The ultimate American poll, what does the U.S. really think?

As the 2024 Presidential race kicks into gear, so does polling season. It seems every organization has its own pollster and its own statistics. Major newspapers, broadcast networks, and even social media influencers must find that poll numbers get attention because all seem to use them.

Don’t underestimate Senator Tim Scott’s chances at becoming the GOP’s 2024 nominee

Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina is running for President of the United States. He is competing with several others for the nomination of the Republican Party.
