Amy Holmes recently joined the Rasmussen Reports team as our broadcast political analyst. Since more and more of you are seeing Amy on-air these days talking about our survey results, we thought it was a good time for you to get to know her a little better. So we’ve asked Amy a few questions about herself.
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have both proposed taxpayer-paid maternity leave for women whose employers don’t pay them for their time off, and most voters like the idea.
And then, everything changed.
Well, not everything, but enough to generate the first major revision in our electoral map, and all of it is in Donald Trump’s direction for now.
Citing financial losses, several major health insurers have announced plans to back out of the state exchanges set up under President Obama’s national health care law, leaving many Americans with fewer insurance options and higher rates. More than ever say they or an immediate family member has gotten coverage through the exchanges, but voters don’t think taxpayers should help offset any jump in rates they may experience because of the exit of these companies.
Why do we vote the way we do?
Hillary Clinton's strategists have identified Donald Trump's innumerable lies as a major weakness in his campaign for president. They're smart. Trump does lie a lot. He often gets caught lying. Voters want their next president to be trustworthy.
With less than two months remaining until the 2016 elections, it sounds like most voters won’t be listening to their heart when casting their ballot.
The thought came to me as I watched the Cleveland police clear away protesters from the city's Public Square. Half a dozen on horseback, nearly a dozen or so on heavy-duty bikes, the cops deftly corralled the protesters without so much as touching anyone, much as a border collie channels a flock of uncomprehending sheep.
Since Donald Trump said that if Vladimir Putin praises him, he would return the compliment, Republican outrage has not abated.
Suppose the unthinkable took place, and Hillary Clinton was forced for health reasons to step down as the Democratic presidential nominee. Who do Democrats think should take her place?
Concern about North Korea is on the rise following the communist regime's latest nuclear tests.
The Obama administration has expressed alarm about dangers to our election system from foreign hackers, and online voting is seen as perhaps the most vulnerable to attack. Most voters still don’t like the idea of voting via the internet and think it’s easier to corrupt than other voting methods.
Every presidential election is different, but nobody’s going to tell us that this one isn’t notably different from any other in the modern period.
Are concerns over Hillary Clinton’s health changing the equation? Donald Trump has once again edged ahead of Clinton after trailing her by four points a week ago.
In hopes of improving student performance, some elementary and secondary schools are adopting a no-homework policy, coupled with extending the school day to allow time to finish all work in class. But most parents aren't sure that's the way to go.
Two-out-of-three Americans view political correctness as a threat and say they don't have freedom of speech anymore.
Let's get down to business. The casting kerfuffle over Disney's live-action remake of the 1998 animated hit "Mulan" brings honor to none. It's a politically correct tempest in a Chinese teapot.
Democrats aren’t worried about Hillary Clinton’s health, but most other voters feel she may not be physically up to the job.
Seth Rogen, co-writer, co-producer and co-star of the animated comedy "Sausage Party," is unhappy with me -- for defending him.
His movie was attacked by some online commentators for using ethnic and sexual stereotypes, as cartoons often do. What was remarkable is how incensed some people get over a cartoon, even one about talking food.
Speaking to 1,000 of the overprivileged at an LGBT fundraiser, where the chairs ponied up $250,000 each and Barbra Streisand sang, Hillary Clinton gave New York's social liberals what they came to hear.
