            Voters tend to think Donald Trump would do a better job protecting them from terrorists.
 
        Donald Trump tells reporters, "We're going to have people sue you like you never got sued before."
 
        Would he go hard or go soft? That was the mainstream media template for judging Donald Trump's speech on immigration in Phoenix last Wednesday. The verdict: hard. "How Trump got from Point A to Point A on immigration," was the headline in the Washington Post's recap.
 
                
            Do you watch too much TV? Your fellow Americans seem to think so.
 
        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.
The president earned a monthly job approval of 50% in August, up one point from July and tying the recent high he earned in April, May and June. In 2015, the president’s full-month approval ranged from 46% to 49%. Since 2013, the president's monthly job approval rating has typically improved slightly at the beginning of each year and then fallen back. That hasn’t been the case in the final year of his presidency. Obama's monthly approval hit a recent low of 45% in November 2013 during the troubled rollout of the national health care law.
 
                
            Donald Trump’s trust advantage over Hillary Clinton in the areas of the economy and immigration have all but vanished, although independent voters continue to express a lot more faith in the GOP nominee.
 
        In 1964, Phyllis Schlafly of Alton, Illinois, mother of six, wrote and published a slim volume entitled "A Choice Not an Echo."
 
        Mark Twain famously said that there were three kinds of lies -- "lies, damned lies, and statistics." Since this is an election year, we can expect to hear plenty of all three kinds.
Even if the statistics themselves are absolutely accurate, the words that describe what they are measuring can be grossly misleading.
 
                
            Twenty-eight percent (28%) 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 September 1.
 
                
            For half of Americans, summer’s over now 'cause it’s Labor Day.
 
        More than half of the people who managed to score a personal one on one meeting with Hillary Clinton while she was Secretary of State donated money to the Clinton Foundation, either as an individual or through a company where they worked. "Combined, the 85 donors contributed as much as $156 million. At least 40 donated more than $100,000 each, and 20 gave more than $1 million," the Associated Press reported.
 
                
            Many may feel they’ve already endured enough of the presidential campaign. But the race begins in earnest on Tuesday with the end of the Labor Day weekend, and the candidates are dead even.
 
        In accepting the invitation of President Enrique Pena Nieto to fly to Mexico City, the Donald was taking a major risk.
 
        Anyone contemplating this year's appalling presidential campaign may be tempted to explain what's happening by applying the third rule of bureaucratic organizations, enunciated by the late poet and definitive scholar of Soviet terrorism Robert Conquest.
 
                
            Americans are feeling friendlier toward Mexico these days but still think it should offset the cost to the United States of the illegal immigrants it’s sending our way.
 
                
            The National Football League’s regular season officially kicks off a week from tonight in Denver, and most Americans say they’ll tune in to at least some of the games this season. Fewer adults have been catching the preseason games.
 
                
            Most voters continue to believe the U.S. military should only be used when America’s national security is at stake and think it’s being overused right now. Trump voters are more emphatic about this than Clinton supporters are.
 
        It seems like only yesterday when the Republicans took over the U.S. Senate. Actually, nearly two years have passed since that big moment, when the GOP gained nine seats and took a 54-46 majority (including two independents who caucus with the Democrats) after eight years of Democratic control.
 
                
            Hillary Clinton’s post-convention lead has disappeared, putting her behind Donald Trump for the first time nationally since mid-July.
