Good riddance to the feckless feds, and don't come back, y'all.
The presidential race is still shaping up as Donald Trump vs. Hillary Clinton. So which of the two likely candidates do voters trust more on several of the key issues facing the nation?
Amid the petty bickering, loud rhetoric and sordid attack ads in this year's primary election campaigns, the death of a giant -- Justice Antonin Scalia -- suddenly overshadows all of that.
The CBS presidential debate in Greenville, South Carolina, started off with a moment of silence in memory of Justice Antonin Scalia, whose death was announced earlier in the day. And the debate that followed was a sort of tribute to the late jurist.
Voters feel strongly that wealthy donors and special interests and the media are too strong a presence in politics, but they remain closely divided over which is the worst problem.

Americans don’t rate Presidents’ Day too highly on their list of federal holidays, but most think the number of holidays celebrated by the federal government is about right.
Late last year, I interviewed Bernie Sanders while working on my biography, "Bernie." I asked him if he planned to reduce the defense budget if elected president.

New Hampshire’s fading in the rear view mirror, and now all eyes are on the Nevada caucus and the South Carolina primary. Will Donald Trump keep winning? Will Hillary Clinton start winning?

New Hampshire voters issued a rebuke to conventional party leaders when they voted by large margins for Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders in Tuesday's primaries. But Sanders is not going to win the Democratic nomination, and it's by no means certain Trump will be the Republican nominee.

Most voters think that’s the way to go to avoid any possible conflict of interest.
If you believed America's longest war, in Afghanistan, was coming to an end, be advised: It is not.
Yes or no, is Donald Trump really a conservative? Many in the conservative establishment including prominent commentators and the editors of National Review magazine say he is not, but what do voters think?
Prominent female supporters of Hillary Clinton declared over the weekend that women voters have an obligation to vote for a woman candidate, but voters overwhelmingly reject that notion.
That Bernie Sanders won New Hampshire was not a surprise. That he won by so much is. It’s a tremendous shot in the arm for his campaign and a jarring setback for Hillary Clinton.
