The latest polls and trends impacting the United States.
- In a seemingly contradictory manner, a Gallup/Knight Foundation poll of collegegoers found that 78% want “safe spaces” to protect students from “threatening” ideas; the same survey found that 68% believe Free Speech is “extremely important.”
- Fox News polling in Florida gives Joe Biden a three-point lead over President Trump, however, with 12% undecided or possible third-party voters, the race is too close to call.
- Only 21% of voters agree with NY Governor Andrew Cuomo’s statement that “we’re not going to make America great again. It was never that great.” A majority believe the country’s best days are ahead.
- After a week of slumping approval ratings, President Trump is now back up to 47%.
Something political to ponder as you enjoy your morning coffee.
Martin Tolchin, a co-founder of both The Hill and Politico, responded to a New York Times editorial calling for an investigation into Tara Reade’s accusations against Joe Biden by saying, “I don’t want an investigation. I want a coronation of Joe Biden.” The idea of sweeping the claims under the table is gaining ground in the media. He further wrote: “I don’t want justice, whatever that may be. I want a win, the removal of Donald Trump from office, and Mr. Biden is our best chance.” When the media machine puts ideology over justice, it is time to start asking questions about which sources we can really trust.
A thought for the day from history’s most interesting thinkers.
The activist is not the man who says the river is dirty. The activist is the man who cleans up the river.
