Rep. Chris Pappas (D-N.H.), one of seven openly gay members of the U.S. House, has been found in a surprise poll made public Thursday to be trailing his Republican challenger in the 2020 election. The poll, conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center between Oct. 24-31, found 50 percent of likely voters in New Hampshire’s 1st congressional district would back Matt Mowers, the Republican candidate, compared to the 48 percent who said they support Pappas. Two percent said they back Libertarian candidate Zachary Dumont and less than 1 percent were undecided...

So weird to understand polls after so many have voted.

Depends on the state, how many have voted as a percentage in that state already...

And even then, who knows how many dems voted for the R ticket this time?

But good news nonetheless

With the massive enthusiasm gap Trump’s coattails could help in close races all over America. Very few people vote a split ticket anymore so people who don’t even know the GOP candidate will vote for them just because they came to vote for Trump and anyone else with an R next to their name.

Except the polls were fake all along like we’ve been saying here at FR for months. Trump talks about it at every campaign stop.
The pollsters are just trying to cover their butts.

Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me :)

BUT after the last debate which Trump ROCKED, a lot of people did go online to see how to change their votes.

That’s why no voting should be done until election day.

I wonder if anyone actually changed their vote and how hard it is to do if you voted by mail.

So if this is the case in NH, why can’t Trump win in 2020? He only lost by 3k votes last time.

A liberal will tell you this means one of three things.

1. The people polled are homophobic.
2, The poll questions are homophobic.
3. The pollsters themselves are homophobic.

No way could the Republican simply be the better candidate.

Barney Frank looked disgusting—nipples protruding—in his blue shirt before Congress. Very very disrespectful!!

So...the presumption is that the sodomite always wins, because he’s a sodomite?

Is this where we are?
