The growing warning signs for Democrats in 2022
Washington Post via msn ^ | 10/20/22 | Aaron Blake - Yesterday 2:21 PM

For months, Democrats’ polling gains, strong special-election performances and surprising leads in key Senate races have come with important caveats.

Those caveats? The party that holds the presidency loses the vast majority of midterms, and the fundamentals — both President Biden’s approval rating and perceptions of the economy — still pointed to a tough 2022. What’s more, the polls have been off in recent elections (usually overestimating Democrats’ prospects when they are) — and what happens if and when Republican-oriented voters come home to candidates they might not love?

It appears to be happening. And those caveats now appear in effect, with the GOP’s chances of winning both chambers growing.

A Monmouth University poll released Thursday is the latest to suggest the 2022 election is moving in the GOP’s direction. It shows Republicans with a four-point lead on the question of which party American adults prefer to run Congress. That’s the GOP’s best showing since May — before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Republicans also lead by six points among registered voters, specifically.

And it’s not the only one. Other high-profile media polls which test the generic ballot — that is, would you prefer a generic Democrat or a generic Republican — have also shown a modest shift in the GOP’s direction. And FiveThirtyEight’s average of generic ballot polls now favors Republicans for the first time since early August.

Maybe if Joe didn't worship the Green Lobby, the Dems might be doing okay. But now they're paying a price.

If they want to go green, so be it. But they are not even willing to build nuclear plants. So they are not being logical.

Therefore we have to do this the hard way.

AAAaahg!!! WTF is that thing???

If I had to guess, I’d guess it’s a stroked-out progressive union thug running for some office it thinks it’s entitled to possess, regardless of merit.

Agreed. What are all of us Freepers doing to help out with this election?

As for me, I gave some $$ to my CA Senate GOP candidate and I’m canvassing for a local school board MAGA candidate. If he wins he will be the LONE voice of reason in my SF East Bay school district.

I also hang out with him for 3 hours every Sat at our local Farmers Market, talking to voters. I’ve never met him before this election season and I’ll likely never talk to him again after elected. It doesn’t matter. I’m working for him now.

We ALL should be doing something and not just giving $$. It takes volunteers. . .let’s keep our shoulders to the wheel.

Agree. Need votes and poll watchers due to the fraud.

Once again, polls reset themselves before an election so the push pollers dont look like fakes and liars.

“Work like you’re two chambers and 10 million votes behind!”

Yes, because we are likely 10 millions votes behind just on the basis of their phony, fraudulent tactics.

One way to address vote fraud is to impose a 10-year prison term for each conviction.

And when it is done with a biological attack from a foreign government as a cover for massive mail-in ballot fraud, it meets the definition of treason, for which the death penalty is authorized by statute.

If the trend is good for Republicans, sounds like it’s time for Lindsey Graham to say something really stupid to stop that trend.

Whenever somebody says or writes how Xiden “doesn’t know electric cars, solar, and wind are impractical,” I always try to correct them: OF COURSE he (and the cabal that stole the election for him) knows that! It’s part of the plan! They want to take cars, meat, and single family homes away from us 99% and replace those things with bicycles, soy, and inner city, high rise barracks or “pods.”

The climate scam isn’t about electric cars, “green energy,” or even “saving the planet.” It’s a conspiracy to impoverish the middle class and replace it with compliant third world “migrants” who work cheap and do what they’re told.

Speaking of growing warning signs, wondering how Fetterman’s undeveloped twin is doing on the back of his neck.

The GOP was always up. This close to the election the gaslighting pollsters and MSM have to put out real information to maintain some cred . Like I said the gaslighting about this election is over.
