Picture this same politician constantly clashing with the media and with the political party in charge. Published October 12, 2023

The ultimate American poll, what does the U.S. really think?

As the 2024 Presidential race kicks into gear, so does polling season. It seems every organization has its own pollster and its own statistics. Major newspapers, broadcast networks, and even social media influencers must find that poll numbers get attention because all seem to use them.

The Republican pro-life charade

For nearly 50 years, Roe v Wade was the law of the land, ensuring abortion was legal, accessible and common in the United States.

Stop the nonsense: Impeachment as a political tool

On December 18, 2019, Donald J. Trump, the 45th President of the United States, was impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives. The impeachment was literally based on a third-hand conversation between an intelligence officer working in the White House as an Obama holdover and two men who, shortly after telling their story to the intel officer, took jobs with Adam Schiff, one of the Democrats' chief prosecutors in the impeachment hearings.

Don’t underestimate Senator Tim Scott’s chances at becoming the GOP’s 2024 nominee

Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina is running for President of the United States. He is competing with several others for the nomination of the Republican Party. Many in the mainstream media appear to believe it is a forgone conclusion that Donald J. Trump will be the GOP nominee and thus, give little attention to other candidates.

Why Bud Light’s transgender ad may have been a good thing

I had an oddly strong interest in politics at a young age. As an eight-year-old, I would argue with my sister on Sunday morning before church because I wanted to watch Face the Nation, inhibiting her ability to see reruns of I Love Lucy. Published April 20, 2023

Donald Trump is slowly and painfully killing the GOP

Does America actually want socialism?

In the last couple of Presidential elections, many of the pollsters were embarrassingly off the mark in their read of the American public. One pollster, however, has put together an amazing run. After proving to be America's most accurate national poll in the 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016 presidential elections, IBD/TIPP did it again in 2020. IBD/TIPP has now been the most accurate in each of the last five presidential election cycles. Published January 20, 2023
