GOP’s Lead in Bid to Recapture Congress Widens According to Rassmussen

By ,

It seems as though the US Congress is moving towards the GOP in the most recent Rasmussen polling.

According to their latest poll, the 2022 midterm elections are now just 11 days away, and Republicans have a seven-point lead in their bid to recapture control of Congress.

If the elections for Congress were held today, 49% of Likely U.S. Voters would vote for the Republican candidate, while 42% would vote for the Democrat. Just four percent (4%) would vote for some other candidate, but another five percent (5%) are not sure.

The GOP lead has increased by three points from last week when they led 47% to 43%. Republicans have led the Generic Congressional Ballot all year, although their lead has narrowed since mid-July when they led by as much as 10 points.

n October 2018, before voters handed Democrats their first House majority in eight years, Democrats held a three-point advantage (47% to 44%) in the generic ballot question. The margin was still a statistical dead heat – Republicans 46%, Democrats 45% – in the final poll before Democrats won a slim House majority while Republicans gained Senate seats to maintain control of that chamber.

The results of the polling are shown below:

 

New Rasmussen Shows Majority Want Biden Impeached, Including Third of Democrats Polled

By ,

A new poll from Rasmussen shows that a majority of voters believe President Joe Biden should be impeached.

The poll shows that not only did majorities of Republican and Independent voters poll in favor of a hypothetical Biden impeachment, but a third of Democrat voters would like to see the President out as well. 

Townhall reports:

President Joe Biden has embarrassed the U.S. countless times, including making his own party want to crawl under a rock every time he speaks in front of a group of reporters.

According to a new Rasmussen Reports survey, Republican and Independent voters overwhelmingly agree that Biden should be impeached, along with a third of Democrats.

Overall, 52 percent of likely U.S. voters say they would support the impeachment of Biden, with 38 percent saying they would strongly support it.

The poll margin includes 77 percent of Republicans, 50 percent of Independents and 32 percent of Democrats who would like to see the current president get booted from his position.

However, less than half of voters believe that Republicans will actually take action to impeach Biden.

47 percent believe it is likely the GOP will attempt to impeach the president, while 43 percent don’t see it happening in his first term.

“Support for impeaching Biden is highest among voters 40-64, who are also most likely to think that if Republicans win in the midterms, they actually will impeach the president. Retirees are least supportive of impeaching Biden,” the poll concluded.

Recent Polling Shows Majority of Democrats Now Want SCOTUS Abolished

By ,

Democrats, who remain largely unaware of the great victory the Supreme Court has secured against the EPA, are in a tizzy over the Roe v Wade overturn. A recent poll shows that a majority of Democrats have an “unfavorable opinion” of the highest court in the land and believe that it should be abolished.

The poll was conducted by Rasmussen:

According to the report:

A new national telephone and online survey by Rasmussen Reports and the Heartland Institute finds that 52% of Likely U.S. voters view the Supreme Court favorably, including 29% who have a Very Favorable opinion of the court. Forty-three percent (43%) view the Supreme Court unfavorably, including 25% with a Very Unfavorable opinion. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

In the wake of a recent string of decisions strengthening the Second Amendment, reining in the power of the Environmental Protection Agency, and ending the constitutional right to an abortion, however, Democratic voters mostly disapprove of the Supreme Court. Only 33% of Democrats view the court favorably, while 63% have an unfavorable opinion of the court, including 40% of Democrats who have a Very Unfavorable view of the Supreme Court. By contrast, 72% of Republicans and 52% of independent voters have a favorable opinion of the court.

A majority of Democrats view the Supreme Court as racist and discriminatory against women, and favor either “packing” the court by adding extra justices or replacing the existing court with democratically elected justices.

Democrats also seem to believe that the court is racist despite having 2 people of color sitting as justices.

In a nutshell, the far-left Democrats are livid that the court changed under President Trump and has more conservatives that don’t make decisions politically but make their decisions based on the law.

A Rasmussen Reports poll conducted on Tuesday shows found “40% of likely US voters believe that mental health is more to blame for mass shootings by young men in America,”.

The same poll found that 30% blame “access to firearms”, 10% believe family problems are the cause and another 10% blame social media, though arguably both of those answers could fall under the “mental health” umbrella.

A meager 4% believe Schools are to blame.

The national survey of 1,000 people was conducted May 25-26. The poll has a margin of sampling error of +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% confidence level.

After two recent mass shootings, one at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, and another at an elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, the issues surrounding gun control and school security have become the center of national discourse.
