In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court has ruled that race-conscious admissions to colleges and universities violate the Constitution. The decision overturns a decades-long practice that allowed colleges to use affirmative action to achieve diverse student bodies.

This latest installment of America Speaks, an hourlong discussion moderated by political analyst and pollster Dr. Frank Luntz, takes a look at where Americans stand on the issue today. How important is diversity to the overall objectives of higher learning? Are there effective alternatives to affirmative action?

Americans come together for the Fourth of July this week to celebrate our nation’s independence and unity. Yet polls show the majority of us believe America is more polarized than ever.

The latest installment of America Speaks, hosted by political analyst and pollster Dr. Frank Luntz, takes a closer look at what average Americans think of our country today. Have we lost our ability to find any common ground on the big issues that divide us, such as climate change, immigration, and equality? Can we argue that the United States is the greatest country on earth anymore? What caused us to lose trust in our government, the news media, our institutions — and each other?

Education has become one of America’s most polarizing issues. Battle lines have been drawn over what kids are learning at schools, leading some states to ban controversial topics such as critical race theory from classrooms and even remove books from school libraries that some deem inappropriate.

Another worry is whether children are being taught the skills they need to succeed in life. In the latest 35-minute episode of America Speaks, hosted by political analyst and pollster Dr. Frank Luntz, parents from across America weigh in on their kids’ education and their concerns about the state of education.

America’s parents are concerned that their kids are experiencing too much at too young an age in today’s media-obsessed society. After hearing from moms in the previous episode of America Speaks, political analyst and pollster Dr. Frank Luntz wanted to let dads weigh in, as well. The conversation reveals that many parents say raising children these days is harder than ever due to a myriad of factors.

In the series’ latest 39-minute episode, parents from different cities and backgrounds discuss their biggest fears about raising children, including bullying at school and online, rampant sexualization across popular culture and threats to traditional family values.

Parents across America are worried about the danger technology poses to their kids. They worry that social media sites like TikTok are damaging to children’s mental health and fear the arrival of artificial intelligence will only make things worse.

The latest installment of America Speaks, hosted by political analyst and pollster Dr. Frank Luntz, tackles the tech issue head-on. During this episode, mothers from across the country discuss the challenges of raising kids in the age of social media, the difficulty in setting boundaries for smartphone use, and the role Congress should play to address the problem.

The clock is ticking for the White House and House Republicans to cut a deal on increasing the debt ceiling to avoid a catastrophic default. The looming deadline has many people concerned and frustrated. A recent poll indicates two-thirds of U.S. adults fear the economic fallout if the government defaults on its debts.

So who do Americans blame for the debt ceiling crisis–Biden or Congress? In the latest 36-minute episode of “America Speaks,” political analyst and pollster Dr. Frank Luntz asks Democrat and Republican voters who they fault for pushing the country to the brink of default. They also discuss possible solutions to cutting the country’s massive deficit, including reducing military spending.

Does Vice President Kamala Harris have what it takes to occupy the Oval Office? That’s a question Democrats are asking now, as the Biden-Harris ticket seeks reelection in 2024. Is Harris ready to step in if President Biden, already the oldest sitting president at 80, is unable to fulfill the duties of the office?

In this latest episode of Straight Arrow News’ new video series “America Speaks,” hosted by political analyst and pollster Dr. Frank Luntz, Democrats from across the nation share their views on VP Harris and her performance thus far. They also discuss whether notable Democrats such as Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, and California Governor Gavin Newsom give the party hope for the future.

President Biden’s age may be the greatest obstacle he faces on his road to reelection in 2024. Members of Biden’s own party worry the 80-year-old may not be up to the task of a second term in the White House. What do Democratic voters think about an octogenarian president running again?

That is one of the questions asked during the latest episode of Straight Arrow News’ new video series “America Speaks,” hosted by political analyst and pollster Dr. Frank Luntz. In this episode, Democrats from across the U.S. share their concerns about Biden’s age and stamina and discuss the pros and cons of his presidency up to this point.

Donald Trump may be the current front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, but the former president has plenty of competition. The GOP primary field includes Trump’s former Vice President Mike Pence and his former U.N. ambassador (and ex-South Carolina governor) Nikki Haley. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis hasn’t officially entered the race but is expected to do so once the Florida legislature passes an amendment allowing him to run without resigning from office. And while criticizing President Biden is part of each contender’s platform, the GOP candidates are also taking shots at each other as they try to gain an edge.

The race for the Republican nomination is the focus of the latest episode of Straight Arrow News’ America Speaks video series, hosted by veteran political analyst and pollster Dr. Frank Luntz. In this 23-minute video, U.S. voters share their thoughts on the strengths and weaknesses of DeSantis, Haley and Pence in comparison to former President Trump.
