....major disagreements between the different polls. Why do I say that? Take a look here. Okay, this is the net approval rating. That's the approval rating minus the disapproval rating. And this is the net approval rating for US military action in Iran. Look at this. CNN, our own CNN poll shows that the net approval rating is minus 18 points. Very similar to the Ipsos polling at -6 points. But then all of a sudden, you see the NBC News polling and look at this. You see it at - 11 points, getting a little bit more popular. And...

Republicans are surging after President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address and might be in position to defy history in the midterm elections, polling shows. The Harvard Harris poll found Republicans are in a much better position heading into midterm elections than previously assessed. The poll asked respondents if the congressional election were held today would they be more likely to vote for a Democrat or a Republican for Congress, finding likely midterm voters split down the middle. The results mark an eight-point swing towards Republicans in the Harvard Harris poll since January when 54 percent of respondents replied...

A stunning new survey conducted by the Center for American Political Studies at Harvard (CAPS), the Harris Poll, and HarrisX suggests that the GOP has drawn even with the Democrats with eight months to go until the midterm elections. The poll of 1,999 registered voters, which was conducted online between February 25 and 26, found that 50% of Americans would vote for the Republican candidate in their congressional district and 50% would vote for the Democratic one if the midterms were held today.

WASHINGTON, March 1 (Reuters) - Only one in four Americans approves of the U.S. strikes that killed Iran’s leader, while about half — including one in four Republicans — believe President Donald Trump is too willing to use military force, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll that concluded on Sunday. Some 27% of respondents said they approved of the strikes, while 43% disapproved and 29% were not sure. About nine in 10 respondents said they had heard at least a little about the strikes, which began early on Saturday. The poll was conducted during the strikes on Iran by the U.S....

First they asked, “Have you ever pretended to hold more progressive views than you truly endorse to succeed socially or academically?” Among the students they interviewed, 88% said yes. Then they broke it down into specific questions: 80% said they’d submitted classwork that misrepresented their views to align with professors. 78% said they self-censor their own beliefs about gender identity.

A new survey by Emerson College found that 45% of voters disapprove of the governor’s job performance— the highest number since October 2024 and a six-point increase from December 2025.

President Donald Trump has barely finished the first year of his second term in office, but already pollsters are looking to the midterm 2026 congressional battle and 2028 presidential election. That includes the I&I/TIPP Poll. Believe it or not, many voters are already deciding whom they will support. The latest national online I&I/TIPP Poll asked registered voters of both major parties and independents two questions about their preferences. The poll, which was taken by 1,126 registered voters from Jan. 27 to Jan. 29, has an overall margin of error of +/-3.1 percentage points. The first question: If the vote...

The tidal wave of anti-debt, anti-big-government voters that swamped Democrats in the 2010 congressional elections is readying itself again, poised to sweep Mitt Romney into the Oval Office, some political observers say. “It’s very, very likely,” veteran Republican campaign pollster John McLaughlin said, predicting a Romney tsunami Tuesday. “Romney has surged in all the target states,” Mr. McLaughlin said. “The undecided vote is not really undecided. They overwhelmingly disapprove of the job the president has done and will largely vote against the incumbent. It’s a hidden vote that will vote against the president.”

The video highlights a batch of fresh polls (mostly from the past day or two) to argue the opposite is true. Key points covered in the video: Trump's approval rating sitting at around 50% (e.g., 50-49 in Insider Advantage and Harvard Harris polls among likely voters), roughly matching his 2024 election performance levels.

I was so surprised by this poll that I had to look into the pollster who put it out just to be certain that it wasn't some fly-by-night propaganda outlet. It isn't. Several sites rate Cygnal Polling as having a slight liberal bias in their results, but as a high-factuality pollster that focuses mostly on private clients. And the results are so lopsided that they would have had to stack the deck by a huge margin to get the results that they did. And the results are BRUTAL for Democrats, although they also tell us something about the Democrat strategy...

President Donald Trump is starting 2026 with a shift in an unlikely corner of the electorate: Americans living in the nation's largest cities. A new Fox News poll—conducted January 23-26 under the joint direction of Democratic pollster Beacon Research and Republican pollster Shaw & Company Research among 1,005 registered voters nationwide—found the president's job approval rising modestly among urban residents, a group that has been one of his weakest since he returned to office.
