The National Rifle Association (NRA) tells Breitbart News that Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has an “inability to tell the truth” regarding the fact that Americans reject gun control.

After a week of polls showing the American people reacted to the Umpqua Community College (UCC) shooting with stronger support for gun rights than gun control, a Washington Post-ABC News poll released October 26 shows that an overwhelming majority of Americans also believe Congressional focus ought to be on fixing our mental health system instead of talking about more gun laws.

A Gallup poll released on October 20 shows that a majority of Americans believe more concealed carry equals less crime.

Gallup’s latest poll finds the much-demonized National Rifle Association with far higher approval ratings than two of its most prominent assailants: President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. The NRA had a 58 percent approval rating, far higher than Obama’s 45 percent or Clinton’s 41 percent.

On October 21, the Washington Post reported their estimate that the number of guns owned in America has doubled in the last 20 years.

As the 2016 race for president begins, the Gallup polling agency has found that the Democrat Party of 2015 is much farther to the left than that of the year 2008.

Gallup reports that while a majority of Americans, 52 percent, still say they have “a great deal” or “quite a lot”of confidence in the police, that level is the lowest the poll has seen since 1993. Gallup attributed the decline in confidence to recent police actions in cities such as Ferguson, Missouri, Staten Island, New York, and North Charleston, South Carolina where black men were killed by white police officers.

Gallup explains its poll results in terms of an “improving U.S. job market,” at a time when a record 93,194,000 Americans were not in the labor force in April, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). In addition, though Gallup shows a 3.5 percent decrease in the percentage of blacks struggling to afford food, data released Friday by the BLS shows that the unemployment rate for African Americans was nearly twice the national average, and more than double the unemployment rate for whites last month.

A new poll from the Levada Center think tank shows that 59% of Russians believe America is a real threat to the sovereignty of Russia. The results come after a friendly meeting between Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian President Vladimir Putin with Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

A new Gallup poll reveals that Americans think the biggest problem facing the country is not terrorism, healthcare, race relations, or immigration – it’s the federal government.

The unemployment rate is up. But there are more jobs. Is that good or bad? It’s complicated, and that shows how misleading media coverage of the monthly unemployment rate number has become.

The much touted “unemployment rate” is a false measure of prosperity. Especially since those on the left seem to be targeting, rather than building up, the Middle Class.

Jim Clifton, the Chairman and CEO at Gallup, has acknowledged the dirty little secret that the Obama administration and their media lapdogs assiduously attempt to hide: the official unemployment rate reported by the U.S. Department of Labor does not accurately reflect the grim reality of American unemployment.

According to a Gallup poll released on Thursday, demographic shifts in age may favor Republicans over time.

While Americans are generally more satisfied with their quality of life ahead of the State of the Union his year than they were last year, Americans’ outlook on race relations have taken a nose dive, according to a new poll. A mere 30 percent of Americans polled expressed satisfaction with the state of race relations, down 25 percentage points from 2014, when 55 percent said they were satisfied.

A new Gallup poll finds that Americans’ satisfaction with race relations have plunged 21-points since 2008.

In a stunning Tuesday report, Gallup CEO and Chairman Jim Clifton revealed that “for the first time in 35 years, American business deaths now outnumber business births.”

A record percentage of Americans (42%) identified as political independents in 2013, according to Gallup. The percentage is “the highest Gallup has measured since it began conducting interviews by telephone 25 years ago,” and it has “come more at the

President Barack Obama’s approval rating has hit 48 percent as 2014 came to a close. Just after the November election, Obama’s approval rating began to surge. Much of his signature polices were funded in the “CRomnibus,” including executive amnesty and Obamacare, which was passed with bipartisan support.

A substantial majority of Americans believe in life after death, according to a new study by the Austin Institute for the Study of Family and Culture.

As former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton prepares her expected campaign for president, a new Gallup poll has good news for her: she is the “most admired woman” in America.

A Gallup Poll has Barack Obama with a 43 percent approval rating for December after six years in office, putting him well below where Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan were at this point.
