Mark Mellman

That's a bit rosier than what Mark Mellman, a top Democratic pollster with a good track record in Nevada, found in a survey released earlier this week: In his poll, Heller led Rosen by 40 percent to 39 percent, a bad spot for an incumbent to be in but not as dire a situation as this other poll suggests. Another ...

Last week US Democrats filed a lawsuit alleging a conspiracy between the Trump presidential campaign, the Russian government, the WikiLeaks organisation and various others. Why do such a thing? Democratic pollster Mark Mellman gave this revealing answer to the LA Times: “It's very motivating to the ...

Democrats gave President Trump another potential legal headache Friday, filing a federal lawsuit that alleges an illegal election conspiracy between his presidential campaign, the Russian government, the WikiLeaks organization ... "It's very motivating to the base," said Democratic pollster Mark Mellman.

And Mr. Comey has drawn bipartisan criticism with his latest efforts to explain — and, to some degree, recast — his much-criticized handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server. Mark Mellman, a longtime Democratic pollster, said Mr. Comey's standing had been undermined ...

Reggie Thomas. Twenty-three percent of voters are undecided. The poll was conducted by Democratic pollster Mark Mellman before either Gray or McGrath campaigns took to the airwaves, and sampled 400 likely voters in the 6th Congressional Dist. Interviews were conducted on cell phone and landlines, ...

Gallup's monthly data suggests an even bigger drop in Republican identification since the beginning of 2017 and a larger increase in the number of Democrats. Analysts poring over these data about Republicans have concluded that whatever happens this November, Trump is a shoe-in for re-nomination ...

For example, a quote superimposed on a picture of Clinton, sourced to a book by Dick Morris, reading, “Look, the average Democratic voter is just plain stupid. They're easy to manipulate,” was circulated on social media. In fact, Clinton never uttered such words, nor does Morris's screed even make such a ...

Many consultants who knew the couple called them inseparable, including Mark Mellman, who served in the leadership of the AAPC at the same time as ... “Whether you were working with her or against her, you could not help liking, respecting and admiring April Hackney,” said Marty Stone, a Democratic ...

A blue wave is building, but it will crash into a relatively stable political system surrounded by high walls. The damage that wave will do to the GOP depends on the height of the wave relative to the walls — and no one can confidently assess that yet. While Democrats understandably cheer every poll ...

One Republican-leaning pollster, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the question is impossible to quantify with any certainty. To move that many votes in those three states, the pollster said, would mean moving about 600,000 votes nationally ― or about half a percentage point. That said, he added ...

Meanwhile, Democrats won the national House vote by almost 6 points and captured 242 seats. Nearly half the nation's congressional districts produced split decisions. The impact of the national tide on House and Senate races was muted, at most. Such a result would be unimaginable today. Last year, the ...

At the meeting, billed as a get-to-know-you event at the start of a new legislative session, top Democrats presented internal polling they commissioned from national pollster Mark Mellman, who worked for former U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, two sources told NJ Advance Media. Legislative ...

Trump will be charging up a very big hill. But in fairness, most presidents have had great difficulty using the State of the Union to improve their public standing. Polls produced in the immediate aftermath of these events may seem to suggest otherwise, but most often, the addresses have no consistent impact ...

The latest poll, by CNN, found 55 percent opposed and just 33 percent in favor. “Don't worry,” say GOP leaders, attempting to reassure the lemmings following them, “once people see their tax bills shrinking, their attitudes will change.” Democrats said the same thing about the benefits of ObamaCare: Once ...

And they have empowered a psychologically impaired, intellectually deficient, amoral president, who seems hellbent on undermining the sometimes fragile foundations of our democracy. Take the tax bill. Republicans were simply unwilling to be constrained by anything approaching reality. As New York ...

No Democrat seeks to reduce turnout or make it harder for government to solve problems, but that can be the unintended consequences of their words. Mellman is President of The Mellman Group and has helped elect 30 U.S. Senators, 12 Governors and dozens of House Members. Mellman served as ...

Honestly, that wasn't because of the wonderful things the president did during those harrowing days. Rather, the attacks heightened our identities as Americans. Flags flew everywhere. Patriotism was in fashion, and our other identities, say as Democrats and Republicans, suddenly became far less salient.

Imagine you're studying the impact of food consumption on health. You're running a huge experiment — you rounded up 100,000 people, and measured all their vitals (weight, blood pressure, good cholesterol and bad, blood sugar, etc.). You then divided them into two groups, strictly at random. Of course ...

For example, Hillary Clinton lost Wisconsin by just 27,000 votes, while 40,000 fewer people cast ballots in heavily Democratic Milwaukee than in 2012. Similar situations obtained in Detroit and other cities. Had those 2012 voters come to the polls, Clinton would likely have won the state. Voter suppression ...

... Ginsberg, Mark Mellman and Celinda Lake. And since the 1992 cycle, C&E Rising Stars have served in senior positions on the presidential campaigns of every major party nominee. See the 2017 class here. And now we're preparing to name the class of 2018. C&E will select 8 Democrats, 8 Republicans ...

Heller has a 40 percent to 39 percent lead over Rosen in Nevada in a new survey conducted by Mark Mellman, former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's (D-NV) longtime pollster and the man regarded by strategists in both parties as the one with the best numbers in the difficult-to-poll state. That's a bad ...
