Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : And rather than other states flipping, Trump won all the battlegrounds.
55% : Findings by the pollster, Ann Selzer, that were released three days before the election showed Kamala Harris leading Trump by three points.
54% : "She'll have to do better than that if Trump gets court approval for depositions, and so will the Register, which is owned by Gannett.
50% : It was a potential earthquake since all other polls predicted Trump would win the state easily, and the Selzer poll gave Dems hopes Iowa would flip blue and that other states would too.
47% : In fact, the poll was off by an astounding 16 points, with Trump winning Iowa by 13 points.
35% : Large legacy outlets, such as the networks and The New York Times, earned their once-solid reputations because they set a standard of restraint, but they have thrown their reputations and standards overboard in their quest to destroy Trump and impose their radical leftist values on America.
33% : Trump is also continuing a legal battle against the board that awards the Pulitzer Prizes, saying it defamed him when it rejected an earlier demand that it withdraw two 2018 Pulitzers.
27% : In a settlement, the network forked over $16 million for a Trump library and his legal fees, and had to publicly say they "regret" Stephanopoulos' false claims that Trump had been found liable for rape in a civil case.
25% : But with the rise of an unrestrained social media, and with the intense hatred of Trump that is expressed by many leftist journalists being rewarded with Pulitzers and other awards, there are few reasons to hope change will happen quickly or even voluntarily.
24% : Unfortunately for them, Trump has the means and the will to fight back.
22% : They put their agenda of defeating Trump ahead of the facts and the law, and, faced with depositions that likely would have supported his claim of defamation, ABC caved.
21% : Recent days have reconfirmed that their war against Donald Trump is their most egregious assault on truth and fairness, but it was hardly the first or only.
17% : He also said Monday he was suing CBS for deceptively editing a "60 Minutes" interview with Harris and author Bob Woodward over a dispute involving audio ­tapes."We have to straighten out the press," Trump said.
