The Republican Party saw its most significant edge ever over Democrats in a September NBC News poll on the economy, crime, and immigration.
The poll, conducted between September 9 to 13, found that Republicans held massive leads — the largest in the poll’s history — on key issues when the respondents were asked who would do a better job handling them, with less than two months left before the election.
On the economy, 47 percent said they would trust a Republican to handle the economy compared to 28 percent who said a Democrat. This gives Republicans a plus 19, when 12 percent said both, 12 percent said neither, and one percent said not sure.
For the economy in October 2021, the Republicans were up by 18 points — Republicans saw 45 percent, and Democrats saw 27 percent.
On crime, 45 percent said they would trust a Republican to handle crime, as there is a current problem throughout the country, compared to 22 percent who said a Democrat. This gives Republicans a plus 23, when 14 percent said both, 18 percent said neither, and one percent said not sure.

These polls are all over the place. Take your pick, you can find one to support any position.
I’m more confident with this election than many here. We’ll see.
Will ‘leading on key issues’ translate to votes though?
Dems seem to be easily motivated by recent events and the many outlets that pound the headlines with them. They have a month or so to come up with something to rally behind and push on their supporters.
Maybe the people who work at NBC got a good look at their 401ks
The Lefties are going to run on one issue and one issue only, everywhere and all the time: ABORTION!
Democrats hold a decisive edge over the GOP on which would be not Republican. For many voters, nothing else matters.
I’ve lost all faith and trust in polls. They seem to have gone from trying to be predictive, to persuasive.
Yes, they're all bought and paid for by people who are trying to influence the population. Completely fraudulent.
One story for the morning audience, another story for the afternoon audience. Just like WOR Radio.
I'm sure there'll be a mass casualty event just before the election.
Go back to the immigration rules...you need a sponsor, a physical and papers to get into this country legally.
Just enforce what you have. We need an Ellis Island in the Gulf.
I’m more confident with this election than many here. We’ll see.

I wish I shared your confidence. The pubs could lead on every single issue but one. I think the white soccer moms ability to kill their babies will over ride everything.
Is this the same poll that says fuhrer biden has a 45% JA???
Voting machines yawn ...

Ignore them. Politicians who stand for nothing, fall for anything, including stupid statistics purporting to tell them what they should think. A real man knows his own heart and stays true to it.
I think you’re right. They also have peculiar aspects to their business: there’s value in being first and there’s value in polling on issues that others aren’t (differentiation).
The public memory may be short enough nowadays to forgive completely incorrect predictions. Just a headline will do. The day after election day never quite turns out to be a review of all of the incorrect pollsters. People just move on.
3 powerful issues and the good news is the GOP doesn't need any messaging, people are quite familiar with these issues so the GOP can't screw up.
