by John Zogby, featured on Daily News I’m a big fan of the Iowa caucuses.

I will begin by restating what I have said many times: trust the polls not the pundits. It is getting to be a real problem believing the talking heads on television who are all now warriors in the Trump-Anti-Trump camp. Just as in the closing days of the 2016 campaign, there were plenty of folks…

On November 8, 2016, Hillary Clinton won the national popular vote and Donald Trump won the Presidency. Today, five months later, no one is winning anything at all. A new Washington Post/ABC News Poll shows that President Trump has the lowest approval rating of any President ever in the first 100 Days in office –…

While most ‘experts’ were cleaning egg off their faces, John Zogbycemented his credibility as the real McCoy. He did not throw in the towel for Trump, recognizing that the race was much closer than conventional wisdom let on. His biography at The Huffington Post describes him as the”former president and CEO of Zogby International, remains by all…
Here is what we know about Donald Trump with less than 70 days into his Presidency. He can spin some stories to take credit for keeping US jobs in this country, notably his tough-talking to US companies like Carrier and Ford. He can also spin a stock market boom into a Trump Bump. Good for…
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton may have won the popular vote last November but she failed to win the Electoral College. Even worse, the Democrats failed to pick up a majority in the Senate, gained only a couple of seats in the House, and lost ground in the governors’ mansions and state legislatures. This…
Enough is enough. Both venerable political parties are on the road to self-immolation by enabling our politics of division demographically, ideologically, and regionally. And it simply is not working. Voter turnout in 2016 actually declined, especially among younger voters, and the splits within both parties render them almost useless as problem solvers and policymakers. It…
I have always tried to be fair in these posts and somewhat unpredictable. At the very least, my aim is to cut through ideology (including my own) and interpret facts on the ground in a sensible way. But I am having a very difficult time with President Donald Trump’s executive orders placing a hold on…

Imagine going into an election with a popular President, low unemployment, the fewest casualties in foreign wars in years, and both demographics and recent Electoral College history on your side – and still losing. Imagine blaming it on the Russians. Understandable if you are John Podesta – but did the Russians keep Wisconsin Millennials from…
It does not matter whether I agree with all, some, or any of President Donald Trump’s Inaugural Address. It was simply a great speech. It will be memorable because it was revolutionary. It was so different and consistent with his campaign. He has defined a new role for the government, for the public, for patriotism,…
The Trump Era Begins The world has turned upside down. How you feel about the ascendancy of Donald Trump to the Presidency depends on whether you were already standing right side up or were already upside down. There is so much happening all at once that it is dizzying for long time observers, so I…
I will admit that I am a fan and a critic of both Woodrow Wilson and Barack Obama. But I will also tell you that both will be remembered as great American Presidents. Mr. Wilson is already in the Top Ten in mostly every poll of American historians – just below names like Lincoln, Washington,…
I am going to be as honest with readers as I am to people who come up to me in person. I honestly don’t know what to make of Donald Trump as President. There are clearly hints as to the broad direction he wishes to take on certain policies, but so much of these hints…
After heady decades of being the world’s beacon of self-governance, human rights, and freedom, our wonderful country seems to have lost its way. During and after the Cold War, we not only provided a role model for burgeoning democracies, we actively engaged in training newly formed political parties in developing countries on how to organize…

I have had a chance to comb through the exit polls from November 8. I have already written about the Democrats’ dismal day, especially the performance of Hillary Clinton. But I want to now take a look at something that did not happen. Despite the fact that the President and First Lady could not translate…
Some of the best known talking heads fell on their faces all through the election, including Election Night. How could Donald Trump be winning when the polls showed beyond a reasonable doubt that Hillary Clinton was marching nonstop to the White House? First, the polls were not so bad after all. Aside from the usual…
Time for some straight talk. This election was not a repudiation of the status quo or a rejection of Barack Obama’s “third term”. On the contrary, of those 140 million voters yesterday, 54% gave President Obama a positive job approval rating and more (31%) said they were doing better financially than said they were doing…
I am live from Washington, DC where I think I am the only cautious voice around. Whether it is from the aggregators, the odds-makers, the soothsayers with their laptops full of data, or the reporters, all I am hearing about is a easy victory for Hillary Clinton tonight. The nationwide polls, for the most part,…
Exactly four year years ago to the day, I wrote a column for Forbes entitled, “What If It Isn’t Close After All?” My topic was about the 2012 election and the break toward President Obama that my polls and those of other pollsters were showing. As you recall, that election was a close one and…
I am going to cut the suspense and flat out answer the question. Sometimes winning is worse. As for example, this presidential election. Let’s start with Hillary Clinton. Her campaign theme is “Stronger Together” but her campaign shows that she still has 60% of the voters who have an unfavorable opinion of her (2 points…
FBI Director James Comey’s decision to notify Congressional leaders of the reopening of the Hillary Clinton email investigation is a huge story and could prove to be the October surprise folks have been wondering about. Of course, it might turn out to be something that fizzles out or it could even be overshadowed by another…
There are lots of political polls out there this year and there seems to be something for everyone. Hillary Clinton’s team seizes every opportunity to taut the polls – almost all of which show her leading nationally and in key battleground states – as proof of an inevitable victory, possibly even a large mandate to…
Both candidates came out in full force tonight. This was clearly the best debate of the three. There was substance, thanks to moderator Chris Wallace, and discipline. While I and a lot of other people expected Donald Trump to slash and burn tonight and throw everything at Hillary Clinton, the format just didn’t allow too…
With only about three weeks to go before our long national nightmare is over, Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump by an average of about 5 points in the major national polls. The last five polls that have been published have something for everyone to hang on to: NBC/Wall Street Journal shows Clinton with an 11…
In Sunday night’s debate, Donald Trump entered as a universally recognized dead candidate. How could anyone survive such self-inflicted wounds? He was coming off of a terrible debate performance focused more on defending how wealthy he really was rather than expounding on pressing issues. His performance featured a gratuitously stupid challenge to a former Miss Universe. And…
The two seasoned warriors came out tonight to mix it up. Both showed they were ready to serve as either President or Vice-President. Tim Kaine has served in government at “all levels” and Mike Pence has successfully governed his state. Their philosophical differences were clear and Americans have a choice. Kaine came right out punching…
In the election of 2016, the candidates for President are: Republican, The Emperor Nero of Rome, narcissistic, extravagant, and tyrannical. He felt the burn almost 2000 years ago. Democrat, Catherine de Medici of Florence but Queen of France. Competent, respected by many, hated by most. Libertarian Dr. Timothy Leary, a famed toker, splits his residence…
Yes, Hillary Clinton beat the dragon the other night. She won on points and brought her game. Trump started out very strong but was overwhelmed about half way through and fizzled. He did not implode but maybe if the debate had gone on five minutes longer… As I wrote late Monday night after the debate,…
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump came out swinging right away tonight. There were no knockout punches but each landed some good ones against the other. I think each did well with their own constituencies and emerged tonight as a plausible next President. I believe Clinton won the debate on points – clearly better prepared to…
Like beauty, pornography, and soul, it is hard to define authenticity. As Supreme Court Justice Byron White noted, “you just know it when you see it”. But it is the sine qua non for any successful presidential candidate. Americans demand a President they can relate to and, even more importantly, one who can relate to…
I have been polling professionally for 32 years now and I have been engaged in the day-to-day polling of Presidential races since 1992. That is a very long time but one thing has not changed: the annoying media coverage of every minute of every day of every campaign. It is the moral equivalent of the…
Here is a polling question for history fans: If the election were held today and the candidates were Republican Nero, Democrat Catherine de Medici, and Libertarian Timothy Leary, for whom would you? An impossible match up but, in some ways, a real one. None of these are credible or beloved characters from history – at…
I am not a physician nor do I play one on TV. But I have had “Walking Pneumonia” four times in my life – in 1982, 1983, 1984 and 1986. (Since that time a powerful pneumonia shot has been developed, generally good for ten years or so, and I have been blessed). But my point…
As I write this column, the presidential race is pretty much tied. Both candidates are stuck somewhere between the high 30s and low forties in national polls and, contrary to the views of some pundits, the states do not produce a clear winner just yet either. Yes, indeed, Hillary Clinton now “leads” in several battleground…
Tuesday, August 30, was a very big day for the Establishment in both political parties. Four hotly contested races left the insurgencies in both parties reeling as well-known, experienced, well-financed candidates drubbed their opponents. In Florida, Senator Marco Rubio easily defeated a challenge from homebuilder Carlos Beruff who sank more than $8 million of his…

The post convention bounces are over. At least for a few days so is the Donald Trump self-inflicted implosion phase of the campaign. Although, it has only been exactly three days since his new campaign manager has entered the fray and enforced some discipline and some common sense talk on the Donald. So we will…
As campaigns go, Donald Trump had a terrible week. A miserable one, to be sure. I remember George McGovern trying to recover from the news of his running mate Tom Eagleton being treated for severe depression, then having to explain a claim that every American would get $1,000 from the federal government. McGovern was always…
Just because you’re paranoid, the old saying goes, does not mean that people are not against you. That must be how Bernie Sanders feels today as Wikileaks provided validation of just how the Democratic National Committee was indeed colluding against his candidacy – something he had been saying right along. Okay, so party leaders have…
As I am posting this on Forbes, word is out that former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg will endorse Hillary Clinton for President very soon. Under normal circumstances, this would be very significant for the former Secretary of State. Clinton is about to be nominated but is in a very tight race with Donald…
Seven in ten voters say that things in the United States are headed in the wrong direction. Even though President Barack Obama is posting some of the best approval numbers of his presidency, there is a strong undertone of disaffection. I think it is attributed to a genuine sense of anxiety by a forgotten middle…
Even though not every convention speaker has invoked the name of Donald Trump in Cleveland this week, there is no question that the week is all about him. Actually, every week during the past year has been about him. He has run against the Republican Party establishment and laid bare just how hopelessly divided the…
I feel a mix of emotions after watching President Barack Obama deliver yet another powerful eulogy for victims of senseless violence. This was once again the President who wrote about the “audacity of hope” before he became President. Yet this was a wistful President who has recognized the limitations of his own words, who achieved…
FBI Director James Comey said it best today when he declared that no respectable prosecutor would have filed criminal charges against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for allegedly mishandling classified and/or sensitive emails from her private server. To me the real issue was never about illegality. From the beginning the actual message that emerged…
Pollster and author John Zogby announced today the publication of his fourth book, We Are Many, We Are One: Neo-Tribes and Tribal Analytics in 21st Century America. The book is self-published, as was his 2013 book First Globals: Understanding, Managing, and Unleashing the Potential of Our Millennial Generation. “In addition to generating a lot interest…
The recent United Kingdom vote has the world spinning. The Brexit voters themselves likely saw their vote as the last opportunity to take back control of their nation from economic elites and place it in the control of an angry middle class devastated by the “new world order”. The June 23, 2016 vote is a…
Odds are strong that Hillary Clinton will be the 45th President of the United States. Odds were even stronger that voters in the United Kingdom would choose to stay in the European Union. The Brexit vote this past week was not even close and once again this year the pundits and elites have been dead…
2016 was a particularly brutal primary season for both the Democrats and Republicans. Few expected Bernie Sanders to get as far as he did and now his folks are playing a major role making the party’s rules and platform. Donald Trump knocked off 16 would-be challengers to win a huge majority of delegates and wear…
So Speaker Paul Ryan still endorses GOP presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump only 48 hours after condemning Trump for his dumb remark about the “Mexican” judge who his presiding over a lawsuit against him. Ryan is a good man and always looks like he is sitting on a powder keg. The reason is simple: he…
I know that third parties have never done particularly well in our Presidential elections. Former President Theodore Roosevelt won 27% of the vote in 1912 and received 88 electoral votes. In 1968, George Wallace received 13% of the vote and won 45 southern state electoral votes.And Ross Perot, after leading in early 1992 then dropping out…
It is a story worth repeating. In 1992, then Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton codemned a little known African American hip hop singer, Sister Souljah, for her violent lyrics and message of hopelessness. It is fair to say that most people, including African Americans, had never even heard of the young women but the moment was…
Add Paul Ryan to the list of Republicans refusing to jump on the Donald Trump bandwagon. Today the Speaker of the House said he was “not ready” to endorse the GOP’s presumptive presidential nominee. He “would like to” but Ryan needed to see more. Trump, of course, shot back. He’s not ready to “support Ryan’s…
Like a lot of other folks I have spent the past few months saying that I have never heard of (let alone experienced) anything quite like the presidential campaign of 2016. Setting aside the powerful insurgency of a 74 year old socialist in the Democratic primaries, the “ain’t never been here before” reference is all…
I have lived my entire life in Upstate New York and it still amazes me how much of a mystery the region is to those who live outside the state. The best way to understand who will vote in the Republican Primary on April 19 is to get out a map of the Empire State…
