A shock to whom.?

[MayflowerMadam]

You absolutely cannot believe polls.

The last one that the RATs were fawning over turned out to have been published by a 21-year-old guy, and it was 100% fabricated. Not a person was polled.

Some probably are good, but my mind’s default has to be that they’re all crap. Ignore polls; trust your own gut and research.

[Skwor]

N, the polls gave up trying to lie to us because it was becoming so obvious how fake they were

OR

People finally got to know Talawierdo.

Either way for the FR pearl clutches and lovers of the democrat Coryn, what say you now?

[SmokingJoe]

A shock to legacy media who've been pushing fake pro Talarico polls?

[SisterK]

How is Talaweirdo at 47%?
He is everything that is wrong with our culture.

[Sirius Lee]

Because 47% of the people polled represent everything that is wrong with our culture.

[OrangeHoof]

General election polls aren’t worth paying attention to until September. The recent Talarico “bump” was likely a media invention.

[jimfree]

I’m shocked. The numbers are moving toward the trend and historic pattern. Imagine that!

[SmokingJoe]

He raised far more money than Paxton before.
Now the Musk money for Paxton is starting to come in.

[desertsolitaire]

Good question but how did Desantis run so close in his first Fl Gov run against a total loser for the Dems?
How did Beto get so many votes in TX against Cruz?

[SisterK]

right you are
tis basic math

hopefully the pendulum will swing back and common sense will again be in vogue

[SaveFerris]

(Because 47% of the people polled represent everything that is wrong with our culture.)

THAT is for certain

James Talarico is selling EVIL to voters

[Smittie]

Maybe people are finally getting sick of seeing Howdy Doody’s stupid commercials...

[Ken H]

I’d like to see our side tell its supporters to say they are voting for the opponent. When you see the Dem ahead 80-20, the poll will be known to be worthless.

It’s sorta like blinding enemy satellites.

[Lazamataz]

Paxton was always reliably ahead of Talarico. Only a few spiked polls gave any indication otherwise.

[SaveFerris]

(Howdy Doody’s stupid commercials...)

😀😃😅😂🤣🤣🤣

[Skwor]

Exactly and the FR pearl clutchers dutifully ate it up in their fainting spells over democrat senator Coryn losing in the primaries.

[MtnClimber]

Thune doesn’t seem to be spending any Senate Campaign funds. Like he wants to throw the election. It will just be up to Republican turnout.

[Skwor]

Thune desperately wants to throw the election, he is a snake in the grass, guy is a RINO traitor.
