A pollster who correctly predicted Donald Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton in 2016 is saying that Americans are prepping to unleash a “red tsunami” in Tuesday’s midterm elections.
Patrick Basham, the polling director at the Democracy Institute, predicted that Republicans will win control of the House and Senate.
The Democracy Institute’s poll of 1,500 “likely voters” predicts the GOP will gain a minimum of 33 to 38 seats in the House, with a “probable gain” of 39 to 51 seats.
At the lowest point, this outcome would give Republicans 245 seats with a majority of 55. At the top end, the GOP could have 265 seats with a majority of 95.
Democrats currently hold a majority with 220 to 212 seats and three vacancies.
The poll does not bode well for Democrats in the Senate either. Democrats have put up a veneer of optimism, hoping to maintain the current 50/50 status quo, giving Kamala Harris the tie-breaking vote.
The Democracy Institute poll suggests that likely voters favor Republicans by 49% to 46%.
This outcome would give Republicans up to 54 seats in the Senate, with Democrats dropping to 46.
In 2016, Basham’s Democracy Institute had said: “The new poll finds Trump establishing a clear lead over Clinton, 50 percent to 45 percent, among decided voters. The outcome nevertheless remains in doubt, as an unusually large number of undecided voters (10 percent) could yet swing the election Clinton’s way, although their eventual, disproportionate support for Trump is the more probable development.”
The best thing about the Senate.. the NEXT election we are expected to do even BETTER in the Senate!! we could get a Fillibuster proof majority in two years!
I am NOT counting any chickens until at least Friday.
I’d love to see our side top that “81 million” chumps who voted for Jo Jo.
If they managed to pick up an additional 10 more seats in the Senate and turf the turtle, they could get conservative legislation through, though not over a veto.
Checks and balances are very effective. Too bad the other side is the only one that seems to know how to use them.
Yes, do not count your chickens until they cross the road...............
Wait until tonight when the announce that OZ is up by 4%...oh, but we are still waiting for the numbers out of Philly. They at 7pm, Walker is ahead, but for some reason Atlanta has not yet reported.
If the cheating can be countered by sheer numbers, one of our first tasks MUST BE to address and prevent future Democrat cheating.
Does anybody actually believe this horse dookey? The House victory will be narrower than that, and the Senate will be up in the air, thanks to fraud and millions of Democrat voters.
No polling done of the corrupt big blue election machine operators in every major US city. I will give them the results they would have gotten had they took the time.
Democracy killing, corrupt, anti American, racist, fraudulent votes to be manufactured, still 100% democrat. America, 0%.
There could be a Red Tsunami in terms of votes cast and a blue victory in terms of votes counted.
They don't do the 'not reported' thing any more. They just salt the numbers with 'mail in ballots' in the days following the election.
Everyone says Brian Kemp is going to be re-elected Governor of Georgia... but Stacey Abrams Fraud Machine is still in place and active. I expect her to pull it out with fraud.
That’s the payoff Kemp got for covering up election fraud. He gets to keep his job despite the deep state deeply favoring that fat hippo.
One big problem: McConnell is not going anywhere.
The GOP refuses to ditch him.
The democrats count more votes than there are people in some counties. So don’t count on too many victories.
Considering the dems will do absolutely ANYTHING to retain power, nothing should be taken for granted.
Now today, watch a barrage of “media” and university polls blast out, showing dems in laughably sizable leads, especially in the Senate races, as they work the “amazing democrat rebound over the final weekend” narrative.
Watch for it… they’ll claim Fetterman, Hassan, Kelly, Cortez-Masto, Warnock, Barnes and others in leads of 4% or more. They do this sh*t every time.
Please Lord let it be so.
Dems are sure to steal.....but they have been so discredited of late...... they are largely ignored.
.....even the Border Patrol was emboldened to shoot pepper balls at invaders recently........
driving them back with nary a peep from “compassionate Dems.”
We shall proceed as usual.
Mastriano is the most important race. He is the only one that could clean up filthy PA elections.
