When working Americans see their take-home pay get eviscerated by inflation, the last thing they want to hear about is abortion rights. The same goes for those struggling to pay their grocery, electric, or gas bills—the economic recession is hammering American families while Democrats are bogged down in liberal trivialities. And besides abortion, the two other issues Democrats are most worried about this cycle are global warming and the Jan. 6 riot.
The latest polls indicate a red tsunami, a rapid turn of events given that some GOP operatives were about to jump off the Capitol Dome by late August. The Democratic advantage with women has been erased, compounding this game of election Tetris, where Democrats search for voter blocs to blunt a wipeout—they can’t. Currently, 40 percent of Hispanics and 21 percent of black Americans intend to pull levers for the GOP on Election Day:(via Axios)
A new USA Today/Suffolk University poll of likely voters found Republicans hold a four-point lead on the congressional generic ballot (49%-45%), marking a turnaround from the July polling, when Democrats led by four points.
Most of the 16% of voters who were undecided ended up breaking toward supporting Republican candidates, according to the poll. Only 6% remain undecided.
Why it matters: Perhaps even more concerning for Democrats than the overall numbers was the party's slippage with nonwhite voters. The poll found 40% of Hispanic voters supporting Republicans, with 21% of African American voters backing the GOP.
In 2020, Trump won 37% of the Hispanic vote and 10% of the Black vote, according to analysis from the Democratic data firm Catalist.
If these numbers hold, it could be a brutal night for Democrats, who have only themselves to blame. They wasted valuable time pushing an agenda that only caters to less than a quarter of the electorate. The urban-based elites can’t save congressional majorities, and it’s even more disturbing that the party writ large decided to write off the concerns about inflation and the economic recession. Even worse, the Biden White House chose to ignore quarterly financial reports entirely,gaslighting the national media regarding the definition of a recession as well. It’s always been two consecutive quarters of economic contraction—it doesn’t change just because you’re Democrats or abject failures regarding governing.
It must be nice to soak up the inflation spike and wallow all day about things that don’t matter. The Democratic base is not geared toward finding common ground on the issues nor caring about those less fortunate than the wealthy, educated, white elites that dominate the rank-and-file. There are no working people in the liberal base anymore, and the whitewash that’s occurred is costing them, as more and more nonwhite voters are beginning to lean Republican, especially on issues like the economy and crime.

There is no indication that Biden can do the job now. Do you think he can turn things around in 2024, win back the groups he claimed four years ago, and get the economy back on track with an inflationary spending agenda? No way. Expect Democratic infighting about him running again in 2024 once the GOP retakes Congress. For now, polling shows liberals are bleeding out of their eyes with every significant voting bloc they once coveted before white progressives decided to be complete morons on election messaging.
Excellent.
VOTE DEMOCRATS OUT.
Although the best thing that could happen this election is for Democrats to be overwhelmingly repudiated across the country, I’m not very optimistic that will happen. The reason is I don’t believe polls no matter what they claim; no matter if they are positive or negative for our side.
“The latest polls indicate a red tsunami, a rapid turn of events given that some GOP operatives were about to jump off the Capitol Dome by late August…”
I have no doubt this is true because “GOP operatives” are a bunch of feckless cowards and p*****s. Anyone with a lick of sense knew the rat bump was largely a media/pollster fiction and, to the extent that it was real, represented peaking way too soon
The big thing polls are ignoring is indie numbers. Trafalgar et al routinely poll under 10% indie in states that have 30% turnout of indies, and indies are set to vote heavily republican. Who knows how many Ds will flip over as well, but I’m sure it’s quite less.
Obviously a threat to someone’s twisted version of democracy.
Believe it when I see it. The harvesters will be out and about.
Great description. They focus on things not important to voters. In addition to the economy, we've got the wide-open southern border, the invasion of THREE MILLION illegals this year alone, and the feckless Biden foreign policy that brought us to Armageddon's door step.
Yet, the Dems refuse to give up those trivialities. They just can't let them go.
What happened to #4: Orange Man Bad? Or is that just subsumed by Jan. 6?
Need to consider the cheat factor. Vote. Vote. Vote.
they’ll just Stop The Counting and manufacture votes...

The issue with Indies is their turnout in off-year elections.
They are more unpredictable than party regulars.
That may be why Trafalgar underpolls them this year.
I am convinced the bigger issue is poll refusals by folks who don’t want to be doxxed, canceled or on some Deep State target list.
Those voters (how many I do not know and can’t figure out how to tell) will all vote Republican.
One can hope :)
GOP New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu told NBC’s Chuck Todd when he repeatedly asked about Republican “election deniers” running for office: “You’re in a bubble, man.”
“You are in a bubble if you think anybody’s talking about what happened in 2020 or talking about Mar-a-Lago and all that,” Sununu said. “People are talking about what is happening in their pocketbooks every single day when they have to buy groceries or fill up gas.”
“It kind of has baffled me through this whole campaign season, the fact that Democrats keep pushing this stuff and talking about things that aren’t really what voters want to hear about.”

Wanna make Democrats heads explode? HR 1 - Citizenship and Border Wall Act of 2023. Build the wall. Grant citizenship to all non-criminal aliens. Deport all criminal aliens. We
The polls can’t tell us how much election fraud there will be. The pollsters are unable to poll the dead.
Come January, when Republicans take over the House majority, the Jan 6 Orange Man bad investigations end and the Hunter Biden laptop Big Guy bad investigations begin. That one I will be looking forward too
