GOP surges in key battleground states, blunting Dem hopes for 'blue wave'.
Fox News ^ | 10-24-2018 | Gregg Re

Early voting numbers from several key battleground states now show Republican voters turning out in far greater numbers than Democratic ones, signaling an initial GOP surge that may dull the prospects of a so-called "blue wave" on Nov. 6.

Republican voters have taken the lead in turnout numbers in Georgia, Indiana, Montana, Texas, Tennessee, Florida and Arizona -- states that Fox News analyses show are the scenes of close and pivotal House, Senate and gubernatorial races.

The results are most striking in Tennessee, where 63 percent of early voters are affiliated with the Republican Party, compared to only 30 percent aligned with the Democrats, according to one review of publicly available voting data conducted by NBC News.

Right now we are actually seeing a red wave, starting even to affect House races.

R absentees up big in CA39, 48, 49; in FL where even with early voting Rs lead by 53k (without much of the Panhandle yet!)

Am told Hugin’s internals have him up 2.

BOTH races in MN now close, Klobuchar only up 7, Housley has closed to within 3. Ellison crashing the whole D establishment there. He’ll lose big.

I don’t predict any election result but there are signs of a building red wave. Can you imagine the gnashing of teeth if the democrats actually get wiped out in this election? Very sincerely if I was in that caravan I’d be very worried because the democrats might do something to them out of desperation.

Drudge is a piece of garbage I know that most articles are written from the Democrat perspective but drudge puts up his own headlines for stories and every headline is written from the Democrat perspective.

I read it all to have a real perspective and don’t discount each time I read something I don’t agree with. Anyway, here in California we are in a fight in the 45th and 48th where big DNC money is coming into Orange County. One of the last Reagan bastions left in this state. These races are reporting 48-48% in polling. Living on edge the next two weeks.

Depends on who’s doing the number-crunching and reporting, I guess. The demonkkkRATs will skew things their way, regardless of the facts, aka lie their asses off to demoralize Conservatives and the GOP/GOPe voters.

I voted yesterday — N. Texas. VERY LONG lines. I have never seen lines at the voting locations before.

On the radio a lot of people calling in and saying they are seeing the same.

Do NOT let up folks!

Democrat Party had a group Budd Dwyer moment with their Kavanaugh insanity....

ANY shot at taking the house DIED that day... Self inflicted gun shot wound the head.

Yes, GOTV.. but the reason the Dems are going down in flames is not simply because they unified and engaged the GOP base, but more importantly they insulted the sense of decency of the casual/independent voters.... Or in other words, the typical American.

I guarantee the polls are off, just like they were in 16... and they are off at LEAST 1-3% in terms of NOT capturing people who are going to show up and vote GOP... not because they are majorly conservative... but because they are going to PUNISH the Dems for their behavior.

And they aren’t being captured in polling because, just like in 16, when Trump was going to get votes from folks pollers classify as unlikely voters, because they don’t routinely vote.

I hope you’re right about this! I’m in MN but haven’t seen these polls yet. I know Ellison is a huge drag on the ticket, and the state GOP is wisely tying the other candidates to him in commercials. It’s hard to imagine Klobuchar losing though. If that happens, election night will be a national bloodbath for Dems.
