EXCLUSIVE: Republicans Within Striking Distance in Deep-Blue Los Angeles District, Spelling Trouble for House Dems
https://freebeacon.com ^ | SEP 27, 2022 | COLLIN ANDERSON

Republican congressional hopeful Matt Jacobs is within striking distance of his incumbent Democratic opponent in a deep-blue Los Angeles district, a revelation that could force the Democratic Party to spend a race they expected to win handily.

Jacobs, a former federal prosecutor, trails five-term congresswoman Julia Brownley (D., Calif.) by just 4.8 points in California's 26th Congressional District, a September OnMessage poll obtained exclusively by the Washington Free Beacon shows. While President Joe Biden won that district by a whopping 25 points two years ago, independent voters have since soured on Democrats as Americans face record-high inflation. Jacobs, for example, holds a 10-point lead over Brownley with independents, according to the poll. The survey also found that Brownley's unfavorable rating has climbed 5 points since March.

Those findings will likely alarm House Democrats, who expected to cruise to victory in the liberal district, which includes portions of Los Angeles County. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee does not include Brownley on its list of vulnerable members, and election handicapper Cook Political Report does not consider Brownley's district to be competitive. But OnMessage's September poll shows otherwise, meaning Democrats could be forced to commit resources to defend Brownley as their partisan counterparts go on offense. The National Republican Congressional Committee added Brownley to its target list in March and is working to flip four other seats.

Republicans have reason to believe they can win in once-longshot Golden State districts. According to a March Public Policy Institute of California poll, just 46 percent of likely California voters approve of Biden, compared with 51 percent who disapprove. Those numbers marked a 19-point skid in just one year—in a 2021 poll from the same group. Four California Republicans, meanwhile, flipped blue seats to red in 2020, even as Biden won the state by 29 points...

4.8 might as well be 90. This is one of those false hope pieces

Been reading about tight races in democrat states for a couple of months.

Certainly sounds like a wave election.

No it’s not false hope. A 15 point drop in democrat support nationwide would mean big gains for Republicans.

We’ll see.

Kommiefornia has perfected the art of the steal and voter fraud. The Repugnant Party has been finished there for years.

False hope?

Sure 4.8 is still not going to get it done and sure this is a district where there will be lawless voter fraud but a 4.8 point difference here suggestions that the Dems will lose big nationally at least where there is no fraud.

Lots of people who ‘do not look like America’ (meaning whites) in that district - Republicans may just have a chance, particularly if they have some local control of the balloting./

If that is the case the GOP needs to learn how to use those drop boxes two can play at that game and once we start winning the drop boxes will be ruled illegal as they should be

Mexicans will be the majority of voters in LA county. Mexicans have racially cleansed a number of LA communities that were formerly black. Remember Watts? Watts is now 74% Mexican.

I’m guessing that LA Mexicans will turn out in large enough numbers to protect LA County Sheriff Alex Villanueva from the racist, white, BLM females on the county board. The commie females have been attacking Mexicans for the past two years.

If LA County falls to the Mexicans, the white power structure in CA, including Newsome, is in deep doo-doo.
