By Dave Andrusko We (or at least I do) tend to focus most of our attention on the unmitigated pro-abortion outpourings from national media outlets, particularly their polling. You’d think it would be hard to compete with the likes of the New York Times and the Washington Post and three major television networks. But the …

By Dave Andrusko Elsewhere today we write about a stupendously obvious conclusion reached by Pew Research: that “Americans far more likely to say evangelicals will lose influence, rather than gain it, under Biden.”  Why wouldn’t they—lose influence that is– and the public correctly anticipate that a resolutely pro-abortion administration would not warmly embrace them? After …

By Dave Andrusko Editor’s note. This story from a year ago in NRL News Today is symptomatic of what happens when rabidly pro-abortion newspapers forgo even a pretense of objectivity when discussing pro-life officeholders. I’ll do my best not to show even a tenth of how annoyed I am by two findings in particular from …

“Three quarters of Americans, including a majority who identify as prochoice, want significant restrictions on abortion.” WASHINGTON – Each January, the Knights of Columbus (KOC) release their annual poll on Americans’ opinions on abortion. They did so today, and the results are not only very encouraging, the poll probes areas no other survey takes the …

By Nicholas Fondacaro NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt said it best Wednesday evening when leading to a report about how wrong the polls were in the run-up to the election. “Now, whatever the outcome, one of the important takeaways from this election, the polling was once again off, underestimating the strength of Donald Trump,” he …

By Dave Andrusko As part of a larger pro-abortion effort to derail the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett, we read story after story purporting to tell us what huge grassroots support there is for abortion. Here’s the latest which appeared (to no one’s surprise) in the New York Times. Let’s dig in, …

By Dave Andrusko A heads-up for our readers. The September edition of National Right to Life News—the monthly compilation of all things pro-life—is in your in-boxes. So, 56 days and counting until the most consequential presidential election of my adult life. What are some of the latest developments? As we’ve discussed countless times, there are …

Will it change their behavior? By Dave Andrusko Granted, you have to actually look at the graph to understand the true importance of this poll, because the results are not specifically spelled out. The headline reads, “The public’s view of almost every industry has improved since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, according to a …

By Dave Andrusko Gallup’s headline is accurate—“One in Four Americans Consider Abortion a Key Voting Issue” — and reinforces what we already know: people look to a candidate’s position on whether they support annihilating unborn children when they are determining whom they will vote for. And to Megan Brenan’s and Gallup’s credit, right in the …

By Dave Andrusko Earlier today, we posted an analysis of the latest survey on abortion conducted by Gallup. At “Gallup finds ever-increasing pro-life advantage among voters who base their vote solely on a candidate’s position on abortion,” I wrote about the advantage pro-life President Donald Trump enjoys over pro-abortion Joe Biden because 30% of pro-lifers …

By Dave Andrusko Last week NRL News Today reported that Gallup’s latest “Values and Beliefs poll” found 47% of respondents said abortion was morally wrong while 44% said abortion was morally acceptable.
