There’s a giant chasm between the real America and the one mainstream news giants describe. A new survey makes that stunningly clear. No matter how much the media idolizes certain politicians, the public isn’t having it.

Listen to the latest episode for details. Supporters get exclusive, hyperlinked, annotated transcripts like this, below.

Of 12 U.S. political figures tested, including likely presidential contenders for 2028, only two are “above water.” Both are Republicans. All the Democrats have overall unfavorability. A progressive star is as disliked as Trump, and another is trailing the pack at a brutal -18 rating.

The survey found that ICE and MAGA are unpopular. The DSA and socialism are more unpopular. Most despised of all are Islamist terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah as well as their sponsor, Iran.

If Democrats want to win, they need to take this seriously. Inside their mainstream media bubble, they underestimate support for Republican candidates and overestimate support for their own. Consider this survey the signal to burst the bubble.

Where do the politicians rank? Here’s who’s on top, who’s the most unpopular of all… and how measles vaccines fit in.
