Why are young Americans turning toward socialism? A recent survey from Rasmussen Reports reveals a striking generational divide: younger Americans are far more likely than older voters to view socialism favorably.
A recent Rasmussen Reports survey indicates that FBI Director Kash Patel’s popularity is declining. Only 40% of likely U.S. voters view Patel favorably. Even more revealing, just 32% believe he is performing better than most previous FBI directors, while 37% think he is doing worse.
As President Donald Trump begins the second year of his second term, recent polls show a nuanced but not discouraging view of his political support. While the figures don't indicate a dramatic rise in popularity, they provide a solid basis for cautious optimism about Republican chances in the 2026 midterms.
Recent polling shows a widening gap between corporate media narratives and American voters' opinions, especially on immigration enforcement and its political ramifications.
A recent Rasmussen Reports national survey shows that Christmas has once again regained its status as America’s most important holiday, with 55% of American adults saying it’s among the nation’s top celebrations and another 30% placing it “somewhere in between.”
Survey results released last week are as stark as they are unsurprising. According to Rasmussen Reports, 80% of likely U.S. voters say the federal government is corrupt, and 44% declare it “very corrupt.” Only 14% believe corruption in Washington is minimal. How many of the 14% are employed by or benefit from this corruption?
Young Americans are living in a micro-world of rising costs, precarious jobs, and deferred dreams. At the same time, the political class continues to speak in macro-terms of grand strategy and ideological crusades.
A recent Rasmussen Reports survey found that 67% of likely voters support ending so-called “corporate welfare,” with only 17% opposed. The idea sounds simple enough – stop giving handouts to big business. But corporations aren’t Ritchie Rich or the Monopoly guy with the top hat.
A new Rasmussen Reports survey reveals an unsettling reality: nearly one-third of American adults say someone they know died of COVID-19 while hospitalized, and almost half believe hospital treatment protocols likely contributed to that death.
President Trump’s blunt assessment of the United Nations during his September 23 address wasn’t just political theater. It reflected the growing frustration many Americans feel toward a bloated, ineffective, and increasingly hostile international organization.
When Donald Trump raises a public health concern, the political reaction often focuses more on him than on the science. If Trump declared that drinking gasoline was dangerous, you can bet a TikTok brigade of Trump-hating liberals would be chugging unleaded gas on camera to “own the Orange Man.”
A series of polls conducted after Charlie Kirk’s assassination reveal a sobering truth. Most Americans now believe that the way our leaders and pundits discuss politics is not only divisive but also genuinely dangerous.
Rasmussen Report’s new survey of voters under 40 paints a stark picture. Most believe the economy is unfair to them, and a majority would even support a law to confiscate Americans’ “excess wealth” (second homes, luxury cars, boats) to help young people buy a first home. Fifty-five percent endorse that idea, but just 38% oppose it. Only 29% of individuals under 40 are homeowners, and many feel “stuck,” lonely, or in crisis.
A new Rasmussen Reports survey reveals that 40% of Americans now believe the minimum wage should be at least $15 an hour, up from 36% a year ago. That’s a strong sentiment. After all, who doesn’t want working Americans to earn more? But compassion and sound economics are two very different things.
One of the keys to President Donald Trump’s political success is his unpredictability. He keeps both domestic opponents and foreign adversaries off balance by refusing to follow the well-worn playbook of his presidential predecessors.

As we lit sparklers and grilled burgers this Fourth of July, a new Rasmussen Reports poll provided a sobering dose of reality. Only 36% of Americans believe the Founding Fathers would see today’s America as a success. Forty-one percent (41%) think they’d view it as a failure, and the rest aren’t sure.
Four years ago, we experienced “The Summer of Love,” specifically protests and riots honoring Saint George Floyd. Civil unrest erupted in 140 cities across 20 states, resulting in over $2 billion in insured losses, with the actual toll likely much higher.
The Marine Hymn is one of the most recognized songs and serves as the oldest service hymn in America. Its opening line honors the famous battles of the U.S. Marines, from Montezuma to Tripoli.
