Polling

CNN Inside Politics host Dana Bash mournfully responded to a CNN poll on Thursday that showed 55 percent of Americans, including 52 percent of independents, believe President Joe Biden has acted inappropriately during the Hunter Biden probe by lamenting that his plan “to separate himself” from the probe has allowed Republicans to set the narrative.

Morning Joe expresses frustration that Biden is tied with Trump in the polls, and, because of his age, is not getting credit for his supposed accomplishments on the economy and other issues. Journalist Katty Kay spoke of the White House being "frustrated" by the poll. But the frustration of the panel itself was glaringly evident. Poor Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson embodied…

Despite the dismal state of the United States under President Joe Biden as well as the political prosecution of former President Donald Trump, ABC’s​ This Week anchor George Stephanopoulos was still shocked that according to a recent Wall Street Journal poll, Trump and Biden are tied in a head to head 2024 matchup. 

Is the media starting to panic? Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd put up a graphic during his roundtable discussion which compared President Joe Biden's most recent standing in the polls with where he was in October 2020, as well as Hillary Clinton's poll numbers in October 2016. This clearly made him nervous since Biden is far behind where both he and Clinton were. Of course, he…

On Friday's CNN This Morning, co-host Poppy Harlow treated Governor J.B. Pritzker (D-IL) to an interview in which the Democrat governor encouraged women to visit his state to have abortions, promoting Illinois an "oasis" for "reproductive rights." She even pressed him on whether President Joe Biden should be doing more to speak out against Republicans on the issue.

Two publicly funded media outlets, National Public Radio and the PBS NewsHour, sponsored a Marist poll to find out how Republicans feel about an issue the press has decided is urgent -- “climate change.” To their horror, it found Republicans would rather preserve living standards for humans rather than throw their money at somehow stopping the temperature from rising. NPR’s…

Friday morning’s coverage of former President Trump’s most recent indictment for the election charges included a segment on CNN News Central where anchor Kate Bolduan discussed former Vice President Mike Pence’s [R-IN] involvement and opinions on the case with his former chief of staff, Marc Short. During this interview, Bolduan asked Short about recent growing distrust in the…

Monday’s CNN News Central criticized Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis for his recent accusation of the media’s role in his low poll numbers, claiming that this accusation was DeSantis “blaming the media for the fact that he’s not doing so well,” and that this claim attributed “way, way, way more authority or influence than the mainstream media has.” Meanwhile, they were…

Thursday’s Morning Joe on MSNBC devolved into open panic and misery over new polling data and headlines that showed Americans weren’t buying the network’s vilification of recent SCOTUS decisions and that young voters were abandoning the Democratic Party in droves.

Co-host Willie Geist and New York Times editorial board member Mara Gay joined Director of Polling at…

A comprehensive new poll from the Media Research Center finds voters who rely on CNN and MSNBC are significantly less informed about a host of important issues, compared to those who reported mainly watching Fox News or Newsmax.

On Sunday morning’s Meet the Press, Chuck Todd explained the findings of a recent NBC News poll on voter satisfaction regarding the current state of the country and President Biden’s current job rating and perceived competency. These numbers did not look good for Biden, especially the percentage of voters with concerns that Biden did “not have the necessary mental and physical health…

On Monday's CNN This Morning, the show devoted a segment to fretting over a "right-wing mob" recently mounting a successful boycott against products that have promoted transgender activism.

A humorous moment took place Sunday during ABC’s This Week when co-moderator Jonathan Karl struggled to report a poll by state-affiliated media outlet National Public Radio which showed former President Donald Trump’s favorable ratings increasing among Republicans since his indictment. Trump went from 68 percent favorable prior to the indictment to 76 percent. It’s unclear whether…

A new Washington Post-Ipsos poll of 1,200 black Americans asked whether President Biden's policies helped, hurt, or made no difference to black people. Almost half -- 49 percent -- picked "made no difference." Ouch. When they displayed this poll result on CNN's Inside Politics on Thursday, I had to joke that this poll would probably being buried inside the paper. And it was -- placed…
