Forty six percent of registered voters said they will vote for Democratic candidates in the midterm elections, a 3-point lead over Republicans, according to a Politico-Morning Consult poll released on Wednesday.

The pollster has asked the question weekly as the elections approach, with Democrats holding a slight lead in each iteration for more than a month.

Forty three percent in the latest poll indicated support for Republicans, while 12 percent said they didn’t know or had no opinion.

A majority of voters — 53 percent — who ranked the economy as their No. 1 issue favored Republicans, with 34 percent of those respondents supporting Democrats.

Voters who ranked energy, education, health care, Medicare or Social Security as their top problem, however, favored Democrats.

Just the fags at the far far left Politico trying to cheer themselves up.

Actually it’s +5/6 R

[jdege]

Real Clear Politics lists all the polls. The last 8 show R+3, D+1, D+3, D+1, R+1, R+5, R+1, R+2.

The running average shows R+0.7.

Generally, the polling favors Dems. D+3 in the polling usually means tied in the election.

AGAIN, The Hill! A propaganda arm of the DNC.

NONSENSE!

This stat has been all over the place in recent weeks.

Which one should you believe?

NONE of them!

Awww Geez......this is getting ridiculous. It’s a real shame when political rags whore themselves out for the sake of election deceit.

[newzjunkey]

Don’t be surprised if GOP don’t retake congress and underperform.

[TexasFreeper2009]

We are ahead by about 1 in the averages.

I don’t understand how the Hill is even surviving.

[FLT-bird]

Pollutico polls are a joke.

[Jeff Chandler]

When I get a phone call from a pollster, I hang up without saying a word.

[MikeyB806]

I’m a former Democrat, and when I get polled asking who I am voting for, I always enthusiastically answer with the Democrat candidate. I like surprise election results.

[Luke21]

Spilled my coffee laughing. The Hill commie piggies in overdrive today. The favored publication of Free Republic.

[Luke21]

And Hispanics going to Republicans result in a big Democrat swing. Hoo yeah. Pass the Kool-aid.

According to Wikipedia:

The company was founded as a newspaper in 1994 by Democratic power broker and New York businessman Jerry Finkelstein and Martin Tolchin, a former correspondent for The New York Times. New York Representative Gary L. Ackerman was also a major shareholder.

Doesn't sound very trustworthy to me.

Keep posting this garbage that makes you laugh so hard.

Someone has had a peek at the lines of trucks and vans already loaded with Soros-Bezos funded already completed ballots...

At 4 AM on Nov 7th, these will mysteriously appear just as they did in 2020...

(oldtech): but I have to think that any folks with any common sense will NOT vote Democrat this time around.

(FlipWilson) They put their polls out not to reflect, but to influence public opinion.

I agree with you both. I've just come to believe that we are now enveloped in a constant 24/7 manipulation scheme. The polls ARE out to influence public opinion. But, perhaps it works. The poll is enough to feed the media, which blabs on about the polls, which rockets over to multiple biased social media platforms, which manipulates the gullible public, which turns into a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Everywhere you turn you can see people getting riled up and manipulated to think in one way or another. Technology has allowed us to manipulate on a scale never seen before.

It's getting more and more difficult to believe that common sense will prevail. I suppose I'll hold out hope.

I saw the Real clear politics guy yesterday and he said the Republicans are ahead and have the momentum.

In which country? Not here. Go away and come back with a single issue the rodents support that voters support- open borders? inflation-? Crime-? teaching CRT in schools? Oh how about forcing our daughters to compete with men in sports?

You say? REALY? Go for it.

The Hill LIES.
