Next week, Donald Trump releases his new budget. It's expected to cut spending on things like the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
The 50-50 nation marches on. Republicans and Trump supporters in general strongly suspect that the Obama administration was wiretapping the Trump campaign last year; Democrats and Trump opponents strongly disagree. While the director of the FBI has reportedly disputed President Trump’s wiretapping claim, a lot of voters are wondering about the FBI’s impartiality.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 44% of all Likely U.S. Voters consider it likely the Obama administration tapped telephones in Trump Tower during last year’s presidential campaign, with 26% who say it’s Very Likely. Fifty-three percent (53%) view that claim as unlikely, including 40% who say it’s Not At All Likely. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Once again bypassing the hopelessly jaundiced media, President Trump announced that he just learned that his predecessor in the White House bugged Trump Tower during the last election.
“This is McCarthyism!” he declared, in 140 characters or less.
Voters have long been fans of smaller government and less spending. But Republicans continue to be defensive about cuts in military funding, while Democrats remain loyal to entitlements.
Last month, there was a national "Day Without a Latino." This week, the demonstration du jour shutting down schools and shops is a "A Day Without a Woman." Here's my question for all the virtue-signaling protesters who pay lip service to better jobs and wages:
To help offset his plans for expanding the military budget, President Trump is proposing major cuts at the Environmental Protection Agency. As with nearly all of his proposals, Republicans are strongly in favor, while Democrats are just as strongly opposed.
At Mar-a-Lago this weekend President Donald Trump was filled "with fury" says The Washington Post, "mad -- steaming, raging, mad."
Rumors have been circulating for weeks that Hillary Clinton is eyeing a New York City mayoral run, and the recent appearance of “Hillary for Mayor” signs around the city has added fuel to the fire.
But 58% of Likely U.S. Voters don’t want to see the failed 2016 Democratic presidential candidate run for mayor of New York City. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that just 23% think Clinton should seek the mayoralty, while 19% are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Forty-five percent (45%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey for the week ending March 2.
Voters agree with President Trump’s emphasis on new jobs in his speech last week to Congress, and most expect him to achieve at least some of the ambitious agenda he laid out.
Most voters continue to expect significant government spending cuts over the next few years and agree that any new spending must be offset by budget cuts elsewhere.
President Trump’s job approval ratings were edging up at week’s end following his generally well-received speech Tuesday night to Congress.
President Trump laid out his agenda in a generally well-received speech Tuesday night to Congress, but most voters don’t want Congress to rush to pass what the president has proposed.
The afternoon before President Donald Trump's Tuesday night speech to Congress, Twitter watchers were treated to a flurry of tweets, inspired by comments at the traditional lunch with network anchors, that the president was going to endorse something very much like the "comprehensive" immigration bills that foundered in Congress in 2006, 2007 and 2013.
Before the largest audience of his political career, save perhaps his inaugural, Donald Trump delivered the speech of his life.
It’s not like they leave much room for doubt about how much contempt they hold for military service and the immeasurable sacrifice that comes with it.
Republican Senator John McCain has been one of President Trump’s most vocal critics, but the majority of GOP voters aren’t listening. Most Democrats, on the other hand, like what McCain has to say.
Despite Puerto Rico’s ongoing fiscal issues, a sizable number of Americans support making the longtime U.S. commonwealth an official state. There remains far less support for granting statehood to Washington, D.C.
President Trump’s plan for a big increase in defense spending is sweet music to the ears of his fellow Republicans but a sour note for Democrats.
The mark of great presidents is optimism -- visionary optimism and transformational optimism. During Tuesday night's remarkable speech before Congress, President Donald Trump was brimming with optimism from start to end. My guess is that his marvelous speech will imbue and inspire new optimism and confidence throughout the entire country.
