The American public overwhelmingly wants funding for police to be increased or maintained, according to a new poll that shows people having strong support for first responders.
A new Gallup Poll Released Monday Shows President Trump’s Job Approval at 38% as The Country Grapples With Multiple Crises And As Republicans And Democrats Remain Divided On The President's Job Performance. The Survey Shows 91% Of Republicans Have A Favorable View Of Trump, Compared To only 2% Of Democrats Viewing Trump Favorably — the Largest Partisan Gap Gallup Has Ever Recorded.
Most Americans remain reluctant to fly and broadly support new coronavirus-related safety measures for air travel, according to the latest IBD TIPP Poll, but only a third believe the government should mandate policies despite federal bailouts for the industry.
Americans have grown more pessimistic about the U.S. economy's recovery from the coronavirus lockdown, as Covid-19 cases surged anew, the July IBD/TIPP Poll shows. The six-month economic outlook index relapsed, falling through April's Covid-19 floor to the lowest level since September 2015.
LOS ANGELES -- July 7, 2020 -- The IBD/TIPP Economic Optimism Index, a leading national poll on consumer confidence, fell by 6.4% in July. The index’s reading of 44.0 has dropped nearly 10 points, or 18.37%, in the last four months. It is now at its lowest point since September 2015. This also places the index in negative territory for the fourth consecutive month. For the IBD/TIPP indexes, a reading below 50.0 indicates pessimism.
TOPLINE
Recent polls show President Trump’s edge over former Vice President Joe Biden on the economy, a critical metric for Republican candidates, has diminished precipitously in recent months as the coronavirus pandemic has tipped the U.S. economy into recession.
Vice President Joe Biden has extended his lead over President Donald Trump to eight points among registered voters, the July IBD/TIPP Poll finds. Trump's reelection campaign is ailing as Americans widely disapprove of his handling of the coronavirus crisis, protests over George Floyd's killing and his overall job performance.
Clear-eyed political observers understand there is more than meets the eye with almost any poll. Everyone wants to trumpet the one topline—“Biden beating Trump by 10!”—without really digging in to see what else a poll is saying. With last week’s American Greatness/TIPP Florida poll, however, there are some important and interesting data points that deserve closer examination.
The announcement that the Republican National Convention was coming to Florida in August was supposed to be a slam dunk win for Gov. Ron DeSantis and the state GOP.
WASHINGTON—To many Americans, President Trump’s election was a surprise, because polls in battleground states had shown him trailing. Now, many state polls show Mr. Trump lagging behind once again, raising the question of whether, this time, the polls are more accurate.
RUSH: Look at this: “U.S. New Home Sales Rise Surprisingly Strong, 16.6% in May.” Now, I thought I saw a story that said just the exact opposite of this. We can’t have the June numbers yet because we’re still in June. So maybe not. “Sales of new homes rose surprisingly strong, 16.6% in May, with the reopening of major parts of the country, potentially fueling activity in the housing market.”
In a poll conducted by American Greatness and TIPP, voters in Florida and Michigan were asked which presidential candidates they preferred based on various issues or criteria.
A couple of weeks before the 2016 presidential election, I wrote a column on a guy from Bergen County who has a well-deserved reputation as the most accurate predictor of presidential elections in this century.
If you're keeping score at home, the tally is Raghavan Mayur 2, Karl Rove zero.
A lot of people are walking into Raghavan Mayur’s office in Ramsey these days to ask how he conducts polls.
In the cornucopia of pro-Clinton polling that preceded the 2016 presidential election, two polls stood out as outliers: the USC/LA Times tracking poll and the Investor's Business Daily/TIPP tracking poll.
All night long, we heard the news networks talk about how "all" the polls and pundits were wrong. They were saying that Clinton is underperforming expectations, and voters were coming out for Trump in numbers no one had expected.
With the 2016 election nearly upon us, the political world is once again awash with presidential polls. Many of them show very different things, with some showing Hillary Clinton ahead and others Donald Trump. They can't all be right. How can you tell which polls to trust?
Long before blogger Nate Silver shot to fame for his 2012 election predictions, there was Raghavan Mayur.
The venerated Gallup Poll took a beating this year for being such an outlier in its predictions of who would win the presidency, and the New York Times's Nate Silver has now served up further evidence that the firm has lost its mojo. Silver analyzed the results obtained by about two dozen top polling firms that ran multiple surveys in the last three weeks of the campaign and then ranked the pollsters based on their accuracy: Gallup came in dead last, with an average error of 7.2 points compared to the actual results.
