Can you provide a CNN link lauding Rasmussen for nailing the spread in the 2016 presidential election? If you can, I might take seriously anything they have to say about Rasmussen now. Did Rasmussen do so well this year? No. Have they done much better in the past? Yes. Will they do better in the future? Undoubtedly. Are they currently the only polling company providing daily measurements of the president's job approval? Yup.

I see, CNN fake news. :roll:

So tired of this idiocy from Trump drones. Ignore the real data in the article and rely on Goebbels big lie. And people criticize me for calling Trump drones stupid.

I agree we should revolt if he is impeached but I give it about a 1% chance of being anymore than a few people with signs.

Revolt against what? The rule of law? The fact that the Senate republicans will have fired their own president? What exactly would you revolt against? The man is an admitted felon.

The swamp that is brainwashing you with such ideas as Trump is the devil. Why do you think Republicans would fire Trump? The answer is obvious if you think about it.

How did I ignore the “real data”? I acknowledged that Rasmussen didn’t do so well with this year’s election, the company’s accuracy has had its ups and downs—not something you’d realize if you only read the MSM(D) sources that are happy to talk about the downs while deep sixing any mention of the ups.

Last time. CNN is not "fake news". Only an idiot would think that.

Only an idiot would accept this republican source of polls. I have pointed out their bias over and over again. They are acknowledged in the industry as biased.

Only an idiot would consider the non-entity they label the MSM to be universally biased.

And that is what we are dealing with here. Trump comes up with a slogan (fake news) and a great many people are simply not smart enough to see it for what it is.

Of course he called the investigation of his lawyer "fake news". What do you know. It wasn't.

Drones.

Here's this weekend's round-up of polls. Anyone that wants to check out any possible links over the next week can go to the link to the left. (Anyone wanting more details on a particular poll, just ask):

    The 115th Congress is winding to a close with Democrats positioning themselves for hyper-partisan challenges to President Trump’s agenda in their new role as the majority party in the House next year. But the final showdown next week will be over approval of a budget with or without a wall.

    President Trump warned that a partial government shutdown is looming just in time for Christmas following a heated meeting with Democratic leaders earlier this week in which the two parties failed to agree on border-wall spending. Voters are getting more enthusiastic about building the wall, but they’re still not willing to risk a shutdown over it.

    A proposal has been made to extend Medicare benefits to Americans of all ages. Voters are on the fence about the idea, but they do believe it would increase health care costs.

    Several prominent Democrats trying to break out of the pack of potential 2020 presidential hopefuls are also proposing new large-scale government spending programs. But voters aren’t big on these income transfer programs, and few think they will reduce the level of poverty.

    President Ronald Reagan said in his first inaugural address in 1981 that “government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem,” and voters still agree.

    Meanwhile, most voters continue to believe the government has too much power over the individual citizen.

    While it may not be apparent in national governance, the Christmas spirit is alive and well.

    Eighty-two percent (82%) of Americans will be celebrating Christmas this holiday season, and they think a little more religion would go a long way.

    Two-thirds American Adults (67%) believe Christmas should be more about Jesus Christ than about Santa Claus.

    Most Americans continue to believe Christmas should be celebrated in public schools, too, and that there’s a place for religious symbols on public land.

    But with beloved holiday songs and shows now coming under fire for supposedly inappropriate messages, many are wondering whether free speech is officially dead.

    In other surveys last week:

    -- Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, one of many Democrats with an eye on their party’s 2020 presidential nomination, tweeted last week that America’s future is female and “intersectional” (focused on overlapping areas of discrimination). But voters insist gender doesn’t drive how they vote.

    -- Uber is restarting its testing of driverless cars, eight months after one of its self-driving vehicles struck and killed a pedestrian, but Americans aren’t any readier to embrace the technology.

    -- Although 2018 isn’t ending with the same fervor of economic confidence that we saw at the beginning of the year, the final numbers are certainly nothing to sneeze at.

    -- Forty-three percent (43%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.

Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope you’re all having as fun (and safe) a Christmas season as I am. Here's this weekend's round-up of polls. Anyone that wants to check out any possible links over the next week can go to the link to the left. (Anyone wanting more details on a particular poll, just ask):

    Four days before Christmas, Congress entered a partial government shutdown over the showdown for border wall funding, while procrastinators scrambled to do last minute holiday shopping.

    Also in the news this week, President Trump announced his decision to pull U.S. troops from Syria and the resignation of Defense Secretary James Mattis, both of which House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi emphatically criticized. But while Pelosi is poised to become the most powerful Democrat in Washington, D.C., voters prefer that Trump lead the way.

    That there is more turnover at the highest levels of the Trump administration, doesn’t surprise voters: They continue to believe Trump is less dependent on his Cabinet than his White House predecessors.

    After Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer declared border wall funding by Congress a dead issue, Brian Kolfage — a U.S. Air Force veteran, Purple Heart recipient and triple amputee — started a GoFundMe page with the goal of raising $1 billion for wall construction, an effort that by midday Friday had raised more than $12 million.

    That might be of little surprise given that one-in-five voters say they are willing to dig into their own pockets to privately fund the barrier on the U.S.-Mexico border. The Senate yesterday was reconsidering the issue after the House late Thursday passed a stop-gap spending bill that included $5.7 billion for border wall funding.)

    Meanwhile, our enemies never sleep.

    Hackers working on behalf of the Chinese government are suspected in a recent cyberattack on the Marriott hotel chain in which the personal information of millions of hotel guests was compromised. Nearly two-out-of-three voters think a cyberattack by another country is an act of war, and most think it poses a greater risk than a traditional military attack.

    But the holiday season is upon us, and most Americans still consider their faith an important part of their lives, even if they don’t attend services regularly.

    Americans don’t plan to be a Scrooge this Christmas, either, and are instead planning to donate to charity in the name of holiday spirit, with 80% of Americans saying they are at least somewhat likely to make a charitable donation of some kind this year, a slight decline in numbers from 2014.

    Many folks will be scrambling over the weekend, because just a week before Christmas, one-in-five Americans had not yet started their holiday shopping.

    This holiday season is one of the busiest times on the roads, but most Americans are staying put this year.

    Though some consider the tradition of sending Christmas cards a relic of the past, nearly half still plan on mailing them out this year.

    In other surveys last week:

    -- A federal judge declared Obamacare’s requirement that every American have health insurance unconstitutional. Most voters continue to oppose the so-called individual mandate as they have for years.

    -- The Oxford English Dictionary named “toxic” as their word of the year for 2018, and while Americans are torn on whether the word should have received the honor, they agree that politicians and the media have contributed to a toxic culture.

    -- Forty-one percent (41%) of voters think the country is heading in the right direction.

On to the New Year! If you're partying in the New Year, drive safe. Here's this weekend's round-up of polls. Anyone that wants to check out any possible links over the next week can go to the link to the left. (Anyone wanting more details on a particular poll, just ask):

    President Trump continues to rattle the political establishment’s cage as his second year in office comes to a close.

    The federal government remains partially shutdown over Democrats’ refusal to fund a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. Voters are evenly divided - along predictable partisan lines - over whether the wall should be built in an effort to stop illegal immigration.

    Thirty-four percent (34%) of Republicans - and 21% of all voters - are willing to contribute to a private fund to build the wall if Congress won’t agree to pay for it.

    But 52% of voters oppose a government shutdown over the wall funding issue.

    Voters worry about the economic impact of a partial shutdown, although only 12% say past shutdowns have had a major impact on their lives.

    Some Republicans have joined the anti-Trump chorus over the president’s decision to withdraw all U.S. troops from Syria. Intent on reducing the U.S. military presence in the Middle East, Trump has angered hawkish members of both major political parties, and voters tend to oppose his decision as well.

    The president said earlier in the year that the “primary mission” in Syria was to get rid of ISIS and that America had “completed that task.” Voters agree the United States is winning the war against ISIS.

    On the heels of Trump’s planned removal of troops from Syria, voters are far less likely to think the United States needs to be more hands-on in the Middle East.

    Eighty-nine percent (89%) rate the performance of the U.S. military as good or excellent. But 46% believe the U.S. military is overstretched these days.

    Fifty-six percent (56%) of voters think the United States and its allies are winning the War on Terror, the highest level of confidence since Osama bin Laden was killed seven years ago.

    The president’s daily job approval rating remains in the upper 40s, but perceptions of how Trump is dealing with the economy and foreign policy have fallen slightly.

    The Trump administration is planning to roll back race-based Obama-era school discipline policies, arguing that they have led to more lax discipline overall and a rise in school violence. Americans overwhelmingly agree that a student’s racial background should not be a factor in discipline.

    Sixty percent (60%) believe discipline in public schools these days is too easy.

    A panel investigating the massacre at a Parkland, Florida high school earlier this year has recommended that certain trained, vetted teachers be allowed to carry firearms in school, a proposal supported by the Trump administration’s Federal Commission on School Safety. Parents of school-age children continue to support the idea of armed teachers in the schools.

    The Florida panel was also harshly critical of the government response at the time to the Parkland mass shooting. Less than two weeks after the killings in February, Americans by a 54% to 33% margin said the failure of government agencies to respond to numerous warning signs from the prospective killer was more to blame than a lack of adequate gun control.

    In other surveys last week:

    — Forty percent (40%) of voters still say the country is headed in the right direction.

    — Americans continue to view Christmas as the most important holiday of the year. Over half said they would attend a religious service this holiday season.

    — Just two days before Christmas, 16% still had not begun their holiday shopping. But then 67% of Americans believe Christmas is more about Jesus Christ than about Santa Claus.

See. Here is why this polling company is simply republican bullshit:

The federal government remains partially shutdown over Democrats’ refusal to fund a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. Voters are evenly divided - along predictable partisan lines - over whether the wall should be built in an effort to stop illegal immigration.


The democrats? The republicans had control of both the house and the senate. They, the republicans, lead by republican Donald Trump, all by themselves, failed to pass spending for the wall. Rasmussen is lying. They know this. They are not objective and I object to this charade every week.

So what is the truth about what the voters think?

Reuters poll: Forty-seven percent of adults hold Trump responsible, while 33 percent blame Democrats in Congress, according to the Dec. 21-25 poll, conducted mostly after the shutdown began. Seven percent of Americans blamed congressional Republicans.

Just 35 percent of those surveyed in the opinion poll said they backed including money for the wall in a congressional spending bill. Only 25 percent said they supported Trump shutting down the government over the matter.


Right. Now that we have that straight. :roll:

Drlee, you might want to take the blinders off and do a little research. From CNBC (a site that should be sufficiently Liberal for you), there's this:

    "Both House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer have flatly said congressional Democrats will not approve wall money. As Republicans need Democratic votes to pass spending legislation in the Senate, a partial shutdown is all but assured if the GOP insists on funding for the barrier."

So what is the truth about what the voters think?

Why would you bother to bring up a poll with a completely different question? And BTW, you obviously didn't bother to check any of the details of the Rasmussen poll, or you would have found this:

    "But voters stop short of saying they want the government to shut down until Congress passes immigration reform. Thirty-nine percent (39%) of voters favor a government shutdown if Congress does not crack down on illegal immigration by enforcing security on the border with Mexico and building a border wall. Fifty-two percent (52%) are opposed, showing little change from August."

And this is not true. If McConnell wanted to use the so-called nuclear option he could pass it tomorrow. It has been done before. All the dems can do is filibuster and he can cut that off with a simple majority.

The deal is sport that he does not have the votes. He has been told by his fellow republicans that they won't vote for it.

So you get your fucking blinders off and study a little civics. Pro Hint. You won't find it on Fox News.

Come the third, the dems will stop the wall. Should they? Hell yes. They will be doing the will of the majority of the American people and not the will of a pussy grabbing child that the people of the great state of Utah helped elect to the presidency. What a concept. The majority of Americans want something and a political party gives it to them. Dangerous precedent.

Fucking drones. Drain the swamp. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Actually, it is a dangerous precedent. Would you want India and China having 3 times the votes of the US in the UN? 90% of the US is conservative. Geography must be considered as well as popular vote. Our constitution does that. It only seems wrong to those that believe the federal government should force everyone to live alike whether they want to or not. Why should people in Los Angeles have any say in how people in Montana want to live? If you want fair government and diversity, then quit demanding everyone be just like you.

Sure, McConnell could use the nuclear option, if he wants to put a stake through the heart of the filibuster and can get 49 other Republican Senators to go along with him. While I wouldn't mind that all that much, I don't see either as terribly likely. So yes, McConnell will need 60 votes. That'll be easier in the new Congress, but still need a minimum of seven Democrats.
