We've been seeing a lot of polling numbers lately as we get closer to the midterms. Normally, the advantage goes to the political party out of power. But there are a variety of reasons to think positively about the question if you are a Republican.

Saw this early in the morning but decided not to post it. Knew it would get posted eventually :)

That being said this should deflate all the pearl clutching FRs. Not that I trust the polls, I don’t.

Just goes to show once again all the polls are about creating opinion and inflating liberals, not actually to inform. Once again, the polls magically get better for republicans the close we get to election, gee almost like they were being manipulated from the start.

I’d wouldn’t want to see the knockout punch this year. ‘28 would be best. A new POTUS set for 8 years and more importantly the 2030 census will be in our favor and more ACCURATE.

I think if the DNC loses Senate and House (which is VERY possible), you’re going to see the DSA basically ditch them and start a 3rd party, which is going to be awesome. I do completely understand the sentiment though, as the DNC will use any win to impeach Trump about 1000 times before 2028.

Sorry Republicans have to always be afraid and anxious. That way they will vote.

The Harvard Crimson thinks that the Harvard/Harris poll is Right Wing biased.

Harvard Should Break up With the Harris Poll

Nice, but the spending hasn’t begun in earnest and the media will rally their troops.

Senator Thune is the proverbial turd in the punch bowl. He is making things far more difficult than necessary.

Because Thune is worse than a RINO, he is a liberal plant.

A lot of these polls are run by lefties who want to discourage Republicans from voting by fudging the numbers giving the Dem the edge. RE: Talarico and El-Sayed.

Remember these same polls gave Hillary Clinton a 99% chance of winning on the morning of the election in 2016 - and predicted a “blow out” for that Hong character that ran in Michigan: “polls showed Hong leading by as much as 20 points.”

She and Hillary both lost.

The internal polls run by political parties and major PACs and campaigns are different. Such polls are expensive, reliable, and closely held.

Republicans aren’t exactly giving anyone a reason to vote for them based on policy.

The Left is a bunch of commies may be true, but you can’t rely on that as a campaign issue. Give us a REASON to vote for you.
