Townhall – Iowa Is Not a Battleground – But It’s Always a Game Changer

Iowa is enjoying the perennial political limelight as it hosts the first true contest in the GOP presidential primary. Not surprisingly, leftists have taken to deriding this largely white, agrarian, “fly-over state” as purely symbolic of the GOP’s primary race to nominate someone they’ll end up painting as extreme anyway. While Iowa is not a battleground state under this new political landscape, its place as the first-in-the-nation in a major political party primary is incredibly important to not just tradition but setting the tone for the rest of the primary.

Townhall – These Five States and 50,000 Voters Will Decide America’s Future

With less than a year from the close of the 2024 presidential election, most people think the political landscape could not be more uncertain. Will Trump secure the GOP nomination? Will Biden remain on the Democratic ticket? Will Robert F. Kennedy Jr. get his name on the ballot in all states, or at least those that matter? Will No Labels field a unity ticket?

Townhall – Poll Offers What Could Be Valuable Lesson for Republicans on Abortion in 2024

Abortion has been something of a messy issue for Republicans since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade with last year’s Dobbs v. Jackson decision.

POLL: NEW 3RD PLACE IN GOP PRESIDENTIAL RACE, TITLE 42 FINDINGS, AND SHIFT IN TOP ISSUES 

WASHINGTON D.C. – The latest national likely voter poll from Cygnal – the nation's most accurate private polling firm – shows President Biden's image continues to be deeply underwater as his re-election campaign gets underway.

With the Biden administration recently terminating Title 42, Biden’s favorability will likely take even more of a hit as a clear majority (52%) of Americans supported extending Title 42.
