Mainstream media would have you believe that Trump's first 100 days were a failure—despite securing the border and strong economic gains. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the polling regarding Donald Trump's early 2025 presidency on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” and asks the question: Were pollsters reflecting public opinion, or manipulating it? “There were analyses after each of the 2016, the 2020, and the 2024 elections about the accuracy of polls, post facto, of the election. And we learned that they were way off in 2016. They said they had learned their lessons.  “They were way off in 2020. They said they learned their lesson. And they were way off in 2024. And why are they way off? Because liberal pollsters—and that's the majority of people who do these surveys—believe that if they create artificial leads for their Democratic candidates, it creates greater fundraising and momentum.   “ If you look at the polls that were the most accurate—Mark Penn was very accurate. He's a Democratic pollster. But especially, the Rasmussen poll and the Insider Advantage and the Trafalgar poll. … They have Trump ahead by anywhere from two to three points after 100 days.”

Pollsters, the media, and the institutionalized Left. What do they all have in common?  President Trump's first 100 days weren't as chaotic as they advertised. Now, they fear that the American people will see right through their deception, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:” “They polled over 2,000 people, but only 840 were identified as Trump voters. Shouldn't that have been half? So, what am I getting at? We're getting right back to what happened in 2016 when the polls were completely wrong. The same thing happened in 2020 when they overestimated Biden's strength by four or five points. And then, even in 2024, the NPR poll had—on the last day of the election—they had Kamala Harris winning by four points.”

We are 100 days into the second Trump administration and there's no better person to help us understand what voters are making of these first months of Trump 2.0 than Republican pollster Kristen Soltis Anderson.Kristen is a founding partner of Echelon Insights, an opinion research and analytics firm. She's a contributing opinion writer for The New York Times and an on air political contributor at CNN.Quick disclaimer: we taped this conversation on Thursday, April 24th, before the flurry of 100 day polls were released this past weekend. That's why you won't hear us asking her about these polls. But the reason we wanted to have Kristen on in the first place was that we didn't want to get caught up in the immediate set of data. We wanted Kristen to do what she does best which is to filter the signal from the noise, present a 30,000 view of the political environment rather than focusing on the minutiae or just small movements in data. What we like about Kristen so much is that she's able to to toggle seamlessly between reading cross tabs but also probing voters in focus groups and really listening to what they are saying or not saying, and then explaining it to regular people in a way that is approachable but not condescending.That's why we were especially excited to talk with her about a presidency as complicated and unprecedented as Trump's.Sign up for our free weekly newsletter, In Brief: https://www.cookpolitical.com/in-brief-sign-upLearn more about The Cook Political Report: www.cookpolitical.com/subscribe

The first 100 days is here for the Trump Admin. It has been nothing short of action packed and monumental.

We're now more than three months into the second Trump administration and to say that it's been a tumultuous period would be a vast understatement.

Parliament is back after the Easter holiday and the Supreme Court ruling over 'what is a woman' continues to dominate talk in Westminster. The Prime Minister has changed his tune on trans, declaring he does not think that trans women are women. This has caused some disquiet in the party, with a number of senior MPs breaking rank over the weekend. Was Starmer right to row in behind the ruling? Also on the podcast, as we edge closer to the local elections, they look increasingly important for the two main parties. Pollsters are forecasting a good result for smaller insurgent parties such as Reform and the Greens, with big losses for Labour and the Conservatives. It is not an overstatement to suggest that these could be the most important local elections in recent history. What will these elections mean for the two-party system? Natasha Feroze speaks to James Heale and Paul Goodman. Produced by Patrick Gibbons and Oscar Edmondson.

Send us a textMargot Patterson talks to Dr. James Zogby about the Trump administration's effort to deport foreign students and scholars who have protested Israel's war on Gaza. The attempt to stifle dissent over U.S. support for Israel is part of a larger attack on free speech and academic freedom at universities that the Trump administration is waging. Pollster, Middle East scholar and the founder and president of the Arab-American Institute, the political and policy research arm of the Arab-American community, Dr. Zogby says what's being dismantled is an architecture of human rights that will not easily be rebuilt.

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail. Alright, greetings you curiouser and curiouser Herle Burly-ites! As we record this podcast, we are either on the eve of a federal election, or, on the eve of the eve of a federal election as just about everybody expects Prime Minister Carney to call it in a matter of days.Poll watchers know that Mr. Carney seems to have resurrected this dangerous and ephemeral thing called HOPE, for the Liberal Party. The numbers over the last 10 days seem to indicate that Canadians lean to Carney in an election seen as “Who can best protect Canada and our economy in a Triple-T world ... Trump, Trade and Tariffs.”But I want to do a deeper probe of the data and situation today. What exactly is the current state of play? How solid is this new Liberal support? How are Carney and Poilievre both currently positioned? And what room is there for other issues to creep into the narrative?I've assembled a crack Pollster Panel to have that conversation: David Coletto, Sylvie Paradis, and Frank Graves.David is Founder, Chair and CEO of Abacus Data and is one of Canada's best known public opinion analysts and social researchers.Sylvie is a noted Quebec-based pollster where she's served as poller, data modeler and forecaster for the QLP for 13 years, and was national co-chair of the 2019 Trudeau campaign for Quebec.And Frank, the famous (or maybe infamous) “Voice of Franky”, is the Founder and President of EKOS Research Associates, and one of this country's leading applied social researchers.Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

Anne Telnaes Edward "Big Balls" Coristine, State Department Senior Adviser “Big Balls” is 19-year-old high school graduate Edward Coristine, who now works as a “senior adviser” in the State Department's Bureau of Diplomatic Technology. That pretty much sums up President Elon Musk's reign of terror running through the federal government, even as Trump's Clown Cabinet gets virtually unanimous support from a spineless U.S. Senate. This week we talk with a veteran of federal departments that are being gutted by the Musk administration. In Michigan, we have our first polling on how the race for Governor might be impacted by third-party candidate Mike Duggan. We get the detailed findings from veteran pollster Bernie Porn, CEO of EPIC-MRA. Also on our radar:  Governor Whitmer and the Legislature are in last-minute 3-way negotiations over Michigan's minimum wage and paid medical leave;  The CEO of Ford warns that Trump's economic agenda could cripple the auto industry which means crippling Michigan's economy; And the Governor is looking at weed and big corporations to fund more fixing of the damn roads. Also joining us on the podcast: University of Michigan law professor Sam Bagenstos, who was a senior staffer at what it now Robert Kennedy Jr.'s Department of Health and Human Services, the Project 2025-driven office of Management and Budget, and the probably-soon-to-be shuttered Department of Justice Office of Civil Rights. Sam Bagenstos — Frank G. Millard Professor of Law, University of Michigan Bagenstos took an extended leave from U. of M. to serve in multiple roles in the Biden administration, with senior positions in HHS, the Federal Budget Office and Department of Justice. From June 2022 to December 2024, he was general counsel to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), where he played a key role in advancing and implementing policies across the department, including: pursuing several initiatives on abortion and reproductive rights; crafting and defending the first-ever Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program; drafting and issuing major rules on civil rights, health privacy, Medicare and Medicaid, drug advertising, the regulation of “lab-developed” medical tests and food safety, the treatment of unaccompanied migrant children in HHS care, the treatment of LGBTQ+ kids in the foster care system, and many other issues; advancing marijuana rescheduling, and advising and defending the Food and Drug Administration's tobacco enforcement program; and working with the Department of Justice on litigation involving HHS, including significant abortion rights, free speech, and tobacco regulation cases in the US Supreme Court. From Inauguration Day 2021 to June 2022, he served as general counsel to the Office of Management and Budget. There, he worked on President Biden's Day One executive orders; helped respond to COVID-19, including implementing several crucial aid programs; responded to regulations adopted by the prior administration just before the inauguration and helped advance the new administration's regulations on labor, health, the environment, and much else; helped craft and implement the American Rescue Plan, the bipartisan infrastructure law, and what became the Inflation Reduction Act; and assisted in developing two annual budgets, along with advising the entire Executive Branch on issues of appropriations law and administrative law. In an earlier stint on leave from the Law School, from 2009 to 2011, Bagenstos was an appointee in the US Department of Justice, where he served as the principal deputy assistant attorney general for civil rights, the No. 2 official in the Civil Rights Division. There, he helped promulgate the 2010 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) regulations—the first comprehensive update of those regulations since they were first issued in 1991—and led the reinvigoration of the Civil Rights Division's enforcement of the US Supreme Court's deci...

On this episode of the podcast, Veteran Pollster John McLaughlin breaks down the latest numbers showing President Donald Trump's approval rating surging to 53%, a 10-point jump since 2017. McLaughlin dives into key findings from a January survey that reveals 57% support of Trump's policies and a solid 44% backing both his policies and personality. Meanwhile Biden faced tough numbers, with only 40% favorability and 56% unfavorable ratings. Furthermore, while the use of tariffs on China continue to gain popularity with the public, McLaughlin highlights Trump's policy successes such as tax cuts, no tax on tips, and immigration. At the end of the day there is overwhelming public support (86 - 8%) for deporting criminal illegal immigrants.If you want to continue following the great work and commentary of John McLaughlin, feel free to follow him on X (formerly Twitter): @Jmclghln.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they delve into the latest government funding battle, troubling revelations about how the Biden administration tried to hide the president's condition, and Donald Trump's lawsuit over a controversial Iowa poll.First, they analyze the chaotic developments surrounding government funding. While they're relieved a bloated spending bill was blocked, they question why Speaker Mike Johnson allowed it to get so bad and become public so late in the process. They also highlight why hurricane relief deserved its own bill months ago, the potential consequences of a Christmas-season government shutdown, and how these issues might shape the upcoming Speaker of the House election.Next, they react to a Wall Street Journal report exposing efforts by the Biden White House to conceal the president's declining faculties from cabinet members, lawmakers, and you. Despite their attempts,Jim and Greg argue Biden's struggles remained glaringly evident to observers.Finally, they break down Trump's lawsuit against Iowa pollster Ann Selzer. Trump is accusing her of fraud over a late poll showing Kamala Harris ahead by three points in Iowa—a result sharply at odds with Trump's 13-point victory in the state.Please visit our great sponsors:Omaha Steakshttps://omahasteaks.comSave 50% off sitewide during the Christmas gift buying season and be sure to use promo code THREE ML for an extra $30 off.  Zbioticshttps://zbiotics.com/3MLUse code 3ML at checkout to save 15% off your first order.

He's seeking damages and wants the paper barred from publishing “deceptive” polls. Trump also said he plans to pursue more legal action against media outlets and social media influencers for defamation. Meanwhile, a judge denied Trump's request to overturn his guilty verdict in the New York hush money case, ruling the charges don't qualify for presidential immunity. President Biden threw his support behind banning congressional stock trading, but no action is likely anytime soon. Over in Congress, Rep. Gerry Connolly beat AOC in a vote for ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, a win backed by Nancy Pelosi. In New York, Luigi Mangione was indicted on first-degree murder and terrorism charges for what prosecutors say was a planned and targeted killing. If convicted, he could face life in prison without parole. Lastly, police identified the shooter at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin, as a 15-year-old female student. Investigators believe the attack was indiscriminate and driven by “a combination of factors.” Resources/Articles mentioned in this episode: CNN: Trump sues Des Moines Register and top pollster over final Iowa survey  Axios: Trump ramps up legal threats against news outlets ​​ ​​ Axios: Judge rejects Trump's request to overturn hush money conviction AP News: Joe Biden calls for ban on congressional stock trading Axios: AOC defeated by Connolly in battle for Oversight role WA Post: UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting suspect indicted on murder charges  AP News: Police chief says motive for Wisconsin school shooting was a 'combination of factors' Morning Announcements is produced by Sami Sage alongside Bridget Schwartz and edited by Grace Hernandez-Johnson Learn more about your ad choices.

This election was peculiar — for almost the whole election, pollsters fluffed polls for Biden and Harris. In the 4th quarter with a minute left to go, pollsters came out realization they were lying to everyone and most pollsters decided to put out some honest polls they showed Trump winning.
