Pew Tries To Hide Americans’ Hesitancy About Unlimited Abortion– thefederalist.com

pgnewser March 16, 2026

Abortion polling is notoriously deceptive and known to strategically skew and misrepresent public opinion to favor abortion activists’ radical agendas. Pew Research Center’s latest survey appears to be no different.

In its 2026 American Trends Panel analysis, Pew uses its January 2026 survey of more than 8,500 U.S. adults to assert that a majority of Americans, 60 percent, “continue to say abortion should be legal in all or most cases.”

Pew suggests that number means states’ attempts to use the post-Dobbs v. Jackson era to outlaw or limit abortion are unpopular and out of touch. The research center’s write-up of its newly retrieved data even notes, in bold, that “In recent years, the public has become more likely to say obtaining an abortion in their area would be difficult.”

Americans Who Say Economy, Politics Rigged Against Them Even Higher Than Right After Great Recession, Poll Shows– dailycaller.com

Most Americans think the country’s economic and political systems are rigged against them — at levels greater than in several decades, according to an NBC News poll released Thursday.

The new survey found that almost 6 in 10 voters presently feel the economic and political systems are weighted against people such as themselves, which ties a record high share over about 40 years of national polling from NBC News. Of those surveyed, 59% agreed with the statement that both systems are stacked against them, while 38% disagreed and 3% were unsure.

New Fox News Poll Shows Socialism Is Surging – RedState– redstate.com

pgnewser March 11, 2026

For more than 15 years, Fox News has periodically asked registered voters: “Do you think it would be a good thing or a bad thing for the United States to move away from capitalism and more toward socialism?”

In January 2009, when the U.S. economy was mired in the Great Recession, 23 percent of respondents said they believed that would be a “good thing” versus 65 percent who said that would be a “bad thing.”

By July 2010, the portion of registered voters who considered a transition from capitalism to socialism a “good thing” reached an all-time low of 18 percent, while those who considered more socialism a “bad thing” reached an all-time high of 69 percent.

Today, 38 percent of Americans, more than double the number in 2010, think it would be a “good thing” for the United States to move away from capitalism and more toward socialism.

… One in three people now believe the world will end within their lifetime, according to new research. The study shows apocalyptic beliefs are no longer confined to the fringes of society – and they’re shaping how people respond to global threats, say scientists.

Study lead author said Dr Matthew Billet said: “Belief in the end of the world is surprisingly common.” He added: “It’s significantly influencing how people interpret and respond to the most pressing threats facing humanity.”

The research team surveyed more than 3,400 people in the United States and Canada. In the American sample of 1,409 respondents, nearly a third said they believe the world will end within their lifetime.

Support For GOP Surges Eight Points Over One Month In Generic Ballot Poll– trendingpoliticsnews.com

pgnewser March 5, 2026

Voters are giving President Donald Trump a modest boost on the economy — and Republicans a messaging edge heading into the midterms.

The latest Harvard CAPS / Harris poll shows the GOP has surged 8 points on the generic congressional ballot since January, pulling even at 50-50 after trailing at the start of the year. Among likely voters, Republicans now hold a 4-point edge.

That momentum comes as the February survey found 52% of voters say the economy is better today than it was under President Joe Biden, up 5 points from January. A narrow majority, 51%, now describe the U.S. economy as strong, a 2-point bump from last month and an 8-point jump since November.

President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address drew strong support from viewers Tuesday night, according to a CNN poll conducted by SSRS, reinforcing that his message on border security and economic reform continues to resonate with his base.

Nearly two-thirds of those who watched said they had at least a somewhat positive reaction to the speech, with 38% describing their response as very positive. While media outlets were quick to note the audience skewed Republican, that has long been the case for State of the Union viewers, who typically tune in because they are engaged and invested.

More importantly, Trump appears to have strengthened confidence among those watching.

Poll Finds Majority Of Voters Concerned About Noncitizens Voting– thefederalist.com

pgnewser February 18, 2026

As Democrats wage war on election integrity, a new poll shows a majority of Americans believe noncitizens on their states voter rolls are a problem.

Last week, the Republican-controlled House passed the SAVE (The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility) America Act on a mostly party-line vote. Texas’ politically vulnerable Rep. Henry Cuellar was the lone Democrat voting for the measure.

“I support the SAVE America Act because I believe in the fundamental principle: American citizens should decide American elections,” Cuellar wrote on X. He’s not alone. The vast majority of Americans support the two pillars of the bill: Documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote and voter ID to cast a ballot in federal elections.

Election integrity stands out as a clear winner for Trump one year into his second term. Nearly three-quarters of voters back a nationwide requirement for government-issued photo ID, according to a Quantus Insights national survey of 1,000 registered voters conducted Jan. 20–22, 2026. Support spans Republicans, independents, and a substantial share of Democrats, making it one of the most broadly supported policies measured in the poll.

Heading into the midterm election season, the economy is still the No. 1 issue for voters, including among President Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again coalition, a new poll shows.

The poll from NBC News Decision Desk showed that Republicans and MAGA Republicans are slightly shifting their outlook on the economy, becoming more likely to say their personal financial situation is worse off today than it was one year ago. The poll found that 64% of people think the economy is on the “wrong track,” compared to 60% at the beginning of the year.

Out of nine given categories, 27% of the 20,252 people polled between Nov. 20 and Dec. 8 listed the economy as the No. 1 issue that matters most to them, with 44% of survey respondents listing “inflation and the rising cost of living” as the most important economic matter to their family.

The RCP average is now flashing “red”, with President Trump at 42.3% approval, versus 54.7% disapproval. Trump has been at the dangerous 43% approval number since November 3 (which is unfortunate, since that is also my birthday ☹). This is Bush territory, and as such, it could lead to a “blue wave” if it is left unchecked.

As Religion Weakens, Socialism Strengthens– www.newsbusters.org

Charlie Kirk’s killing last month has sparked fears that the United States is headed to an all-out second civil war or revolution. According to a YouGov survey earlier this year, “more Americans than not believe it is likely that the United States will see a civil war over the next decade” while several hundred political scientists and historians in an April 2025 survey saw the U.S. slipping into authoritarianism with Trump’s second term. Trump’s deployment of the military at home, combined with his vow to suppress “the enemy within” while his domestic advisor, Stephen Miller labels the Democratic Party a domestic extremist organization, can easily be seen as setting the stage for an authoritarian takeover.

Poll: Capitalism is out … and socialism is in– www.politico.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

The socialist brand is on the rise, according to recent polling, fueling the left flank of the Democratic Party to argue its ideology is becoming more mainstream.

Shortly after Gallup released data showing Democrats and independents are cooling toward capitalism, a progressive organization is out with a poll finding that more than half of likely Democratic voters prefer socialist-aligned figures like Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Zohran Mamdani to establishment politicians like Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jefrries and Nancy Pelosi.

Democratic voters also view elected officials who describe themselves as democratic socialists about as positively as those who identify as Democrats, and they prefer democratic socialism to capitalism when written definitions of each are read aloud to them, according to the poll conducted by Data for Progress and shared first with POLITICO.

“What the mainstream of the party wants is both democratic socialism as a value system and democratic socialist politicians,” said Gabe Tobias, executive director of the Democratic Socialists of America Fund, a political nonprofit organization that funded the survey with the magazine Jacobin and the Berlin-based democratic socialist group Rosa Luxemburg Foundation.

Though Democratic voters are warming to socialism, the ideology is toxic to most Republicans and many independents, making it difficult for socialists to win in battlegrounds. Even within the Democratic Party, some voters are skeptical about the electability of democratic socialists in swing areas, a reality Sanders faced during his two unsuccessful presidential runs.

He suggested that it’s the issues the Democratic base is choosing that are driving away its core. For example, the base is angered at Trump’s efforts to boost safety in cities by deploying the National Guard, but others aren’t worked up about it.

Of course, the top-line narrative is that young men are becoming more conservative and turning to faith, while young women are growing more secular and liberal.

It’s a generalization to be sure, but it stems from what our culture has done to boys and girls. Society teaches our girls to be “grrrrrrl bosses” and be powerful, but it erases boys, medicating them to oblivion if they exhibit any sign of boyishness and teaching them that they’re less than valuable.

35 percent of Democrats used negative terms to describe their party with words like “weak,” “tepid,” “apathetic,” “ineffective,” and “broken.”

A significant portion of Democrats have been dissatisfied with their political party, according to a new Associated Press-NORC poll.

The recent poll highlights growing dissatisfaction among Democrats with their own party following a major electoral defeat last November, which saw Donald Trump return to the presidency and Republicans take control of the White House, Senate, and the House of Representatives. The Democratic Party has since faced internal division over its direction, ideological divisions, as well as leadership.

The poll, conducted between July 10 and 14 among 1,437 adults, revealed that 35 percent of Democrats used negative terms to describe their party with words like “weak,” “tepid,” “apathetic,” “ineffective,” and “broken.” In contrast, only 23 percent offered positive descriptors. Among Republicans, 41 percent used positive language to describe their own party, while 19 percent were critical.

Excerpt:

Many Democrats see their political party as “weak” or “ineffective,” according to a poll that finds considerable pessimism within Democratic ranks. Republicans are more complimentary of their party, although a small but significant share describe the GOP as “greedy” or say it is generally “bad.”

The poll conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research in July reveals warning signs for both major U.S. parties as the political focus shifts to elections in New Jersey and Virginia this fall and the midterm contests next year.

Respondents were asked to share the first word or phrase that came to mind when they thought of the Republican and Democratic parties. Answers were then sorted into broad categories, including negative and positive attributes. Overall, U.S. adults held a dim view of both parties, with about 4 in 10 using negative attributes, including words such as “dishonest” or “stupid.”

But nearly nine months after Republican Donald Trump won a second presidential term, Democrats appear to be harboring more resentment about the state of their party than do Republicans. Democrats were likelier to describe their own party negatively than Republicans. Republicans were about twice as likely to describe their own party positively.

To the great disappointment of Trump haters, many Europeans, and too many others of that ilk not worth contaminating this site by mentioning their names, the nonpartisan and factual Conference Board calmly announced early this morning: US Consumer Confidence Inched Up in July

The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index® improved by 2.0 points in July to 97.2 (1985=100), from 95.2 in June (revised up by 2.2 points). The Present Situation Index — based on consumers’ assessment of current business and labor market conditions — fell 1.5 points to 131.5. The Expectations Index — based on consumers’ short-term outlook for income, business, and labor market conditions — rose 4.5 points to 74.4. But expectations remained below the threshold of 80 that typically signals a recession ahead for the sixth consecutive month. The cutoff date for preliminary results was July 20, 2025.

“Consumer confidence has stabilized since May, rebounding from April’s plunge, but remains below last year’s heady levels,” said Stephanie Guichard, Senior Economist, Global Indicators at the Conference Board. “In July, pessimism about the future receded somewhat, leading to a slight improvement in overall confidence. All three components of the Expectation Index improved, with consumers feeling less pessimistic about future business conditions and employment, and more optimistic about future income.”
