HEY MAGA: Methodology MATTERS

How This Poll Was Conducted

• Interviewers spoke with 913 voters nationwide from April 21 to 24, 2025.

• Times/Siena polls are conducted by telephone, using live interviewers, in both English and Spanish. Overall, 97 percent of respondents were contacted on a cellphone for this poll.

• Voters are selected for the survey from a list of registered voters. The list contains information on the demographic characteristics of every registered voter, allowing us to make sure we reach the right number of voters of each party, race and region. For this poll, interviewers placed more than 120,000 calls to more than 35,000 voters.

• To further ensure that the results reflect the entire voting population, not just those willing to take a poll, we give more weight to respondents from demographic groups that are underrepresented among survey respondents, like people without a college degree. You can see more information about the characteristics of our respondents and the weighted sample at the bottom of the page, under “Composition of the Sample.”

• The margin of sampling error among registered voters is plus or minus 3.8 percentage points. In theory, this means that the results should reflect the views of the overall population most of the time, though many other challenges create additional sources of error.

Everything held together decently well until around 2008. After that, it seemed like everything was a death spiral from there.

The whole "Politically Correct/PC Police" and "Social Justice Warrior" movements became obnoxious during the Obama era. Censorship and social engineering was running rampant. The race card became the norm when opposing leftist policies. Identifty politics was a weapon often used. This is around the time my family split due to political differences. Holiday and family vacations seized during this time. Socialism became the dreaded and heated topic in the US. My father lost his job and was unemployed for 6 months during this time, causing immense fear of losing everything. This is the time when my immediate family fell apart. This was a terrible time.

The Trump era became a glimpse of hope and some normalcy began to return, but the biased and aggressive media was mercilessly attacking Trump at every angle. Meanwhile the economy was looking more optimistic and the social atmosphere was beginning to improve, then the COVID era struck during Trump's last year in office, placing the nation in a near standstill.

Then, the terror resumed under the Biden Administration and we saw a return of the Obama era disasters that plagued this nation once again.

I don't believe Trump quite fixed the extensive damage under Obama, but there were improvements that brought about hope. I don't know if the US will return to pre-Obama normalcy, but this death spiral needs to stop and fast before we are in an all-out civil war.

Who won the debate tonight? Trump or Harris?

I think Harris sounded very mommy-ish and I could hear the frequent trembles in her voice. I enjoyed Trump's charisma and tough confidence.

I wish Trump could have made the point during the whole race question that the dems like to use identity politics and the race card to distract from their competence, further dividing the country. I wish he could have elaborated on the tax cuts more like Harris did. Overall, I am still a Trump supporter and feel his tough demeanor is better matched against our adversaries.
