Most Americans support the special counsel investigation of alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, but doubt it will lead to charges against President Trump, a new IBD/TIPP Poll shows.
President Trump's popularity edged up in April, with 38% now saying they approve of the job he's doing as president, up from 37% last month, as the share of households reporting someone being unemployed sharply drops.
The IBD/TIPP Economic Optimism Index fell 3 points to 52.6 in April, continuing to fade after hitting a 13-year high of 56.7 in February.
LOS ANGELES, April 3, 2018 -- The IBD/TIPP Economic Optimism Index, a leading national poll on consumer confidence, has entered its 19th consecutive month in positive territory. This is the longest stretch in more than a decade. It is also the second month in which the index has fallen, decreasing 5.4 percent from 55.6 to 52.6. An index reading below 50 indicates pessimism while a reading above 50 signals optimism for the IBD/TIPP indexes.
People can't agree on much in these highly charged partisan times. But one thing they do agree on in the wake of Facebook's privacy scandal: The social network is having a negative impact on society.
RAMSEY, N.J., April 2, 2018 (Newswire) - Consumer demand for new vehicles improved slightly in March, as tax cuts boost disposable incomes, and the popularity of SUVs continues to grow. The Auto Demand Index rose five points, or 5.7 percent, this month to a score of 93, the first monthly gain of the year. However, March marks the second straight month in which the Index has registered a reading below 100, indicating moderate to low levels of purchase intent among consumers. As a result, TechnoMetrica expects that auto sales, after starting the year on a downward trend, will grow slightly in the near term.
The vast majority of the public says something other than insufficient gun laws was the main cause of the Florida high school shooting, which claimed the lives of 17 people. But the public nevertheless wants more gun control laws, including a ban on "assault weapons."
In his State of the Union speech, President Trump said he was willing to make a deal with Democrats. He'd create a path to citizenship for 1.8 million illegal aliens who came to the country as children, in exchange for funding for a border wall and a shift toward a skills-based immigration policy.
Americans overwhelmingly believe the Obama administration "improperly surveilled" Donald Trump's presidential campaign, and a majority say they would like to see a special prosecutor appointed to look into possible misconduct by the FBI and Department of Justice in spying on Trump, the latest IBD/TIPP poll shows.
The more the public learns about the Republican-passed tax cuts, which took effect in January, the more they like them, according to the latest IBD/TIPP poll, which also found President Trump's favorability continuing to climb, as the Democrats' chances of a wave election in November appear to diminish.
Investor’s Business Daily with a poll — and, by the way, I need to repeatedly remind you that the IBD poll remains one of the most accurate polls in recent years in predicting the outcome of various elections, including presidential. What they have determined in this latest poll is: “Public Turned Off by Media’s Relentlessly Negative Coverage of Trump — 55% of the public says they’ve grown ‘weary from the media’s persistently negative coverage of President Trump.’
After failing in its attempt to delegitimize and defeat Donald Trump through persistently negative coverage of the candidate throughout the recent campaign, the establishment news media might have been expected to acknowledge its failures and make some effort toward restoring objectivity to journalism.
If you're keeping score at home, the tally is Raghavan Mayur 2, Karl Rove zero.
A lot of people are walking into Raghavan Mayur’s office in Ramsey these days to ask how he conducts polls.
In the cornucopia of pro-Clinton polling that preceded the 2016 presidential election, two polls stood out as outliers: the USC/LA Times tracking poll and the Investor's Business Daily/TIPP tracking poll.
All night long, we heard the news networks talk about how "all" the polls and pundits were wrong. They were saying that Clinton is underperforming expectations, and voters were coming out for Trump in numbers no one had expected.
With the 2016 election nearly upon us, the political world is once again awash with presidential polls. Many of them show very different things, with some showing Hillary Clinton ahead and others Donald Trump. They can't all be right. How can you tell which polls to trust?
Long before blogger Nate Silver shot to fame for his 2012 election predictions, there was Raghavan Mayur.
The venerated Gallup Poll took a beating this year for being such an outlier in its predictions of who would win the presidency, and the New York Times's Nate Silver has now served up further evidence that the firm has lost its mojo. Silver analyzed the results obtained by about two dozen top polling firms that ran multiple surveys in the last three weeks of the campaign and then ranked the pollsters based on their accuracy: Gallup came in dead last, with an average error of 7.2 points compared to the actual results.
