Blue Trickle: We keep hearing from the discredited legacy media and their “polls” that Democratic voters are so jazzed about showing up to the polls in November they’re going to help their party usher in a massive blue wave, the first step toward the objective of impeaching POTUS Donald Trump for…something. But a new assessment from a CBS News pollster — one of the few who projected a Trump electoral victory in 2016 — is really bad news for the party of the unhinged, deranged, and perpetually angry.

In July of last year, the University of Maryland commissioned Zogby to poll the people of Egypt. Here are a few of their findings: 85% of Egyptians hold an unfavorable attitude toward the U.S. 87% of Egyptians have no confidence in the U.S. 92% of Egyptians believe the U.S. is one of two nations that is the greatest threat to them (the other nation the Egyptian people hate is Israel) 52% of Egyptians hold an unfavorable opinion of American people 65% of Egyptians believe that Islamic clergy must play a greater role in the Egyptian political system 79% percent of...

In Maryland Republicans are beginning to get excited about the chances of a return of former Governor Bob Ehrlich to the statehouse. Last February the current governor Democrat Martin O’Malley held a 51/41 lead among Likely Voters. Given the nature of Maryland a ten point lead with nine months to go should have been enough to call the race now. Nevertheless, the Democrat “brand name” is deteriorating so quickly that a June survey, also of Likely Voters, showed O’Malley’s lead had evaporated to an insignificant 44/43 even though Ehrlich has advanced just two points. The answer is Marylanders’ right track/wrong...

A new poll suggests that George W. Bush is the most unpopular president in modern American history. A CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Thursday indicates that 71 percent of the American public disapprove of how Bush his handling his job as president.

"Bush's approval rating, which stands at 28 percent in our new poll, remains better than the all-time lows set...

After officially declaring his candidacy, U.S. Senator Fred Thompson moves ahead of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani in the race for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination. One-third (32%) of those who say they will vote in a Republican primary or caucus will vote for Thompson while 28 percent will vote for Giuliani. Much further back is John McCain, who continues his downward slide with 11 percent saying they would vote for the Arizona Senator, and 9 percent who say they would vote for former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. On the Democratic side, Senator Hillary Clinton continues to build...

It might have been homeland security. Or maybe even the economy. At least that's what the political experts say, when it comes to explaining the Republican Party's success in November's election. But there may be more than meets the eye behind the outcome of 2002 midterm elections. Undoubtedly, with many Senate races being decided by less than 10,000 votes, both the economy and security concerns were politically potent issues. But according to Jennifer G.
