Virginia Republicans Prefer Wacky Trumpist, Amanda Chase for Governor in New Poll
Virginia will elect a new Governor this year and the state may provide an early indication of Donald Trump's hold on the GOP. A new poll released this week by Christopher Newport University found that a Trump acolyte, State Sen. Amanda Chase, leads in the race for the Republican nomination for Virginia's highest office. Many Virginians remain undecided, but Chase leads with 17% while 10% back former Virginia House Speaker Kirk Cox and 6% support businessman Pete Snyder. Wealt

Joe Biden & the Politics of Calm, Mature Deliberation
Joe Biden's approval rating seems to increase weekly as Americans are finding that they like to wake each morning to a President that isn't tweeting out insane conspiracy theories or stoking racial or ethnic tensions. No more lies about antifa activists pillaging the suburbs or climate scientists plotting the overthrow of capitalism. We are slowly returning to normal. Yes, we still have many challenges, but our new President seems to be approaching them with calm deliberation

Trump Leaves With Historically Low Approval Rating, But 1/3 Still Love Him Despite Scandals
The good news is that Donald Trump's involvement in the attack on the Capital and his tiresome lies about the election have finally eroded his base somewhat. The bad news is that despite all that, his second impeachment, and his chaotic and incompetent response to the pandemic, about one-third of Americans still support the outgoing President. Trump will depart for Florida on Wednesday with an approval rating of 29%, the lowest of his presidency, according to a new poll from

Biden Still Holds a Large Lead Nationally, But Expect Some Tightening Over the Last 2 Weeks
Historically, presidential races tend to tighten during the last two weeks before an election as voters solidify their choices. In many respects this isn't a normal election year, but I expect to see Joe Biden's current 8-9 point lead nationally shrink to about 5-6 points by November 3rd. The electorate in America is very evenly divided between the GOP and Democrats, and some Republicans will put aside their distaste for Donald Trump to support their party. However, there is

Proof Women are Smarter? Race Tied Among Men But Biden Leads by 23 Points With Women
The new ABC News/ Washington Post poll was released today and Joe Biden's lead has increased to 12 points among likely voters. ABC provided a bit more detail by breaking their sample down demographically to show one of the largest gender gaps in the history of presidential polling. Biden: 54% (+12) Trump: 42% Among men Biden: 48% Trump: 48% Among women Biden: 59% (+23) Trump: 36% Which brings to mind a quote by the author Nelson DeMille. Basically, all women are nurturers and

New Polling Shows Most Scots Want to Leave the UK Over Brexit & Johnson's Botched Covid-19 Response
Recent polling shows that a majority of Scots favor independence, with the most recent "Panelbase" poll finding that 54% would vote to leave the United Kingdom with only 46% opposed. Support for independence has been building slowly since the UK voted to leave the European Union which most Scots opposed. Scots are also fed-up with Prime Minister Boris Johnson's mishandling of the Covid-19 crisis. The last vote on Scottish independence in 2014 failed when 55% voted to stay, bu
