DURHAM, New Hampshire — Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez taunted President Trump at a Bernie Sanders rally on the eve of the New Hampshire Democratic primary.
Americans’ confidence in the economy climbed to its highest level in more than 16 years this month, buoyed by recent breakthroughs on trade, strong job growth, low-interest rates, and record gains in stocks, according to the latest reading of the Investor’s Business Daily/TIPP Economic Optimism Index, a leading indicator for the health of consumer spending and the economy. Also, February marks the index’s 41st consecutive month in optimistic territory, suggesting that U.S. consumers will continue to power the economy forward in the months ahead.
The impeachment struggle is now over. Historians may one day vindicate Democrats for exposing Donald Trump’s abuse of power. But as of now, they have lost. Not only will Trump remain president, and not only does he appear stronger politically than before the impeachment battle began, but he has succeeded in doing precisely what he wanted in the first place: He tarred Joe Biden, who last year looked like Trump’s most formidable Democratic rival, with the kind of vague suspicion of wrongdoing that presidential candidates can’t easily shake.

Optimism over the U.S. economy surged to a 16-year high in late January, the latest IBD/TIPP Poll found. The U.S. economy couldn't be in much better shape to weather the emerging coronavirus threat or support President Donald Trump's reelection prospects. Support for federal economic policies hit the highest level since mid-2002.
As we enter another major electoral cycle, we begin to hear more from political polling organizations, most of which I do not trust. They were dead wrong in the 2016 presidential election. So much so, their credibility has yet to recover. I think it comes down to the methodology they use to conduct a poll. Some use general registered voters, some do not, some are strictly aimed at a particular political party, and others will take whoever has a pulse, be it a citizen or not.
Joe Biden’s (D) lead over President Trump in a general election matchup has “essentially vanished,” January’s IBD/TIPP poll released on Friday found.
As the nation gets ready for a presidential election, the Democratic Party is in total turmoil. Their 2020 presidential candidates are not exciting voters. There is a very large field of candidates, but none of them seem able to defeat President Donald Trump in the upcoming general election.
More than a quarter of Democratic voters are supporting Joe Biden, according to the latest national poll from Investor’s Business Daily.
LOS ANGELES -- February 4, 2020 -- The IBD/TIPP Economic Optimism Index, a leading national poll on consumer confidence, maintained its positivity in February, rising another 4.2% to 59.8. This is the highest reading for the Economic Optimism Index since it reached 60.6 in January 2004. Despite a slight decline on the Personal Financial Outlook component, the index maintained its record run in positive territory, remaining above 50.0 for 41 consecutive months. An index reading below 50.0 for the IBD/TIPP indexes indicates pessimism.

Even as the Trump impeachment trial plays out, Americans still narrowly oppose removing President Donald Trump from office, the latest IBD/TIPP Poll finds. Meanwhile, despite the impeachment, Trump's job approval rating showed further improvement, though it remained under water.
Former Vice President Joe Biden holds a steady lead in the Democratic nomination battle, the late January IBD/TIPP Poll finds. Yet Biden's support remains at a low point, and his advantage vs. President Donald Trump in the 2020 election has essentially disappeared. Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders, who is showing strength in early-voting-state polls, has overtaken Elizabeth Warren for second place.
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.
