The US Midterm Election In One Chart (Hint: Republicans Favored As Inflation Soars, Biden Unpopular On Kitchen Table Issues)
Confounded Interest ^ | 11/07/2022 | Anthony B. Sanders

Here is the US midterm election in one chart.

According to Real Clear Politics, the generic Republican polling data FAVORABLE (red line) is at 47.9% while Democrat polling data favorable polling data (yellow line) is at 45.4%, advantage Republicans.

Biden has been a disaster as President (energy mandates, Afghanistan debacle, endless funding of Ukraine, highest inflation in 40 years, and every time he opens his mouth. But it is the “kitchen table” issues where Biden is getting clobbered: inflation, rising gas, food and diesel prices. One Democrat Congressman, Sean Patrick Maloney, said “Let them eat Chef Boyradee.” I can’t believe how tone deaf some politicians can be.

Biden’s UNFAVORABLE polling numbers (orange line) are directly related to the US headline inflation rate. Inflation was 1.4% YoY when Biden became President and it is now 8.2% YoY (blue line).

And I don’t think Biden’s hateful rhetoric toward “MAGA Republicans” is helping him. I thought his set looked like the movie “Doom” with Duane “The Rock” Johnson and Karl Urban.

What is the Democrat message? The Democrat message appears to be to scare people to death, that democracy itself is on the ballot. We are told we need to vote Democrat, otherwise it is the end of the world. That seems to be the Democrat message.

It doesn’t matter what their message is a Democrat will vote Democrat no matter if they see this nation going to hell in a handbasket! They don’t care their hearts are full of anger and hate for this country. Last prediction by one of the top pollsters is saying that Nevada will reelect their Democrat POS communist candidate! So you see folks this red wave narrative was only a pipe dream instead of just dreaming go out and take action go vote take people with you that’s all we can do and pray. Blue states will stay blue and red will stay red that’s a no brainer!

The fact that the dems even have a slight chance of retaining even a scrap of power just goes to show you how mentally ill the country has become. No sane person could look at the biggest land invasion in history, the marauding bands of criminals terrorizing the cities and increasingly the suburbs, the sexualization and sexual mutilation of children, drag queens everywhere, 100,000 people dying of fentanyl poisoning, the politicization of the justice system, and say to themselves “I like that, and want even more of that”.

None of these races should be even close.

1. Kill babies
2. Pretend to make boys into girls
3. Trump bad
4. All of you are racist

It’s a strong platform.

47.9% R
45.4% D

I am constantly amazed by this. Why isn’t it 70/30?

If the headline was correct then why the hell are we just a couple of points ahead? I don’t believe this nonsense of a red wave at all. We must get off our Blooming butts and go vote and take people with us! And make that red wave materialize! If this list does not convince them to vote for Republicans nothing will! Read all the list that Mr. Wood tweeted….

I don't believe they are close. Opinion polls stopped reflecting public opinion over a decade ago and are now designed to shape opinion.

And of course, there is the cheat factor, which none of these articles predicting a red wave seem to worry about.

“It doesn’t matter what their message is a Democrat will vote Democrat no matter if they see this nation going to hell in a handbasket!”

Yep, and I’ll repeat it one more time, back in 1984 Reagan won in a historical landslide. Empty suit Walter Mondale still got 40.6% of the vote. Four out of 10 Americans rejected Reagan.

There are some Dems that will swing over to Republicans, mainly blue collar workers, and some suburban moms depending on what the issues are. However, he majority of Dems will vote for literally anyone no matter how bad they are.

The Republicans are going to win the house and Senate. But the difference is there will be considerably less cheating. There is an army of new poll watchers and lawyers keeping tabs on this election. New laws have been passed in several states. I also believe the Establishment Republicans and Democrats have come to an agreement on this one.

Establishment Republicans allowed the massive cheating to eliminate Trump and likely agreed to a midterm turnover with the Dems. I think voters have a lot less to say about elections than we hope. I think this has been true for decades, JFK did not win the Presidency fair and square.

Now I am not stupid enough to think the bad economy, wokeness, inflation, etc... will not help our cause. But I will make a bet now if any battleground state has more total Republican Votes than Trump’s 2020 total, I will donate $100 to Freerepublic.

You might not think this bet is fair since one is a Presidential election. But if it is truly a Red Wave than turnout should be greater.

I think we will find that Republican turnout will be slightly greater than normal, but the wins are because the Democrat’s votes are suppressed because of less cheating.

I believe that Red Wave Announcement in the mainstream media is a backhanded way of saying the election of 2020 was fair. And Democrats will cheat less this election. Without massive cheating, it means the democrats can’t win.

The Establishment (a cabal of Dems and Repubs) always has had a say in determining an election.
