A new poll suggests an overwhelming majority of unvaccinated Americans who voted for former President Donald Trump will never get the COVID-19 jab despite the ex-president's urging. **SNIP** A poll released this week by The Economist/YouGov suggests that Trump's apparent efforts to change the minds of his unvaccinated followers could be a tall order, given that 75 percent of those who remain unvaccinated and voted for him in 2020 said that they did "not plan on ever getting ANY shots of ANY COVID-19 vaccine." Another 12 percent said that they "might" get a shot in the future, while only 3...

An interesting thing happened yesterday! A manager at work was talking about the deteriorating political situation and to paraphrase, said the following: He tends to lean toward the liberal side (his lifestyle would truly indicate this, but no further comment), but he simply can not support some of the policies and spending they are trying to force down people's throats. He stated very plainly he can NOT support them because of the things they are advocating. I was in shock. I have NEVER heard a Democrat talk like that. The Democrats have to already know this in regard to their...

"If you’ve been following this issue then you know that President Trump’s inroads with Hispanic voters in 2020 was cause for serious concern among Democrats despite the fact that they eventually gained control of the White House and the Senate. That same worry cropped up again after the Republican sweep in the Virginia elections. There were conflicting reports over what happened in VA, with an AP/Fox News poll claiming Youngkin won the Hispanic vote while an alternate poll by Edison Research claimed McAuliffe won the Hispanic vote by 2:1. (Hispanics are a small percentage of the electorate in Virginia making...

A majority of voters in Utah believe that former President Trump should not run again, according to a new poll released on Wednesday. A poll conducted by OH Predictive Insights indicated that 54 percent of registered voters in Utah believe that Trump should not run again in 2024 compared to 35 percent of those who believe he should. While the research firm indicated that the numbers differed along partisan lines, the percentage of Republican voters who said they would like Trump to run again was 53 percent, and OH Predictive Insights said was mostly driven by Republicans in the 18-year-old...

President Biden’s approval is tanking among black voters, an Emerson College survey released this week found. The survey showed Biden’s overall disapproval increasing yet again in the last two months, going from 47 percent in September to 50 percent in November. Overall, that is an 11-point increase in overall disapproval since February. Meanwhile, in that same timeframe, his approval has dropped from 49 percent to 41 percent from February to November.

The primary reason the United States finds itself in its current predicament is the vast number of credulous and mis-educated Americans who, over the past two decades, have blindly pledged their undying allegiance to the current iteration of Democrat party. They do so because they have been willingly duped into believing that the political opposition, conservatives and Republicans, are the personification of evil who are hellbent on transforming the nation into a dystopian nightmare. The philosophical underpinnings of the Democrat party or the falsehoods its elected members regurgitate are immaterial to their voters, as long as this dire threat, as...

The voters of Maine passed the "right to food" state constitutional amendment on Tuesday, the first amendment of its kind in the U.S. The Associated Press reported that the amendment to Maine's constitution would “declare that all individuals have a natural, inherent and unalienable right to grow, raise, harvest, produce and consume the food of their own choosing for their own nourishment, sustenance, bodily health, and well-being.” The vote on the "right to food" amendment was passed with large support in Maine's state legislature, but needed to be placed on the ballot following approval from lawmakers.

As Virginians headed to vote on Election Day, reports began to surface Tuesday morning that some were being told a mask must be worn in order to enter a polling location and cast a ballot.. Townhall independently verified that a handful of Virginians who cast ballots in-person this morning were told masks were required to vote as well. As claims of similar incidents continued to surface, the Republican Party of Virginia tweeted that "if someone is not wearing a face covering they may NOT be turned away or refused their right to vote." In addition, the NAACP Legal Defense Fund...

In an undercover video made by an investigative reporter for Project Veritas, Democrat strategist and activist Wendy Martinez admitted that "Gov. Phil Murphy does intend to issue a vaccination mandate, but not until after he is reelected. Right now, too many voters are all into the 'my body, my rights' shit. If they knew that Phil intended to order everyone to take the jab they'd probably vote him out of office." Matthew Urquijo, manager of New Jersey Forward, a coalition of powerful public and private sector interests supportive of Murphy's governing agenda, echoed Martinez's fears, saying that "our polls show...

A shocking new poll from the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia reveals that over half of Trump voters surveyed, and 41% of Biden voters, are in favor of blue and/or red states seceding from the union. Yeah, it’s gotten that bad.The idea that the nation’s political divide has become so toxic that we should prepare from some sort of “national divorce” has largely been left to clever thought experiments best left for dinner parties and ironically detached columns. However, we’ve now arrived at a point where more than half of Trump voters “somewhat agree” that the time...

Then-Attorney General William Barr reportedly told then-President Trump that suburban voters “think you are a f---ing asshole” and urged the president to change his image in order to win reelection, Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward said in an interview on Wednesday, detailing an episode from his new book, “Peril.” “He wanted Trump to win in 2020, last year, but he gave him some very candid advice. And Barr said in an extraordinary meeting with Trump last year — President Trump — Barr said, ‘I travel around the country as much as any Cabinet officer, and you have support there. I...

More Texas voters believe Gov. Greg Abbott (R) does not deserve to be reelected, according to a poll released on Tuesday. The survey conducted by Quinnipiac University found that 51 percent of registered voters in Texas believe Abbott does not deserve to be reelected, compared with 42 percent who said the governor deserves a third term. The opposition to Abbott’s reelection was up from June, when a separate Quinnipiac poll found that 46 percent of Texas voters supported Abbott’s 2022 reelection bid, compared with 48 percent who did not.

For all of you who, like me, might have been briefly fooled into thinking that Joe Biden was starting to take illegal immigration a bit more seriously during the showdown at Del Rio, this week brings us yet another indication that nothing has changed. The Free Beacon reports that Immigration and Customs Enforcement has just announced the hiring of a new Principal Legal Adviser. The PLA oversees more than two dozen field locations and more than 1,200 attorneys. They are also the agency’s chief representative in all litigation and removal proceedings for illegal aliens. It’s a very important role. So...

Biden voters are not happy with the guy they voted! 11 minute video of Twitter posts by people who say they regret voting for Biden.

Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke’s (D-Texas) voter mobilization organization launched a new voter registration tool on Thursday, days after the Texas legislature approved a controversial elections overhaul bill that many say will restrict access to the ballot box. The group, Powered by People, launched the “Drive-to-You” program, an on-demand voter registration service that will allow eligible Texas voters to register to vote from their homes. According to a press release from the organization, any Texas voter in an eligible county will be able to call a phone number and deploy a team of Volunteer Deputy Registrars to their home, workplace or...

A majority of voters believe President Biden should resign over his administration’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, a Rasmussen Reports survey released Wednesday found. The survey asked respondents, “Should President Joe Biden resign because of the way the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan was handled?” Overall, a majority, or 52 percent, said “yes,” Biden should resign, while 39 percent said he should not. Opinions over Biden resigning are sharply divided along party lines, as three-quarters of Republicans say he should — a sentiment held by nearly one-third of Democrats, 32 percent, and a plurality of independents, 48 percent

Responding to the deaths of 13 service members and the wounding of 18 others in Afghanistan, President Biden stated the obvious: “Been a tough day.” Eight months into his presidency, these are tough days. Our withdrawal from Afghanistan is “messy,” as Biden has ruefully acknowledged. COVID-19 is filling up hospital beds and intensive care units. The Supreme Court has reversed Biden executive orders on immigration and rent relief. Biden’s honeymoon, such as it was, is over. Low polling numbers often show how many people stick with you through good times and bad. Back in 1992, Bill Clinton was beset by...

Fifty-one percent of voters believe His Fraudulency Joe Biden will not finish his first term in office. Rasmussen Reports asked 1,000 likely voters, “How likely is it that [His Fraudulency] Joe Biden will leave office and be replaced by Kamala Harris before the 2024 election?” Fifty-one percent said it was ‘very” (29 percent) or “somewhat” (22 percent) likely. Only 14 percent said it was “not very” (22 percent) or “not at all” (15 percent) likely.

Poll documents stunning collapse of support for Biden Buyer regrets aren't uncommon. Impulse buying is a routine factor in the American economy, as catchy ad slogans or impressive display images can impress. But it's relatively simple to return or donate that unflattering article of clothing, that now-unwanted furniture.
