Opponents of the Dakota Access Pipeline, set to run oil from the Dakotas to Illinois, got the project temporarily shut down last week. Tribal nations and green groups argue that the pipeline will destroy cultural and environmental sites, but voters believe it’s entirely possible to build a pipeline like this without doing that kind of damage.
Former President George H.W. Bush who along with the rest of his family boycotted July's Republican National Convention was outed on social media this week as planning to vote for Hillary Clinton. Bush has not confirmed his vote to the media, but his reported decision has little impact on voters, especially his fellow Republicans.
It’s hard to remember a time when the debates were so critical to the outcome of a presidential election.
California is seeking an Obamacare waiver from the federal government so that illegal immigrants can buy health insurance through the state’s health care exchange. But most voters don’t support a similar effort where they live.
Voters strongly oppose President Obama’s plan to bring 110,000 Middle Eastern and African refugees to this country next year, up from 85,000 this year, and view that decision as an increased danger to U.S. national security.
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have both proposed taxpayer-paid maternity leave for women whose employers don’t pay them for their time off, and most voters like the idea.
Citing financial losses, several major health insurers have announced plans to back out of the state exchanges set up under President Obama’s national health care law, leaving many Americans with fewer insurance options and higher rates. More than ever say they or an immediate family member has gotten coverage through the exchanges, but voters don’t think taxpayers should help offset any jump in rates they may experience because of the exit of these companies.
With less than two months remaining until the 2016 elections, it sounds like most voters won’t be listening to their heart when casting their ballot.
Suppose the unthinkable took place, and Hillary Clinton was forced for health reasons to step down as the Democratic presidential nominee. Who do Democrats think should take her place?
Concern about North Korea is on the rise following the communist regime's latest nuclear tests.
The Obama administration has expressed alarm about dangers to our election system from foreign hackers, and online voting is seen as perhaps the most vulnerable to attack. Most voters still don’t like the idea of voting via the internet and think it’s easier to corrupt than other voting methods.
Two-out-of-three Americans view political correctness as a threat and say they don't have freedom of speech anymore.
Democrats aren’t worried about Hillary Clinton’s health, but most other voters feel she may not be physically up to the job.
Despite continued poor ratings for Congress’ performance, voters are slightly less in favor of voting to get rid of the entire Congress and aren’t quite convinced they’ll vote for someone other than an incumbent this November.
An overwhelming majority of voters continues to believe politicians don’t keep their campaign promises and are even more convinced it’s because they’ll say whatever it takes to get elected.
While Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is still making efforts to win over the support of Evangelical Christian voters, the percentage of all voters who consider a candidate’s faith important to their vote continues to decline.Voters put even less stock into a candidate’s appearance or racial background.
Americans continue to question the country’s safety from terrorism and are skeptical of the government’s ability to prevent domestic terror attacks in the future.
Sunday marks the 15th anniversary of the Islamic terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 that killed 3,000 Americans and injured another 6,000. But a sizable number of Americans feel their fellow countrymen have forgotten the horrors of that day. Interestingly, more are saying Muslims in this country have been mistreated ever since, even as they fear a domestic terror attack more than ever.
As with virtually every major issue we survey on these days, political party affiliation determines a voter’s views about America’s relationship with the rest of the world. Democrats think it’s great; Republicans and unaffiliated voters are a lot more skeptical.
Despite the increasing alarm expressed by the Obama administration over dangers to the election system from foreign hackers, voters are confident that things will work out fine.
