Seventy percent also want new national laws protecting users from corporate censorship.Joe Biden's approval rating remains steady at 42% as two-thirds of Americans think inflation is still increasing. Ron DeSantis continues his ascent as the poll shows him defeating Biden in a 2024 matchup for the first time.AMERICANS THINK INFLATION IS INCREASING AND WILL LINGER66% of voters think inflation is increasing, and 61% of voters think inflation will continue for at least another year.But Americans see economic troubles easing slightly: the percentage of voters who think the economy is heading in the right track and who are optimistic about their lives next year both increased by 3 points.Voters are split on whether Biden's policies caused inflation.IT'S NOW A TWO-WAY GOP RACE BETWEEN TRUMP AND DESANTISTrump is still the GOP frontrunner in an open field: 48% of GOP voters would choose him in a primary, compared to 25% for DeSantis.But in a GOP head-to-head, DeSantis defeats Trump by 4 points if GOP-leaning Independent voters are included; Trump wins the head-to-head by 10 points among only GOP voters.For the first time, the poll shows DeSantis defeating Biden in a 2024 matchup, by 4 points; Trump would also defeat Biden by 5 points.VOTERS BELIEVE TWITTER ENGAGED IN POLITICAL CENSORSHIP AND ARE ROOTING FOR ELON MUSKAmericans believe in the Twitter Files revelations: 64% think Twitter was secretly shadow banning users, and 64% also think Twitter engaged in political censorship during the 2020 election.Americans like Elon Musk: 61% think Musk is trying to clean up Twitter from abuses, and his personal favorability is 8 points above water.70% of voters, including strong majorities across the political spectrum, support new national laws protecting internet users from corporate censorship.AMERICANS THINK ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION IS A SERIOUS ISSUE BUT DON'T KNOW THE NUMBERSVoters are concerned about the effects of Biden's immigration policies: 67% think they have encouraged illegal immigration, and 57% think they are increasing the flow of drugs and crime.Americans are unfamiliar with the extent of illegal immigration: 64% correctly said the number of illegal border crossings has increased under Biden, but the median voter underestimated that number by a factor of 10 (250-500 thousand vs. 2-3 million).Two-thirds of Americans want Biden to issue stricter policies to reduce the flow of illegal immigrants, when told the actual number of illegal crossings in the last year (over 2.75 million).

The president's recent policies on student debt relief and marijuana pardons are popular but don't move the needle electorally for the Democrats.Other key findings include:VOTERS THINK REPUBLICANS ARE ADDRESSING THEIR TOP ISSUES MORE THAN DEMOCRATSInflation, crime, and immigration are the most important issues voters picked heading into the midterms – and based on each, voters say they are over 10 points more likely to vote Republican than Democratic.Americans think Republican leaders are most concerned with immigration, inflation, and the economy – while Democratic leaders are most concerned with January 6, women's rights, and the environment.AMERICANS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT A RECESSION84% of voters think the US is in a recession now or will be in one by next year.58% are not confident in the Biden administration's ability to keep inflation at bay.Americans are worried about the Fed: 74% think the Fed will cause a recession.BIDEN'S DEBT RELIEF AND MARIJUANA PARDON POLICIES ARE POPULAR BUT DON'T MOVE THE NEEDLE ELECTORALLY67% approve of Biden's marijuana pardon, but it has no net effect on the electorate: 36% of voters say it makes them more likely to vote Republican, and 35% say more likely to vote Democratic.It's a similar story for Biden's student debt relief: 58% support his act – but 41% say it has made them more likely to vote Republican, compared to 35% Democratic.AMERICANS LEAN TOWARDS HAWKISH FOREIGN POLICY ON OIL AND RUSSIA65% oppose easing sanctions on countries like Iran and Venezuela as a way to lower gas and oil prices; instead, they want greater output of American oil and gas.54% think the US should cut military sales and technical aid to the Saudi Arabian government in response to their oil production cut.Voters are split on whether or not Biden's policies on Ukraine are pushing us towards nuclear war, and a majority remain supportive of providing aid to Ukraine.If Russia uses a nuclear weapon on Ukraine, 59% of Americans are willing to send in NATO.

Each month, presidential pollster, Harris Poll Chairman and Stagwell Global Chairman & CEO MARK PENN and BOB CUSACK,  Editor in Chief of The Hill discuss the findings of the latest Harvard CAPS / Harris Poll. 2,000 registered voters were surveyed July 28-29, 2022. When asked how he'd sum up the latest polling numbers, Penn offered "HOPE".TRANSCRIPTPenn: I think this month's word is "HOPE". I think this poll shows that all is not lost for the Democrats, despite a very difficult situation out there. A president with very low ratings, the congressional horse race still remains close, which means that Democrats should not give up the ship here and have some hope.Cusack: And that hope certainly would be in keeping the Senate. You know, the House is going to be difficult to retain based upon history and the president's numbers. Why do you think Democrats have had a little bit of a bump here, as you mentioned, and why do you think that the congressional generic polling is, is a dead heat with Biden's numbers still lowPenn: Well, Biden staying at 38% job approval and disapproval on virtually every major issue. But I think in some ways voters have come to separate Biden who they largely think is incompetent or not a good president from the democratic party and the democratic cause in general, as opposed to the Republicans. And so I think the Democrats have some things going for them, certainly choice in guns, helped rally. I think some of their supporters who otherwise really didn't have a big issue that they could fasten on because the election had been otherwise been dominated by inflation and immigration and crime, all Republican leaning, all Republican leading issues. So, and I think finally, you know, the Republican party is a divided party and Trump is knocking down half of the nominees. Some of the Trump nominees that were successful in the primaries are having, you know, a lot of trouble in the general election, particularly Oz in Pennsylvania. And they don't have an effective message machine out there right now. So, so that kind of tilts the page that maybe the, maybe tilts the odds just a little bit from what would otherwise have been a pretty dire situation.Cusack: And of course, Democrats can't get too over confident. The numbers on the economy are not good. There's an intensifying debate on whether we're in a recession or not. Technically we have not heard from this nonprofit group called the National Bureau of Economic Research, which decides that though we have had data of negative growth in consecutive quarters. What the economic numbers mean to you, Mark? And do you think this whole issue of a recession, does it matter? Because a lot of people think we're either in one or we're going to be in one?Penn: Well, most people think we're either in one or we're going to be in one, as you say, but we are definitely in a polling recession. If I were the national bureau of polling, would I declare an economic recession? Absolutely. Because we have 67% who say that the economy is on the wrong track and we have 56% of Americans saying their personal economic situation is worsening. These numbers reflect at least a polling recession. For sure. And I do think this debate about recession or not. I mean, you could Google it every single source and news thing until yesterday has always said that that two quarters of contracting grosses a recession. Recession's not a dep

Each month, presidential pollster, Harris Poll Chairman and Stagwell Global Chairman & CEO MARK PENN and BOB CUSACK,  Editor in Chief of The Hill discuss the findings of the latest Harvard CAPS / Harris Poll. 1,308 registered voters were surveyed earlier this week between June 28-29, 2022. (Link to the full poll here).  When asked how he'd sum up the latest polling numbers, Penn offered "CATACLYSMIC".FULL TRANSCRIPTBob Cusack, The Hill (00:00):To capture the polling that you did, what's the ONE word you'd pick?Mark Penn, The Harris Poll (00:08):CataclysmicBob Cusack, The Hill (00:10):And why is that?Mark Penn, The Harris Poll (00:12):Well, because the public feeling of, uh, that the economy is on the wrong track and that their personal lives are deteriorating is overwhelming in this poll with 70% or more saying the economy is on the wrong track with the notion that, that their personal lives were deteriorating shooting up so dramatically. Uh, I think that, uh, almost 80% either think we're going into a recession or we're in a recession. I think somehow the message of economic doom and gloom has been completely communicated to this electorate. And that makes for a very, very sour electorate.Bob Cusack, The Hill (00:55):Your polling, Mark, now has the President at 38%. Usually he's been in the low forties in your polls. And obviously this is a very different summer, than last summer when Biden basically had some type of honeymoon Afghanistan hadn't really, turned into the debacle that it did, and his numbers were much higher. Um, you see, the left is frustrated with Biden, you know, compare the numbers of Biden now to Trump, because it seems like with Trump, he was always in the forties and he held down to the base. I know you made the case and I agree with you that he should have gone for more independence, but Biden's losing everybody right now.

Each month, presidential pollster, Harris Poll Chairman and Stagwell Global Chairman & CEO MARK PENN and BOB CUSACK,  Editor in Chief of The Hill discuss the findings of the latest Harvard CAPS / Harris Poll. This month's survey of 2,000 registered voters was conducted May 18-19, 2022. When asked how he'd sum up the mood of the country in just one word, Penn offered "INFLATION".  The Harvard CAPS / Harris Poll is a monthly poll released by Harvard's Center for American Political Studies and Harris Insights and Analytics. Conducted online within the United States, every monthly survey captures the responses of over 2,000 registered voters. The results reflect a nationally representative sample. Results were weighted for age within gender, region, race/ethnicity, marital status, household size, income, employment, and education where necessary to align them with their actual proportions in the population. Propensity score weighting was also used to adjust for respondents' propensity to be online.

Each month, presidential pollster, Harris Poll Chairman and Stagwell Global Chairman & CEO MARK PENN and BOB CUSACK,  Editor in Chief of The Hill discuss the findings of the latest Harvard CAPS / Harris Poll. This month's survey of 1,966 registered voters was conducted between April 20 - April 21, 2022. (Link to the full poll is here). When asked how he'd sum up the mood of the country in just one word, Penn offered "FEAR".  This was also the theme of Penn's April 25 Opinion essay in The New York Times: American Voters Haven't Been Afraid Like This in a Long Time ."In a rare convergence, America's voters are not merely unhappy with their political leadership, but awash in fears about economic security, border security, international security and even physical security. Without a U-turn by the Biden administration, this fear will generate a wave election like those in 1994 and 2010, setting off a chain reaction that could flip the House and the Senate to Republican control in November, and ultimately the presidency in 2024.Take the economy, so often the harbinger of election results. From late 2017 until the pandemic, a majority of Americans believed that the economy was strong, and from 2014 until the pandemic at least a plurality believed their personal economic situation was improving. Covid-19 cut sharply into that feeling of well-being; this was initially seen as temporary, though, and trillions of dollars flowed into keeping people afloat. But then near-double-digit inflation hit consumers for the first time in 40 years; 60 percent of voters now see the economy as weak and 48 percent say their financial situation is worsening, according to a Harris poll conducted April 20-21. Many Americans under 60 have relatively little experience with anything but comparatively low fuel costs, negligible interest rates and stable prices. Virtually overnight these assumptions have been shaken. Only 35 percent approve of President Biden's handling of inflation. FULL OP-ED

Each month, presidential pollster, Harris Poll Chairman and Stagwell Global Chairman & CEO MARK PENN and BOB CUSACK,  Editor in Chief of The Hill discuss the findings of the latest Harvard CAPS / Harris poll. This month's survey of 1,990 registered voters was conducted between March 23-24, 2022. (Link to the full poll is here). Despite a slight uptick in optimism for the direction of the country and economy, Biden's approval rating remains at 39%. A little more than half of voters have doubts about his mental fitness and ability to handle difficult international situations, while 6 in 10 deem him too old for office. GOP support heading into the midterm election is now strong. In the Congressional horserace, Republicans edge out Democrats 53 to 47, winning two thirds of the Independent vote, and leading among suburbanites, men, women, middled-aged, and older voters. Inflation and soaring prices (32%), the economy and unemployment (27%), and immigration (21%) have taken as the top issues among voters, while concern over COVID is quickly falling in priority. Three out of four voters say they have been affected by inflation directly at the grocery line and the gas pump. 8 out of 10 voters expect inflation to stay high or get worse, and public opinion is split on whether the Fed should be toggling interest rates in this economic climate or whether that would result in worse outcomes. Blame for the uptick in oil prices is placed on Biden (64%) and Putin (72%). In this environment, two thirds of voters want Biden to relax climate change policies and loosen regulations on domestic drilling of oil and gas. Today, more than three fourths of voters support restarting the Keystone pipeline to alleviate costs. Voters resoundingly want more action taken by US & NATO leadership when it comes to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Seven out of ten voters want more punishing economic sanctions; 76% want the U.S. and NATO to send missile defense systems; and 71% would send military aircraft to Ukraine. 57% support a no-fly zone despite the risks of directly engaging with Russia's military; however, voters are split on boots on the ground, with just less than half supporting this action. Today an overwhelming majority of American voters (86%) believe Russia's actions to be war crimes punishable by the international court of justice, with equal numbers believing Putin is directly responsible for these war crimes. Sanctioning Russia through private business interruption remains very popular, as an overwhelming majority (three-fourths) want American companies, big tech and even fast-food companies to suspend operations in the Kremlin. Public opinion on some of the other topics in the news offers interesting insights into the voice of American voters. 57% of voters support the confirmation of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court. A large majority of voters oppose sexuality being discussed at the elementary school level, and around two thirds of voters oppose transitioning athletes competing in opposite sex sports events.

The findings reflect a bleak mood among the American body politic, shaped by worsening economic expectations and a perceived lack of strength on Ukraine.

Only a third of voters say that Biden is doing a good job on the economy and stimulating jobs. Further, 54% say Biden say they are not confide Biden is able to handle difficult international issues like Ukraine. 64% say he is showing he is too old and 53% have doubts about his mental fitness for officePresident Biden is seen as being weak on Russia in the lead-up to the Ukraine invasion. Sixty-four percent see Biden as having been too lenient on Russia. Fifty-nine percent say Vladimir Putin sees weakness in Biden that is why he is moving on Ukraine  (including 55% of independents). And 62 percent say Putin would not have moved against Ukraine if Trump was president (including 63% of independents).

Each month, Mark Penn, Harris Poll Chairman and Stagwell Chairman & CEO and Bob Cusack, Editor-in-Chief of The Hill, discuss the latest Harvard-Harris Poll. The latest poll was conducted January 20-21 among 2,000 registered voters nationwide. For regular updates, follow @Mark_Penn_Polls on Twitter, @mark-penn-polls on LinkedIn, @MarkPennPolls on Facebook and @mark_penn_polls on Instagram.Bob Cusack:Mark, some interesting polling here, Harvard Harris, if you had to sum it up in one word, what would that word be?Mark Penn:Well, "divot" would be my word because I called on the president to pivot, and instead he dug a divot, meaning he just swung his club exactly the same place that he did before, expecting a different result. And he doubled down on a strategy that is failing, and his presidency grows weaker and weaker.Bob Cusack:Looking at some of the data here, I mean, 63% wrong track on the economy. That's pretty bad for the president. His COVID numbers, not as bad as some of these other issues like crime, which 64% believe is increasing in big cities. His head-to-head numbers with Trump, Trump at 53, Biden at 47, as far as who's a better president. And I think it's fascinating that independents, 55% say Trump better president than Biden, and Trump's suburban numbers are better than Biden's. And that's part of the reason that Joe Biden is president is because of the suburbs.Bob Cusack:And heading into the midterms, what were your kind of just takeaways of the biggest issues or problems this president has? I mean, this is wintertime for Democrats without a doubt. The summertime was much better. The winter has been really rough for the president.Mark Penn:Well, I think the president is facing personal questions, because 61% say that he is too old. And when I ask people what concerns them the most about the president, people say, "Whether or not he's competent." And so I think this presidency is stripped to the bone in terms of this basic question, can the president effectively serve the nation? And that's a problem. I mean, I've never quite seen that before, in the worst days of Clinton or Obama. Trump, of course there were a lot of questions about his mental fitness for office, but they actually never amounted to 61%. So I think that's a core question before you even get to what I'd say is the kind of foreign policy, domestic policy and legislative policy, right?Mark Penn:And so on a foreign policy point of view, Afghanistan was a disaster. It continues to get 30, 31% approval. And now we're heading into a potential Ukraine disaster. President said, "Well, maybe if they took a little, it would be not, who knows?" And that left a remarkable opening for Putin. I can't imagine, and I always hate saying this because other people do, I can't imagine if Trump had said that. I just can't imagine what the headlines would have been. If Trump had said, "Well, he could take a little bit of the Ukraine."

Particularly as the virus is seen as growing and the economy is seen as sinking.Bob Cusack:So Mark, if you had one word to really capture this month's polling, what would it be?Mark Penn:The word would be "cementing". The negative attitudes towards the administration are now being set as set as immigration, crime, core issues, now also next to that are the economy and the virus is going up, producing a negative mood and the gap in the leadership the people are looking for. These negative ratings that we saw during the summer that happened during Afghanistan have really cemented now and that's going to mean real problems for the democrats and this administration unless they act and act in a really big way.Bob Cusack:What was the most surprising thing? Because there's a lot of data here, there's presidential, there's virus data. What surprised you the most this month?Mark Penn:I was surprised most by the fact that the public mood is turning so sour in such a short period of time. This is almost a repeat of what happened with Obama but almost to a greater swing where there was so much promise, we have a democratic president, we're no longer governed by Trump, it's a new day, the economy is tooling along. All of those things looked so great in the spring and now the public is like my situation is getting worse, they see inflation, the economy is on the wrong track, they don't like the president, they're turning on the democratic party, a little bit on the republican. I mean it's just a sour mood out there. And as you know, when the public mood is sour, incumbents better watch out.Bob Cusack:That's right. I mean we're seeing a lot of democrats retire instead of seek re-election. That's always a telling sign that the party is not going to do that great going into the midterm. The virus is back as a top issue. And you really have to, sometimes, step back also. I know we do this every month, but we're still in the first year of the Biden presidency. And I know honeymoons don't last forever and Joe Biden's honeymoon is way over. But aren't these bad numbers? Again, they were good earlier this year and we talked about that. But for a first year president, these numbers are kind of troubling, aren't they?

You can always check for the full results at HarvardHarrisPoll.com. We'll be improving that website, if not this month, probably by the next. And you can listen to us have a pretty good discussion with Bob Cusack, Editor-in-Chief of The Hill.Bob Cusack (00:42):Thanks, Mark. As far as this polling, it's more bad news for The President. I mean, what do you think summarizes all this data that you have? What is the word that comes across or sentence, for The White House, looking at these really dismal numbers?Mark Penn (01:04):"SINKING" - The White House continues to sink, right? And they're sinking now. And in, because the economy is seen by the average voter, as deteriorating, is on the wrong track and inflation is coming in and higher gas prices. And ironically, even as people see the, uh, virus is receding, the administration is not getting any credit. What really is happening here is that in the past, when the virus seemed to be receding, there was sort of an economic euphoria, oh, this is great. We're going to get back. Now, the virus is receding, but people say, well, now I'm really worried about what's happening here in the economy, taxing spending inflation deficits. I mean, that leaves aside all the other issues, but I think that's the most troublesome thing right now for this administration.Bob Cusack (02:03):And that dynamic, I think is so important because as we've gone through this pandemic since March of 2020, we've done, you've done a lot of polls. We've talked about it a lot when it was really bad, obviously that hurt The President. A lot of people think that if COVID hadn't come along then Trump would be in a second term, or if he handled COVID just a bit better. He would still be President. Is this the first time you're seeing this fading as an issue, but, but the president not, not getting any credit? Because this summer, if I'm not mistaken, he was getting some credit.

Political season is upon us. And both sides, Democrats and Republicans, are scrambling for solutions to fix our country's financial future.
