Voters claim the issues count more than a candidate's character, but most think this year's presidential election will be decided by the controversies that have dogged the candidates and not their policy positions. But then most also don't consider their fellow Americans to be informed voters.
Among the many complaints I have seen about this squalid presidential election -- the most dismal choice of major-party nominees since 1856 -- there's one that I find missing: that it shows how our politics have become less republican.
Thirty percent (30%) 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 November 3.
Voters are slightly more convinced that Democrat Hillary Clinton knows more than Republican Donald Trump where she wants to lead the country. But like most issues this political season, it depends on which party’s voters you ask.
The presidential race between Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump has been tight nationally for months, but a majority of voters think Clinton will win the election.
Rasmussen Reports’ final White House Watch survey shows Democrat Hillary Clinton with a two-point lead over Republican Donald Trump with less than 24 hours to go until Election Day. Among early voters, Clinton has a double-digit lead.
Election Day is here at last, so where do we stand?
Hillary Clinton, they say, is the most qualified person ever to have run for the presidency. They are, of course, mistaken. But one week away from an election that, for once, really may prove to be the most important of our lives, what boggles the mind of those of us who are paying attention is just how terrible a candidate Hillary Clinton has proven to be.
A majority of voters still think Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton broke the law when she was secretary of State, but most also still don't believe she'll be punished for it.
If Hillary Clinton is elected president on Tuesday, and if what Bret Baier is reporting from FBI sources on Fox News is true, America is headed for a constitutional crisis.
In my Nov. 1 column, I looked at the presidential election through the lens of the old children's radio show "Let's Pretend" -- examining how things would look if it turned out that Donald Trump ends up winning.
When tracking President Obama’s job approval on a daily basis, people sometimes get so caught up in the day-to-day fluctuations that they miss the bigger picture. To look at the longer-term trends, Rasmussen Reports compiles the numbers on a full-month basis, and the results can be seen in the graphics below.
Utah appears to have moved safely into Republican Donald Trump’s column with less than a week to go until Election Day.
FBI Director James Comey dropped a political bombshell last week when he publicly notified Congress that the FBI is reopening its criminal investigation of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s handling of classified material while secretary of State. President Obama, Clinton and legislators in both parties have criticized Comey's timing, but most voters approve of what he did.
Hillary Clinton has picked an awful time to hit one of the rough patches that has plagued her throughout the campaign. Now with just days to go until Election Day, there’s added uncertainty about the outcome. But while she may not be on the brink of an Electoral College win the size of Barack Obama’s in 2008 or even 2012, her position as the clear frontrunner in this race endures.
It's another presidential election cycle, and voters are more stressed at family and friends.
Open enrollment for 2017 under President Obama’s health care law began yesterday, but insurance premiums are expected to skyrocket in many parts of the country. Voters overwhelmingly favor changes in Obamacare, with more voters than ever calling for its outright repeal.

Behold, the Revenge of The Weiner.
I keep hearing that Hillary Clinton would be "Obama's third term." The math is wrong. Barack Obama served the Clinton crime family's third and fourth term. Electing Hillary would doom America to a fifth Clinton White House.
