FRANK LUNTZ

Discontent over skyrocketing inflation is the most important issue for voters heading into this year's midterm election, Frank Luntz told CNBC on Friday.

Brian Castrucci is an epidemiologist, public health practitioner and president and CEO of the de Beaumont Foundation. And what people are hearing on social media regarding Covid-19 in general, and the vaccines in particular, should scare you. As has been made clear during the Covid pandemic, we're already too late. The impact of social media on health goes beyond Covid. Regulators must hold social media companies and others accountable and responsible by engaging the public health community and ensuring that Internet regulations include common sense public health protections.

Frank Luntz, a GOP pollster and strategist, told CNBC on Tuesday there's about an 80% chance that Republican Glenn Youngkin beats Democrat Terry McAuliffe.

Republicans are blasting President Joe Biden, threatening lawsuits and going as far as to call for civil disobedience to block his new vaccination mandates.

President Biden is considering stiffer measures to increase the number of Americans who get vaccinated against COVID-19.

Republican lawmakers are under increasing pressure to persuade vaccine skeptics to roll up their sleeves and take the shots as a new, more contagious COVID-19 variant sends caseloads soaring.

Republican politicians are under increasing pressure to speak out to persuade COVID-19 vaccine skeptics to roll up their sleeves and take the shots as a new, more contagious variant sends caseloads soaring. In recent news conferences and statements, some prominent Republicans have been imploring their constituents to lay lingering doubts aside. In Washington, the so-called Doctors Caucus gathered at the Capitol for an event to combat vaccine hesitancy.

Seven weeks ago, President Joe Biden laid out a lofty goal to vaccinate 70% of all American adults by July Fourth.

For the first time, a majority of Americans are not church members, according to a recent poll. That could have long-term consequences for Republicans, long affiliated with more religious voters.

The president plans to meet in the Oval Office with Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), the Republican point person on infrastructure spending.

Tucker Carlson was right: House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is living in the Washington, D.C., penthouse of Republican pollster and messaging maven Frank Luntz, and it does sound like a pretty sweet deal. Carlson was tipped off to the roommate arrangement, and McCarthy confirmed it Tuesday, telling Fox & Friends he has "rented a room from Frank for a couple of months, but don't worry, I'm back to — going back to where I normally am, on my couch in my office. But, yes, we pay fair market rate" Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler looked into Luntz's apartment, and it's actually a 7,000-square-foot, 12-bedroom, 16-bathroom amalgamation of 4 three-story penthouses Luntz purchased for nearly $4.3 million in August and September 2018 and merged in November 2019. The homeowner's association fees on the four units is $4,976 a month, Kessler calculates, citing Redfin. Neither McCarthy nor Luntz responded to the Post's request for comment, but a McCarthy spokesman told the Daily Wire the minority leader "calculated the fair market value amount at $1,500/month" to rent an "approximately" 400-square-foot room in Luntz's penthouse. Kessler's Apartments.com search found that a comparable studio or one-bedroom would run about $5,000 a month. Regardless, he writes, "besides the 'room' he rented, McCarthy would have had access to a 24/7 concierge, a rooftop pool, a fitness center, a media room, a business center, and a party room with a bar and pool table." "This is quite a deal, especially considering that Luntz has talked about how he's on the road all the time," Politico muses. "Imagine paying $1,500 a month for what is essentially a mansion carved into a high-rise? It's good to be the minority leader!" Carlson was less amused by the "sleazy and corrupt" arrangement. "Kevin McCarthy promises Republicans he shares their values" and "will fight for them against permanent Washington, the forces that would like to destroy their lives," he said. "And at the end of the day, Kevin McCarthy goes home to Frank Luntz's apartment in Penn Quarter and laughs about it."

Laura Biggs, a 56-year-old who has already recovered from the virus, is wary of taking the vaccine. “The way I feel about it is: I don’t need the vaccine at this point," she said. She said partisan differences were obvious among her friends and family in all aspects of the pandemic, including vaccine acceptance. I don’t think it is the way God intended for us to be,” said Holloway. “The people who voted for Trump and don’t want to take the vaccine are committed in their opposition.

And for beleaguered Republicans coming off a disastrous election, it was their first step back to political power. Senate Republicans are expected to oppose a similar measure in the coming weeks, arguing that the bill is not focused enough on the pandemic. Polling suggests that an overwhelming majority of voters — including a significant number of Republicans — supports the Democrats' pandemic relief plan.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., walks with fellow House Republicans on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, Feb. 3, 2021, following a meeting called by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy. Scott Applewhite)WASHINGTON – House Republicans decided Wednesday to stand by two GOP lawmakers who have polarized the party, voting to retain Rep. Liz Cheney as their No. In a 145-61 secret-ballot vote, House Republicans overwhelmingly rebuffed a rebellion by hard-right conservatives to toss Cheney, R-Wyo., from leadership after she voted last month to impeach then-President Donald Trump. Hours earlier, after Democrats slated a House vote for Thursday that would remove Greene from her committees, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy ridiculed them for it. The decisions over Greene and Cheney have subjected the GOP to a politically agonizing test of its direction as it moves beyond the Trump presidency.

Republican pollster Frank Luntz told CNBC on Wednesday there are sharp political differences between Americans that will make finding compromise in Washington a challenge under the incoming Biden administration. "It was even more contentious than in the lead-up to the election," when Democrat Biden defeated Republican incumbent President Donald Trump. Biden has repeatedly sought to portray himself as a unifying figure at a fraught moment in U.S. history. Perhaps the only area of some agreement, Luntz said, is in the desire for Washington to pass additional coronavirus stimulus. They want to put more money directly into the pockets of Americans," Luntz said of his focus group.

The unbreakable wall of Republican support that encouraged and enabled Donald Trump's norm-shattering presidency cracked on Wednesday. But even some of those who opposed impeachment condemned Trump's behavior and blamed him for sparking the insurrection. “The president bears responsibility for Wednesday's attack on Congress by mob rioters,” said House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., while warning that a second Trump impeachment would further divide America. A more consequential vote awaits later this month in the Senate, where Trump's party is hardly rallying to his side. But the House impeachment showed how challenging the coming months will be for the GOP.

Trump still has supporters, especially among the many rank-and-file Republican voters and conservative activists beyond Washington. That makes Trump the first outgoing president since Andrew Johnson 152 years ago to skip the swearing-in of his successor. Meanwhile, there is no clear path for the Republican Party without Trump. “We need a Republican Party,” Biden said, noting that he spoke with Republican Sen. Mitt Romney, a leading Trump critic. Doug Deason, a Texas-based donor who served on the Trump campaign's finance committee, said this week's events have done nothing to shake his confidence in the Republican president.

GOP pollster and strategist Frank Luntz told CNBC on Wednesday that the Democratic Party's strong showing in the Georgia Senate runoffs deliver a clear warning to Republicans. "Georgia has not had two Democratic senators in decades, but they look like they've chosen it because of their frustration with what's going on in Washington. This is a lesson for the Republican Party of what's likely to come if they continue to behave this way," Luntz said on "Squawk Box." Luntz, who predicted Democratic victories in Georgia, complimented former gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams and the Democratic Party for their "very impressive" organization in the state. Luntz said President Donald Trump, who has refused to concede to Biden after losing in November, deserved blame for the GOP performance in the Senate runoffs.

In Georgia, Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler and Republican David Perdue , whose Senate term just expired Sunday, are facing off in Tuesday's election against Democratic challengers Rev. "I think the next 48 hours are going to be among the worst for the GOP," he added. "There is a greater divide in the Republican Party than there is in the Democratic Party," Luntz said in an interview on CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Tuesday from Georgia. "The party is in the process of tearing itself apart and you don't do that now, when you're this close to the most important Senate election, literally, in a lifetime. "That spells a lot of chaos within the GOP at a moment when the public is saying to both political parties, 'Just govern.

After threatening to let an omnibus spending package that included the $900 billion Covid relief measure languish in Congress over his displeasure with $600 stimulus checks, Trump signed the bill Sunday. However, he has united with Democrats in a rare occasion in calling for $2,000 in payouts to citizens. "The president made a very smart decision by agreeing to sign [the] legislation," Luntz said on "Squawk Box." After the Democratic-controlled House voted with support from 44 Republicans to increase direct payments to $2,000, the measure is expected to face an uphill battle in the Senate, despite Trump's support. With the runoff in Georgia a week away, Luntz said the GOP is making a "smart decision" to continue strategizing in the state.

But the GOP's hold on the Senate depends on winning at least one of Georgia's two runoffs. Georgia election rules called for runoff races when no candidate exceeded 50% of voter share in either race during the Nov. 3 general election. Trump will travel to Georgia on Dec. 5 to campaign for Perdue and Loeffler, according to White House spokesman Judd Deere. The president's persistent attacks on election integrity could impact the outcome of the January runoffs, GOP strategist and pollster Frank Luntz told CNBC. Democratic U.S. Senate candidates Jon Ossoff (R) and Raphael Warnock (L) of Georgia wave to supporters during a rally on November 15, 2020 in Marietta, Georgia.

That means a pair of Democratic victories in Georgia would make the 100-seat Senate 50-50. Nonetheless, Luntz noted that Democratic control of the Senate would still mean that committee chairs would be considerably more liberal than Republican counterparts. Even so, Luntz said he believes it is challenging to forecast what will happen in the Georgia senate races — especially given the prospect that Biden would ultimately win the presidential contest there. Now, however, it is a "genuine swing state," Luntz said. Among the factors that make the Georgia Senate outcomes hard to predict, according to Luntz, is the massive spending in the races.

"There are enough states and enough electoral votes that can be called where it's going to be very tough for the president" to win, Luntz said on "Squawk Box." The contest in Georgia, which has 16 electoral votes, remains too close to call and could stay that way for a while longer. The race in the state, which has 16 electoral votes, remains too close to call. Biden holds a slight lead in Arizona, which has 11 electoral votes, but it has been narrowing. Biden also leads in the race for Nevada's six electoral votes, with 89% of the expected vote counted, according to NBC News.

The outcome in Arizona, which has 11 electoral votes, remains too early to call, according to NBC News. Biden currently has 253 of the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency, according to NBC News. On Wednesday, the presidential contests in Wisconsin and Michigan were called in favor of Biden, according to NBC News. A victory alone in Pennsylvania, which has 20 electoral votes, would put Biden over the key 270 threshold. I think that it does flip to Joe Biden," Luntz said.

Longtime Republican pollster Frank Luntz told CNBC on Wednesday that President Donald Trump needs to win Pennsylvania in order to have a chance at defeating Democratic challenger Joe Biden. "Donald Trump must win Pennsylvania if he's to get to 270," Luntz said. Getty ImagesUnderlying Luntz's forecast is his assumption that Trump wins Georgia and its 16 electoral votes, as well as North Carolina's 15 electoral votes. The other side of Luntz's assumptions are that Biden wins Arizona's 11 electoral votes and Nevada's 6 electoral votes. Luntz believes Biden is in more favorable positions in Wisconsin and Michigan, which have 10 and 16 electoral votes, respectively.

President Donald Trump is projected to win Ohio over former Vice President Joe Biden, according to NBC News. Polling averages had indicated a tight race in a state Trump won handily in 2016 over Hillary Clinton. Long considered a bellwether for national politics, Ohio has voted for the winning presidential candidate in every election since 1964. RealClearPolitics showed Biden with a slim lead over Trump that tightened to a neck-and-neck race in the final days. GOP pollster Frank Luntz deemed Ohio a must-win state for Trump, along with North Carolina and Florida.

Biden holds slight leads over Trump in Florida and North Carolina, but the president is within striking distance, according to the CNBC/Change Research poll released Monday. He also took Florida and North Carolina en route to an upset victory four years ago. If Trump is able to win these three critical states, the race may then boil down to the results in Pennsylvania "because they're going to take the longest to count [votes]," Luntz predicted. Trump spent election eve at rallies in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan. In an election with a surge in mail-in voting due to the coronavirus pandemic, Luntz urged Americans to be patient as states tabulate results.

The lifelong Republican from suburban Cleveland supports President Donald Trump's policies and fears her business could be gutted if Democrat Joe Biden is elected. It's a “moral dilemma," Jaronowski said as she paced her home one recent evening after pouring a glass of sauvignon blanc. Jaronowski is part of a small but potentially significant group of voters who say they remain truly undecided less than three weeks before the Nov. 3 election. Some voted for third-party candidates in 2016 because they were so repelled by their choices — Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton — and may do so again. Having so few undecided voters to move “is problematic if your candidate is not leading,” said Becca Siegel, the campaign’s chief analytics officer.

American voters who remain undecided about the upcoming presidential election are weighing their dislike of President Donald Trump against their concern about Democratic nominee Joe Biden's policies, longtime Republican pollster and strategist Frank Luntz told CNBC on Friday. "They are nervous about Trump's persona and they are nervous about Joe Biden's policies, and that's what is holding them back," Luntz said on "Squawk Box." Luntz's comments Friday came after he held a 16-person focus group with undecided voters following Trump and Biden's opposing town halls Thursday night. Indeed, one member of Luntz's focus group who identified as a financial advisor specifically expressed concerns about Biden's tax proposals. He said undecided voters are looking for more than vague platitudes about how well the economy will be again after it digs out of the coronavirus-induced hole.

GOP pollster Frank Luntz told CNBC on Thursday that his 15-person focus group of undecided voters felt Vice President Mike Pence performed better than Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris in the vice presidential debate. "All but two of them felt that Mike Pence won the debate," Luntz said on "Squawk Box." "What they're doing is watching to see whether or not they can trust that individual, and Mike Pence did extraordinarily well in that. Tammy Vigil, a professor of communication studies at Boston University, told CNBC she believes both Pence and Harris demonstrated their ability to lead the country during the debate. There were times during Wednesday's debate when Pence tried interrupting Harris and speaking over the moderator, Susan Page.

The Republican president has trailed Democratic challenger Joe Biden in polls for most of the year. One month before Election Day and with ballots already being cast in some states, there are few parallels in American history to such a stunning collision of crises in the late stage of a campaign. The Republican president has trailed Democratic challenger Joe Biden in polls for most of the year. “You have an American president threatening political instability ... and at the same time making wild accusations and spreading conspiracy theories about the legitimacy of an American election,” Schmidt said. Amid legal and health concerns, it's difficult for pollsters and campaigns to predict how many voters will ultimately cast ballots.

Joe Biden and his party scored a huge fundraising windfall during and after Tuesday night's acrimonious debate with President Donald Trump. The Democratic fundraising website ActBlue processed close to $8 million between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. Biden campaign officials told reporters late Tuesday they raised $3.8 million between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. through ActBlue, which they said was the site's one-hour record. As of early Wednesday, the Trump campaign, the Republican National Committee and a representative for GOP donation website WinRed had not announced fundraising hauls. During the debate, the candidates battled over issues ranging from the economy to the Trump and Biden families.

Several polls ahead of the 2016 presidential election suggested Trump supporters were at least somewhat more likely to say Supreme Court nominations mattered to them. But more recent polling shows the gap between Trump and Biden voters has narrowed – or even reversed. And an August CNN poll found 47% of Biden supporters, but just 32% of Trump supporters, labeled nominations as “extremely” important to them. But with a Supreme Court vacancy, he again is swallowing hard to support Biden in November. But many Trump supporters backed the president’s push to fill the seat now, hypocrisy be damned.

Trump campaign officials believe they missed that opportunity in trying to wrest Midwest states from the Democrats in 2016. Trump said hed get tough on China, one of Biden campaign ads says. The Biden campaign says Trump has weakened relations with allies and pulled the U.S. out of international organizations, giving China more room to exert its own influence. Biden campaign officials say that if Biden is elected, he will restore relationships with U.S. allies and rally the international community to form a united front against China. That first phase is smaller than the comprehensive deal Trump had hoped for and leaves many of the thorniest issues between the two countries for future talks.

Key Democrats, including presumptive presidential nominee Joe Biden, are rejecting liberal calls to defund the police as President Donald Trump and his allies point to the movement as a dangerous example of Democratic overreach. Other opponents of the movement include Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., a former presidential candidate and one of two black Democratic senators, and Rep. Karen Bass, D-Calif., head of the Congressional Black Caucus. Municipal officials in Minneapolis have endorsed the defund the police language backed by some civil rights activists and a handful of progressive House Democrats. Protesters over the weekend also painted DEFUND THE POLICE in large yellow letters on a street close to the White House. Some Democrats described it as bad politics, even if most Democrats shared the desire to overhaul policing.

Billionaire former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg's performance in his first Democratic presidential debate was so bad that it may be the "beginning of the end" for his already late-starting campaign, pollster Frank Luntz said Thursday. Luntz, a longtime Republican pollster and consultant to NBC's hit series "The West Wing," on CNBC compared Bloomberg's debacle to Rick Perry's debate gaffe in the 2012 race for the GOP presidential nomination. "We will look back at this debate potentially as the beginning of the end [for Bloomberg] because he didn't come across as prepared. Ahead of the Nevada debate, Bloomberg was gaining ground in national polls. Despite participating in the Nevada debate, Bloomberg is not on a ballot until Super Tuesday on March 3, when a third of the delegates are up for grabs in 16 nominating primaries and caucuses.

Luntz was referencing comments made Thursday by Salesforce founder and co-CEO Marc Benioff, who argued "capitalism, as we know it, is dead." Warren's support has increased as the former Harvard law professor rolled out a series of economic policy proposals that her campaign argues will create "big, structural change." Her signature proposal is a wealth tax, which would tax wealth over $50 million at 2% and wealth over $1 billion at 3%. Luntz said his polling shows support for Warren's wealth tax at around 75%, including a "bare majority of Republicans." "They are absolutely responding favorably to what Elizabeth Warren is saying, even if the ideas are so extreme," he argued.
