Democrats’ lead over Republicans on the generic congressional ballot now stands at 1 point with just three weeks left until Election Day, according to a Politico-Morning Consult poll released on Wednesday.

Forty five percent of registered voters in the new survey said they would vote for the Democratic candidate in their congressional district, compared to the 44 percent who would cast their ballots for the Republican.

Another 11 percent in the poll said they don’t know who they would vote for or had no opinion.

Democrats’ lead on the generic congressional ballot has ticked down in recent weeks, as the party has lost some of the traction it gained over the summer, leading some to worry that Democrats peaked too soon for the midterm elections.

Must be a lot of people voting to do fun things with their naughty parts if Democrats are indeed ahead.

Their last poll had D+4, and they are STILL using an RV screen, which is LAUGHABLE.

When RCP updates their poll, the GOP Generic ballot lead will increase.

Writing for Politico these days must be like being the last holdouts in the basement of the Maripol steelworks listening to the artillery dropping around you.

CNN this morning. Female hosts asks guest Why youth won’t for Dems as they made marijuana legal? As if that’s all youth care about.

MSNBC Joe astonished Republicans won’t continue to fund Ukraine. Kevin Mccarthy will give Russia Europe, says Joe and his Ho.

FOX. Inflation. Crime. Leading concern of folks.

DEMS FEAR EXTINCTION

‘The brand is so toxic’: Dems fear extinction in rural US

John Fetterman, arrives for a campaign stop at the Mechanistic Brewery, in Clarion, Pa., Saturday, Feb. 12, 2022.

SMETHPORT, Pa. (AP) — Some Democrats in rural Pennsylvania are afraid to tell you they’re Democrats.

The party’s brand is so toxic in the small towns 100 miles northeast of Pittsburgh that some liberals have removed bumper stickers and yard signs and refuse to acknowledge publicly their party affiliation. These Democrats are used to being outnumbered by the local Republican majority, but as their numbers continue to dwindle, those who remain are feeling increasingly isolated and unwelcome in their own communities.

“The hatred for Democrats is just unbelievable,” said Tim Holohan, an accountant based in rural McKean County who recently encouraged his daughter to get rid of a pro-Joe Biden bumper sticker. “I feel like we’re on the run.”

The climate across rural Pennsylvania is symptomatic of a larger political problem threatening the Democratic Party heading into the November elections. Beyond losing votes in virtually every election since 2008, Democrats have been effectively ostracized from the overwhelmingly white parts of rural America, leaving party leaders with few options to reverse a cultural trend that is redefining the political landscape.

Clarion County, Pennsylvania, voted 3-1 for Trump over Hillary in 2016 and 2-1 for Romney over Obama in 2012. Not exactly a Democrat stronghold.

Yeah sure, if you poll 15 points more Democrat/communists, go away.

Obviously, the pollsters have factored in their first-hand knowledge of the ongoing Soros-Bezos operation...

CORRECT!! Never, ever, EVER underestimate the ability of the STUPID PARTY (Republicans) to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Politico is a bag of dog manure. The Hill is three bags.

Good! Now the Libs up there know how their neighbors feel when they get thrown off Facebook or thrown out of a school board meeting. That's far more serious than a campaign yard sign or a bumper sticker extolling the alleged virtues of one Joe Biden.
