The liberal Navigator public tracking poll flashed a major warning sign for Democrats in mid-October, reporting a 20 percentage point jump since September in the share of independent voters concerned about the economy and gas prices.
That was not the only data showing a turning of the tide in the battle for Congress. Regional challenges had shown up in internal Democratic polls from deep blue sanctums in the Pacific Northwest, New York and even Rhode Island, Democratic strategists say. Crime, a major focus of Republican advertising, has also risen as a major issue in several races.
Candidates say they have felt the ground shift.
“The economic concern is definitely worse, and I think that is probably part of what has corroded concern about abortion rights,” said Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, 34, a Democratic candidate for Congress in southern Washington State.
Perez is a symbol of the Democratic struggles, fighting in a margin-of-error race against exactly the kind of “ultra-MAGA” candidate Democrats have elevated this year - Republican Joe Kent, who denies the outcome of the 2020 election, argues U.S. Capitol rioters have been mistreated and wants a moratorium on all legal immigration. But Democrats in Washington have not yet been able to invest directly in her race, as they play defense elsewhere on far less favorable issues.
“Anybody in the real world is very concerned about crime, very concerned about the price of groceries,” said Perez, whose own auto-repair shop, in northeast Portland, has been broken into four times in the last year.

Nothing about Biden and his policies. Why not, oh great Wapo?
Totally agree with your clarification. It isn’t all about sex and weirdness.
"We failed to get our message out." (TRANSLATION: "You stupid rubes should have realized that our utopian fantasy that grinds the iron boot of control on the neck of average Americans is the best thing for you.)
Imagine a post election outcome whereas the deepstate has shown itself powerless to overcome the red wave, even with the help of election fraud.
Having lost both chambers, yet the commies still controls the courts (corrupt as they are) and mostly, still control a stolen Executive branch.
They will simply ignore the Constitution and delegate by communistic authority.
Expect a no holds barred lame duck session. One that eliminates the filibuster, packs the SC, which in essence rules the Constitution null and void. This is followed by granting amnesty to illegals, and granting voting rights. Expect deepstate to “depose” of Biden and Harris, as well as a Constitutional order of sucession. I expect during a lame duck session for pelosi’s nephew to be crowned head of state. Dare I even forecast the title? President Gavin Newsom.
We are entering prophetic days and a global stage is being set in motion.
I’m wondering if some Senate seats in New England will flip...
WaPo still flailing at the dead horse of abortion and are amazed that it isn’t working. It is, of course, the voters’ fault, who are too dumb to be led around by their betters in the national media. These idiots never change.
“except mccarthy hates Trump and MAGA”
Maybe. But he will need the Trump and MAGA Republicans to get anything done for two years.
But that does not mean he’ll put Trump in the driver’s seat. He’ll just make preparations for Trump’s eventual coronation in 2024, and not necessarily friendly preparations, all the while hoping he has a macaca moment.
That would be 3 separate mpeachment votes, then three separate trials in the Senate where 67 votes for conviction are required for removal. So, where are the 67 votes for each Senate trial going to come from?
Are the “walls closing in” yet?
Early voting is going to kill him this time
“It’s been back and forth with them ahead, us ahead, them ahead. Back and forth. And the polls have been all over the place. I think that we’re going to see one more shift back to our side in the closing days,” he said at the White House.
You mean the multi millionaire socialist.
Perez owns an auto repair business that been broken into 4 times, yet she is running as a Dem. I wonder if her employees are getting $15/hour, health care, free housing and giving her employees a month vacation time.
they can go engage in immoral sex practices with themselves
They don’t really care. They know that theRepublicans will come up with reasons as to why they can’t reverse what the Rat’s did. Oh the Republicans will go through the motions but in the end, nothing important will be changed.
The problem is that the federal government needs to devolve into nothing except defense, post roads, real money coinage, patents and such. That is about it. Until that happens — no Trump, Desantis or anyone else is going to help. The internal deep state will undo everything until they are sent to Nome AK with the nice office, cot and land phone, no internet.
pick from the usual: ‘white rage,’ (insert word)-phobia, ‘hate,’ ‘misinformation,’ voter suppression, Trump, racism, Trump, sexism, ignorance, Trump, climate change, and trunalimunumaprzure.
Nancy has the polling from the voting machines + cemeteries.
