Poll: More Americans “Happier” with Trump’s Lost than Biden Win

We couldn’t take the nonsense anymore. It’s like the nation just woke up and decided that anyone would be better than the current occupant of the White House.

About one-third of respondents, 34 percent, said they were happy about Trump’s loss, compared to 25 percent who said they were happy about Biden’s victory. However, when the sentiment was expanded to happy or “satisfied,” the percentages were nearly the same, with 52 percent saying they were happy or satisfied with Trump’s loss and 51 percent saying they were happy or satisfied with Biden’s win.

People who voted for Biden were also more likely to be happy Trump lost (73 percent) than happy Biden won (57 percent). Twenty-six percent of Trump voters said they were angry Trump lost, compared to 36 percent who were angry Biden won.

Donald Trump Leads Hillary Clinton by 1 in New Poll

Just when you think Americans knew better, you see polls like this.

Strong enthusiasm for Hillary Clinton has ebbed since the renewal of the FBI’s email investigation.

While vote preferences have held essentially steady, she’s now a slim point behind Donald Trump — a first since May — in the latest ABC News/Washington Post tracking poll, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates.

In the latest results, 46 percent of likely voters support Trump, and 45 percent are for Clinton. With the data taken to a decimal place for illustrative purposes, a mere 0.7 of a percentage point divides them.

Hillary Clinton Now Leads Trump by 7 Points Nationally

Politico reports that Hillary Clinton has opened up a six-point lead over Donald Trump, erasing the New York billionaire’s slim national edge with five weeks until Election Day, according to a new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll of likely voters.

Clinton leads Trump 42-36 in the four-way race for the White House. Gary Johnson garnered 9 percent, Jill Stein got 2 percent and 10 percent remain undecided. It’s a dramatic bump for Clinton: Trump led by one point before the debate, and in a POLITICO/Morning Consult survey conducted immediately after the debate, Clinton led by four points.
Story Continued Below

In a head-to-head race between Trump and Clinton, Clinton leads by seven points, 46 percent to 39 percent.
Clinton’s lead comes at the tail end of a particularly tough week for Trump. His debate performance was uneven and widely panned by Republicans and Democrats alike. He then spent a few days chiding Alicia Machado, a former Miss Universe, for gaining weight nearly two decades ago.

Poll – GOP Chuck Grassley Fighting for his Political Life

I call it the Trump Effect.

A Loras College poll released Thursday had the Iowa lawmaker in a statistical dead heat against Patty Judge, his Democratic challenger. Grassley led by only one point, 46-45, against the former lieutenant governor. That nominal advantage was well within the poll’s four-point margin or error.

Public Policy Polling, a left-leaning firm, released a survey earlier last week showing Grassley with a 7-point lead. But even that margin hardly suggests safety for the incumbent.

“When I see a poll like the Loras poll or the [Public Polling Policy] poll, if I’m Grassley that makes me nervous. …That’s trouble,” said David Peterson, a political science professor at Iowa State University and editor of the academic journal Political Behavior. “I think he’s clearly more vulnerable than he’s been in past elections.”

Democrats and outside groups pounced on the polling.

Judge’s campaign blasted out the Loras College poll, noting Grassley “is consistently polling in the 40s for the first time since his election to the Senate in the 1980s.”

“We’re obviously excited about that poll,” Sam Roecker, Judge’s campaign manager, told The Hill. “This is unprecedented for Chuck Grassley.”

Poll – A Majority of Sensible Americans View Trump Unfavorably

By ‘majority’ I mean around 70 percent. By ‘sensible’ I mean anyone who is not a member of the Republican party.

Seven in 10 Americans see Donald Trump unfavorably in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll, up 10 points in just the past month to a new high since he announced his candidacy for president. But Hillary Clinton reached a new high for unfavorability as well, 55 percent.

The results mark the striking challenges facing both candidates, cementing their position as the two most unpopular presumptive major party nominees for president in ABC News/Washington Post polling dating to 1984.

Trump’s result reverses a boost he received after securing the Republican presidential nomination, from 37-60 percent favorable-unfavorable in mid-May to 29-70 percent now, after a week in which he took sharp criticism for suggesting that he was being treated unfairly by a federal judge because of the judge’s Mexican heritage.

Trump’s unfavorable score is a point from his highest on record, 71 percent in late May last year, just before he formally entered the presidential race June 16. His decline in favorability in the past month was broadly based across groups.

National Poll – Bernie Sanders And Hillary Clinton Tied

Have you heard? Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are effectively tied among Democratic voters, according to the results of a Bloomberg Politics poll released Thursday.

Of the 311 people who indicated that they have voted or will vote in their state’s Democratic primary or caucus, 49 percent said they support Sanders, while 48 percent indicated that they prefer Clinton and the remaining 3 percent said they are not sure.

In terms of the candidates’ individual qualities and positions, Clinton generally outdrew Sanders on issues related to foreign policy, Congress, effectiveness and temperament, while majorities gave the Vermont senator higher marks for fighting hard for the middle class, honesty and trustworthiness and reining in Wall Street institutions.

Poll – Bernie Sanders Now Leads in Iowa AND New Hampshire

Bernie Sanders just keep chipping and chipping and chipping away at what seemed to be an almost insurmountable lead for Hillary Clinton in Iowa, and if this new Quinnipiac poll is to be believed, Hillary Clinton should worry.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders wins the support of 49 percent of likely Democratic Caucus participants, with 44 percent for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and 4 percent for former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.

This compares to the results of a December 15 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University showing Clinton at 51 percent, with 40 percent for Sanders.

Today, 3 percent are undecided and only 20 percent of those who name a candidate say they might change their mind.

There is a yawning gender gap as men back Sanders 61 – 30 percent, with 6 percent for O’Malley, while women back Clinton 55 – 39 percent, with 3 percent for O’Malley.

Sanders also has a big lead on favorability as likely Democratic Caucus participants give him an 87 – 3 percent favorability rating, compared to Clinton’s 74 – 21 percent score.

Trump’s “Ban All Muslims” Comment Gives him Bigger Lead in South Carolina

A recently released Fox News poll shows Donald Trump’s “Ban all Muslims” anti-constitution comment has helped him among Republicans in his run for president. The poll shows for example, that Republicans in South Carolina not only stuck with Donald Trump even after his anti-Muslims statement, the poll shows Trump actually getting more Republicans in South Caroling jumping on board.

That poll, released by FOX News on Wednesday night, was taken in a 72-hour period of time when Trump made the comments calling for a ““total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on.”

“It looks like his comments help him in South Carolina,” the FOX News report said. “Support for Trump increased eight points after his statement — from 30 percent the first two nights vs. 38 percent the last two nights. The shift is within the margin of sampling error.”

Trump has 35 percent of total support in the poll with neurosurgeon Ben Carson receiving 15 percent of support and Sen. Ted Cruz and Sen. Marco Rubio receiving 14 percent of support each.

Bush, Christie and the other jokers somehow managed to rake in a massive 3 percent a piece.

Republicans Approve – Trump Gets his Biggest Lead Ever

Donald Trump’s bigotry and fascist tendencies are reaping huge benefits for the Republican, as other apparent like-minded folks in the Republican party flock together to bolster Trump’s numbers.

A new CNN poll finds 36% of registered Republicans and Republican-leaning independents behind Trump, while his nearest competitor trails by 20 points.

Three candidates cluster behind Trump in the mid-teens, including Texas Sen. Ted Cruz at 16%, former neurosurgeon Ben Carson at 14% and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio at 12%. All other candidates have the support of less than 5% of GOP voters in the race for the Republican Party’s nomination for president.

Carson (down 8 points since October), former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (down 5 points to 3%) and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul (down 4 points to 1%) have lost the most ground since the last CNN/ORC poll, conducted in mid-October.

Cruz (up 12 points) and Trump (up 9 points) are the greatest beneficiaries of those declines. Rubio is also up slightly, gaining 4 points — an increase within the poll’s margin of sampling error — since the last CNN/ORC poll.

New Poll – Donald Trump’s Crazy Antics Give Him HUGE GOP Lead

Over the last few weeks Donald Trump and Ben Carson were basically tied for the first position in the race for the Republican nomination for president. But thanks to the recent terrorist attacks in France, and some idiotic and anti-constitution statements from Trump regarding Syrian refugees,  in addition to his unbelievable vernal attack on Ben Carson, the Republican base has once again fall in love with The Donald.

A new poll shows Donald Trump with  commanding lead over the rest of the Republican field for president.

In the Republican primary race, the newest NBC News/SurveyMonkey online poll shows Donald Trump has the frontrunner spot to himself, with 28% support among Republican and independent voters who lean Republican. Support for Ben Carson, who was tied with Trump in last month’s online poll, has fallen off by 8 points and the former neurosurgeon is now tied with Ted Cruz at 18%. Trailing not too far behind is Marco Rubio, at 11%. The next tier of candidates has a lot of catching up to do, with Jeb Bush at 4% and Chris Christie and Carly Fiorina each with 3%.

New Poll – Bernie Sanders Has Double Digit Lead over Donald Trump and Jeb Bush

Bernie Sanders – Can you #FeelTheBern?

In a new McClatchy-Marist poll, Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) leads Republican candidate Donald Trump by a landslide margin of 12 percentage points, 53 to 41. In the McClatchy poll, Sanders also leads former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) by a landslide margin of 10 points, 51 to 41.

The huge Sanders advantage over Bush is new. In previous match-ups, the polling showed Sanders and Bush running virtually even, with Bush holding a 1-point lead over Sanders in most of the polls. Future polls will be needed to test whether the huge Sanders lead over Bush in the McClatchy poll will be repeated in future polling or whether the McClatchy poll is an outlier.
