And yet, according to a newly released poll, the siren song of socialism is more attractive than capitalism to one segment of the American people – Democrats. The survey, conducted online by YouGov among 1,000 adults, is stunning for the difference in the ratings between […]
Autumn is my favorite season. Crisp, sunny afternoons spent hiking through golden aspen in my home state of Colorado; the collective watching of college football or baseball playoffs; and breaking out those comfy sweaters for the first time in months. What’s not to love about a glorious season of color, before snow and darkness invade? […]
By a 43{09f965da52dc6ab4c1643a77bd40d1f729d807040cd8db540234bb981a782222}-34{09f965da52dc6ab4c1643a77bd40d1f729d807040cd8db540234bb981a782222} margin, a plurality of college football fans believe the national media, including ESPN, shows a bias toward the SEC in their college football reporting. In fact, only those fans who live in SEC states believe the national media covers the Power Five fairly – and still nearly 40{09f965da52dc6ab4c1643a77bd40d1f729d807040cd8db540234bb981a782222} of those fans believe there’s an SEC […]

As a national conversation heats up about electing a hypothetical Muslim president, it’s worth noting being a Socialist, like Bernie Sanders is, is a deal-breaker for more Americans. A June Gallup survey found 60{09f965da52dc6ab4c1643a77bd40d1f729d807040cd8db540234bb981a782222} of Americans would vote for a “generally well-qualified” Muslim candidate for president if one were nominated by their party and 38{09f965da52dc6ab4c1643a77bd40d1f729d807040cd8db540234bb981a782222} […]
In times of political turmoil, it’s always good to be able to reach back to the 1960s for some Buffalo Springfield lyrics, and this is political turmoil. Both parties are seeing the conventional wisdom of their nomination fight (Republicans) and nomination coronation (Democrats) turned upside down, not so much by a pair of outside-the-box candidates, […]
Hillary Clinton’s wild ride continues. She finds herself now in the big, upside-down loop that marks the scariest and most dramatic spot on any roller coaster. The latest NBC/Wall Street Journal survey marks the worst image rating for Hillary Clinton since her failed last attempt to capture the Democratic nomination. Since her spring announcement and […]
The line from this week’s Univision survey of Hispanic voters was “Hillary Clinton has a sizable advantage” over Republicans vying for the party’s nomination. True.
