Dear Democrats: We Need To Talk About Your Mental Health Crisis

August 1, 2024 Aaron Warner

Two recent polls reveal something seriously amiss with our Democrat (re: liberal) neighbors. Studies by Pew Research and the Institute for Family Studies-Gallup report a rise in poor mental health associated with politically liberal households. Pew Research indicates more than one in two (55%) “white women” who identify as liberal in their political ideology suffer … Read more

Polls Of American Voters Shows Major Shift To Independent and Anti-Biden

September 16, 2023 Aaron Warner

Despite massive support from legacy and social media, the political landscape is moving away from Democrats and Joe Biden, according to recent polls conducted by the Wall Street Journal, Gallup, and the Associated Press.

Data Point – When Citizens Believe that GOVERNMENT Is Their Largest Problem…

February 4, 2023 Skip

The thought that immediately came to mind was “When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty.” Yet, here we are where The People are starting to believe that Government is the largest problem in their lives. In a new survey conducted in January, Americans said … Read more

Data Point: I Wonder If WMUR Has the Wherewithal to Understand Why?

July 19, 2022 Skip

Yeah, I know, rhetorical question because up to now, the answer is a big “NO!”. I’m not even sure that they care that they turn off a large percentage of their potential viewers who have watched them go Leftward these past few years. From the Washington Examiner, this pull quote says it all: …Bias in … Read more

As President Trump’s Approval Numbers Continue to Climb…

March 25, 2020 Steve MacDonald

President Trump is enjoying rising approval numbers (he’s more popular than the press too.) Gallup’s latest has him up (in the midst of the media Dempanic) 5 points from earlier in the month to 49%.

Gallup: Trump’s Record on Race Relations is Better Than Obama’s

January 30, 2020 Steve MacDonald

It’s a strange world when the so-called Nazi President Trumphitler is a better friend of Jews and Israel than any President, perhaps ever. Trump is also regarded by the left as a racist who incites racism but Gallup shows race relations under Trump are better than they were under Obama.

Data Point – Who is proud to be an American?

July 4, 2019 Skip

Democrats Continue to Express Low U.S. Pride The latest overall declines in patriotism are largely driven by Democrats, whose self-reported pride has historically been lower and has fluctuated more than Republicans’. Democrats’ latest 22% extreme pride reading is the group’s lowest in Gallup’s 19 years of measurement, and is half of what it was several months before … Read more

“Gallup” Towards Interesting Polls – For Once

January 5, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Gallup has a new fake, pro-Progressive poll out and it is a predictable doozie. A HUGE increase in Americans who want to leave America for good! No, I am not talking about the spoiled Hollywood 1%ers. This a “legit” poll “fairly” balanced and all that scientific stuff, that was created under the same professional pollster-fantasy that … Read more

Data Point – Biggest American problem? Gallup: Government

December 21, 2018 Skip

Nineteen percent of respondents cited “government” as the problem, making it the top issue of concern. In second place came “immigration,” cited by 16% of the respondents. However, when broken down politically, 29% of Republicans said immigration is a problem but only 7% of Democrats said the same…Only 8% of respondents said “unifying the country” … Read more

Democrats More Positive About Socialism Than Capitalism

September 26, 2018August 14, 2018 Steve MacDonald

As some Democrats look for ways to run away from the reality of their political baggage Gallup comes along and shoots them in the kneecaps.

For the first time in Gallup’s measurement over the past decade, Democrats have a more positive image of socialism than they do of capitalism.

The problem? The indoctrination is working. But the professional left isn’t ready to come out of the closet quite yet.

Data Point – Gallup and Americans view of the NRA

September 26, 2018June 30, 2018 Skip

On the political side, 88% of Republicans and 24% of Democrats view the group favorably.”

Even with the full out attacks by anti-gunners and the media, Americans still have a favorable view of the NRA. I’m just surprised that it’s only been a 5% drop. And the grassroots organization, even with the vitriol thrown against them, keeps out-raising its detractors:

The NRA’s Political Victory Fund, the gun-rights group’s PAC, raised $1,164,540.23 in the month of May. That’s nearly $325,000 more than the top three gun-control PACs combined. It is also, however, a retreat of $687,783.05 from the NRA PAC’s April fundraising total.

Gallup Poll: Inaccuracy, Misinformation, and Bias in Media News Coverage

September 26, 2018June 23, 2018 Steve MacDonald

Gallup’s latest opinion poll adds another nail to the Media coffin. A growing majority believe it is biased.

Overall, U.S. adults estimate that 62% of the news they read in newspapers, see on television or hear on the radio is biased. They think the news media mostly provide accurate information, but still estimate that 44% of what they see is inaccurate. And they believe that more than a third of the news they see in these channels is misinformation — false or inaccurate information that is presented as if it were true.

Data Point – it seems that ONLY Obama, Progressives, and the Media thinks that gun control is high priority

September 26, 2018April 18, 2013 Skip

American people? Only 4% believe it is a high priority – so when Obama says that the Senate has betrayed the American people, tell him “er, not so much”. (H/T: Gallup)

Joe Biden: “If it only saves one life!” A gun saves yet another innocent life – a homeowner minding his own business

September 26, 2018January 16, 2013 Skip

Of course, I do not classify one of the perps as ‘innocent, in the process of turning their life around”. On the eve of President Obama’s pronouncement of how he is going to further restrict Citizens from their Second Amendment Rights (after all, guns can never be used to defend innocent, law-abiding Americans), comes this story of yet another incident where an innocent law-abiding citizen was able to “equalize” himself against a greater force of Strong Man Rule types (reformatted and emphasis mine):

Miami-Dade Police are investigating after a home invasion ended in one of the suspects being shot and killed late Monday night. The incident happened around 11 p.m. at a gated community in the 800 block of Northeast 209th Terrace, Miami-Dade Police spokesman Det. Alvaro Zabaleta said.

As has been said in the past (paraphrased): gated communities are where the money is.

Zabaleta said police received a 911 call of a home invasion in progress involving two suspects. Shots were fired and one of the suspects, identified only as a 22-year-old black male, was killed at the scene. The second suspect fled in an unknown direction and it’s unknown whether he is also injured, Zabaleta said.

Two against one – imagine if he didn’t have a way to defend himself as they entered the home without invitation (after all, that’s kinda what “invasion” means, right?)?

The homeowner, identified as a 19-year-old black male, wasn’t injured. Police didn’t say who opened fire and no other information was immediately available.

Nearby residents said they heard several gunshots coming from the apartment. “My wife heard five or six shots,” neighbor Jerome Irving said.

Police are still investigating the incident.

So, where DOES gun control really fall on the radar screen of Americans bucket list? Gallup has a poll result – and it doesn’t seem to match the politician bluster:
