This is not another piece talking about the GOP challenges among women voters. Nor is this another piece analyzing the data about the gender gap. Those are important to do, but this does not attempt to do that. These blog posts do a great job of that. https://pos.org/2014/06/winning-women-what-republicans-can-do-in-2014/ https://pos.org/2014/06/winning-women-what-republicans-can-do-in-2014-2/ https://pos.org/2014/06/winning-women-what-republicans-can-do-in-2014-3/ Instead, this asks the question […]
Bill McInturff was quoted in a Wall Street Journal piece regarding a recent POS poll outlining the President’s ever increasing disapproval ratings.

The roll call of government incompetence rolls on: The Obamacare roll-out blunders. The Veterans Administration ignoring veterans then covering it up. The IRS targeting the Obama enemies list.

Although I have an appreciation for the sport, I’m not what you would call a “soccer fan.” Perhaps it was my poor eye-foot coordination or frequent time on the bench that turned me off as a kid, I can’t be sure. However, every four years I find an excuse to become a fair-weather fan and […]
NBC News quotes a poll by Public Opinion Strategies and Hart Research Associates that shows that there are more Americans who disapprove of Edward Snowden’s actions than those who support them.
