Republican enthusiasm is strong in flaming red to pale red and even a blue states

Republican voter enthusiasm is strong even where it isn’t supposed to be.

Squeezing the truth out of fake polls is like panning for gold; it’s hard work, but the rewards can be very satisfying.

Almost daily, we are insulted by liberal “experts” lying about a lack of voter enthusiasm among Republicans.

The truth is just the opposite.

Republican enthusiasm is strong and getting stronger.

In fact, it is markedly higher than the enthusiasm of Democrats as proven by real tangible hard evidence.

We don’t need lies from liberal “experts” to tell us what is happening. We have real numbers to look at.

Primary election results from states where the results are virtually meaningless, because of the lopsided hold one party or the other has, make this case.

Republicans are scratching at the ground to vote and Democrats are “not feeling it.”

In Tuesday’s primaries in Wyoming and Alaska while, the Republicans were turning out big numbers the Democrats lagged far behind.

The significance of these big Republican leads is especially clear in the Wyoming primaries were the results are foregone conclusions.

Wyoming’s incumbent US Senator ran in a primary while the Democrat was unopposed. The Republican got 109, 000 voters to show up even though the Democrat has no chance to win.

In the Wyoming governor’s primaries, the Democrats got 17,000 voters to show up; and in another situation where the Democrat has no chance, the Republican got 114,00 voters out.

In the single Wyoming House district’s primaries where there is no chance of a Democrat victory over the incumbent in November, the incumbent Republican Congresswoman got 107,000 voters out and the Democrats could draw just 16,000 voters.

The significance of these lopsided vote tallies is that even though they are lopsided Republicans are streaming to the polls in very big numbers.

Republicans are itching to vote.

Alaska is another state where the Republicans have an edge but still got impressive numbers of voters to the polls for a seemingly meaningless primary.

In Alaska’s primaries for its lone House seat, Democrats got 32,000 voters to show up and Republicans attracted 56,000 voters.

The House seat is Republican with no chance of a Democrat pickup, but the incumbent was still able to get this large number of voters to participate.

At the other end of the country in deep blue Connecticut the Republicans drew 143,000 voters to their primary for the governor’s race nomination. This was up from 79, 000 in 2014 and saw Republicans out voting Democrats by a 30/25% count.

This week Florida’s early voting primaries have produced record participation for Republicans in many counties.

The latest update shows that even with competitive primaries for both parties, the Republicans have turned out 64,000 more voters.

Other signs of strong Republican enthusiasm come from Wisconsin and Arizona.

A just released survey of voters in Wisconsin included information on relative enthusiasm within both parties.

While it points out that currently 69% of Wisconsin Republicans are “very enthusiastic about voting;” and 67% of Democrats feel the same, this is a complete reversal of what the survey found last month.

In July the Marquette Law School poll found just 62% of Republicans were “very enthusiastic about voting,” and 69% of Democrats felt the same.

In just a month Republican enthusiasm has grown by 7 points and Democrat enthusiasm has fallen by 2 points.

Don’t let some liberal “expert” tell you this is happening only in Wisconsin.

In Arizona, Republicans hold an 11.3% lead in early voting over Democrats; and according the Arizona Secretary of State voters over 55 (who tend to support Republicans) are showing up in big numbers.

The next time you hear “Republican enthusiasm is low”, look for hard numbers and weigh them against “expert” liberal opinion.

Please don't accept the premise that Republicans are not enthusiastic; it's just not true.

Looks to me like the Democrats’ efforts to discourage us are firing us up. I hope they release more early voting results on election day telling us that Republicans are losing. That would really get a bunch of voters off the couch and to their polling location.

[ScottinVA]

Hoping you’re right. The GOP turnout in the special elections up until now has been tepid.

If you are a Republican and don’t vote this November you aren’t getting any dessert!

[Signalman]

According to the latest Fox News Poll, the GOP is not in good shape for the mid-terms because:

-President Trump’s job rating remains underwater.

- Republicans alone say the economy is in positive shape.

- The GOP tax law is less popular (40 percent favorable) than Obamacare (51 percent favorable).

- The Republican Party is less popular (39 percent favorable) than the Democratic Party (50 percent favorable).

- Optimism about life for the next generation of Americans is down eight points from last year.

- There is greater enthusiasm to vote in the midterms among out-of-power Democrats.

I’m not buying any of it. “The tax cuts are less popular than Obamacare”. Preposterous.

[Trump.Deplorable]

10 people are surveyed

3 people refuse to take the survey, cause it is “fake news” they are rabid Trump supporters

4 people cite the “Trump is bad”

3 others say they like Trump

according to the media Trump’s approval ratings are 43%, but reality is they are more like 60% or higher.

The polls are useless

At the other end of the country in deep blue Connecticut the Republicans drew 143,000 voters to their primary for the governor’s race nomination. This was up from 79, 000 in 2014 and saw Republicans out voting Democrats by a 30/25% count.

I saw this personally last week. When I went to vote in that primary, four out of the five I was in there with took Republican ballots.

Bear in mind that registered Democrats outnumber registered Republicans by more than a 2-1 margin in CT. So the fact that Republican voters actually outnumbered the Democrats in turnout is amazing.

I know it is not the best example but take a look at the recent Alaska, Wyoming primary results.....the Democrat voter turnout was dismal to say the least. A better overview will come from next week’s Florida Primary election. The coming victory of Republicans, Kris Kobach & Troy Balderson also favors a “Red Republican Wave”

Democrats are going to have a terrible election evening on November 6, 2018...once again made fools of themselves with the inputs of the pundits, pollsters & media who are dead wrong!!! Go, Trump, Go MAGA!!!

Thing is Trump is smart enough to talk about fighting for us and the issues that matter to us not inside baseball cat fight politics of the swamp.

[j.havenfarm]

I am so tired of being rolled by these bastards when they go after our cowardly leaders, and the October surprises, fake outrages, etc. for once we’ve brought a street fighter to a knife fight

[fortheDeclaration]

And yet we won most of them.

[jmaroneps37]

I find it very interesting that no one commented on the big swing in enthusiasm among Republicans in Wisconsin. As I wrote, don’t let anyone tell you this is only happening in Wisconsin, The numbers say opposite.

[Deplorable American1776]

I was checking my hometown (Connecticut) voters info...and my hometown, a solidly Dem town had more R turning out than D. It seems like 40% of R came out while only 15% of D came out. (My hometown has twice as much Independent voters than Republican voters.)

[catnipman]

add this tidbit to the pile, namely:

“Oregon Gov. Kate Brown positioned herself early on as a leader of the anti-Trump opposition, but the state’s never-ending panoply of protest activity has backfired on her re-election bid with voters suffering from resistance fatigue.

Ms. Brown, who was expected to coast to victory in deep-blue Oregon, has found herself deadlocked in the latest polls with state Rep. Knute Buehler, an affable orthopedic surgeon whose moderate brand of Republicanism is attracting crossover voters.”

if this poll is accurate, then it may very well portend a larger national trend that’s devastating to the Dems, which would be REALLY YUGE ...

Please don't accept the premise that Republicans are not enthusiastic; it's just not true.

I believe (R) enthusiasm is being stoked in part by all the MSM blather about impeachment.

Trump gets on Ainsley Earheart's show for an interview and glibly mentions that if he's impeached the stock market will crash and there goes prosperity.

(D)'s are invested and like making money too. Deep down they know it's Trump's policies that are making them rich like everyone else. The MSM's constant squawking "impeachment" is done as a knee jerk reaction to THEM losing power and access as more of Obama's dik-weeds lose their security clearances one by one.

Let 'em squawk. It motivates us, and Trump knows it. All the Mueller investigation crap, Cohen pleading guilty to something that is not a crime and now immunity to the National Enquirer's editor? Mueller looks more rabid but the threat looks more real (it isn't) and the motivation of the (R) base only grows hotter.

FReegards!

Don’t be too surprised to see Minnesota send a new Conservative Senator to D.C.
Karin Housley has a great amount of support over lock step democrat Tina Smith, in the battle for the Groper’s vacated seat.
