Thirteen members of the U.S. military and at least 170 Afghans were killed near the Kabul airport in a suicide bombing by the Islamic State.

Pollster Jonathan Zogby noted that while the 20% number may seem low, especially considering that...

Rassmussen’s most recent tracking poll of likely voters offers some very bad news for the “most popular man ever elected president in the history of mankind.” It’s taken eight short months for his supposed Mt. Rushmore status to come hurling back to Earth. As it turns out, it’s not even Republicans and Independents he has to worry about. It’s his voters in his own party turning their backs, too. Biden is down to 42% approval with all likely voters. A recent USA Today-Suffolk University poll has VP Harris at 35% approval, 54% disapproval. Rasmussen reports 32% of Democrats say Biden...
