Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) warned voters of the stark choice ahead now that Donald Trump is the presumptive Republican nominee for president, setting up a rematch against President Joe Biden. “We just have to win this election because he’s even predicting a ‘bloodbath,’” the former House speaker said on CNN on Sunday. “What does that mean? He’s going to exact a bloodbath?” Trump on Saturday warned of a “bloodbath” if he loses the election in November, an especially… Source link

Boy did the Republicans blow it. In midterm elections, on average, the president’s party loses 28 seats in the House of Representatives and four Senate seats. In addition to that snapback trend, Republicans were running against an unpopular president trying to explain away high inflation to cynical voters who largely think the country is going down the tubes. It should have been a Republican rout. It wasn’t. Democrats will keep control of the Senate and could even pick up one seat…. Source link

Voters are poised to give President Biden one thumbs-down in the Nov. 8 midterm elections, and maybe two. Democrats seem likely to lose control of the House of Representatives, with maybe 50-50 odds of losing the Senate, as well. The main reason is no secret: Inflation. Gasoline prices have retreated from the peak of $5 per gallon in August, to around $3.75 now. But that’s not good enough. Overall inflation is still 8.2% and food inflation is 13%. Wages are only growing by 4.3%. The typical… Source link

Given “what we know about the ongoing investigations into Donald Trump,” a narrow majority of registered voters (51%) now believe he should not “be allowed to serve as president again in the future,” according to a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll. Just 35% of voters say Trump should be allowed to serve again. The rest (14%) are unsure. The survey of 1,566 U.S. adults was conducted from Sept. 23 to 27, immediately after New York state Attorney General Letitia James filed a sweeping lawsuit… Source link

An oft-repeated regret among former aides to President Obama is that they didn’t spend enough time traveling and selling voters on their accomplishments. Recent days from the Biden White House have been a demonstration of how intent aides are on not repeating that perceived mistake. Last week, President Biden visited Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Maryland for numerous events. This week, Biden will visit Massachusetts and Michigan and is expected to deliver seven speeches. “I don’t… Source link

A new Yahoo News/YouGov poll shows that more than 6 in 10 Donald Trump voters (61%) agree that “a group of people in this country are trying to replace native-born Americans with immigrants and people of color who share their political views” — a core tenet of the false conspiracy theory known as the “great replacement.” Less than a quarter of Trump voters (22%) disagree with that statement. So-called replacement theory has been covered extensively in the days following the May 14… Source link

Democrats in Congress are arguing among themselves about whether to pass a massive spending bill, or merely a large one. They should listen to voters, who are pointing the way. A new Morning Consult poll asked voters what they think of the child tax credit Democrats expanded as part of the American Rescue Plan Congress passed in March. That law sharply increased the credit for most families with kids under 18, while also eliminating a work requirement for eligibility. Low-income families that… Source link

TipRanks Raymond James: These 3 Stocks Are Poised to Surge by Over 80% We’re a little over one week past the Presidential election, and the market reaction shows that that investors are pleased. While the election margins were razor thin, the will of the voters came through: they rejected Donald Trump, and his brash, in-your-face style, but they also rejected the Democratic Party on policy; the Dems lost seats in the House, will likely not take control of the Senate, and also lost ground at… Source link

On the eve of what threatens to be the most contentious and potentially confusing Election Day in modern memory, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden retains a double-digit lead over President Trump in the final Yahoo News/YouGov poll of the 2020 campaign — a 10-point margin that’s more than three times as large as Hillary Clinton’s final polling advantage in 2016.  Yet most voters (51 percent) also expect Trump to refuse to concede if he loses the election — and more than… Source link
