Optimistic Democrats insist the polls are wrong
The Hill ^ | 11/03/2022 | HANNA TRUDO

Posted on 11/03/2022 2:14:09 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Every election has its holdouts who predict polling and conventional wisdom leading up to the big vote is way off. This year, the optimism caucus has to work overtime for Democrats.

With less than a week to go until Election Day, most Democrats are bracing for potentially huge defeats — including losing one or both chambers of Congress — but some in the party aren’t willing to concede anything just yet.

“I don’t believe the GOP is headed for any kind of a wave,” said Angelo Cocchiaro, a Democratic Party activist based in Virginia. “The polls show tight races nationwide. I’m expecting Dems [to] pick up a few seats in the Senate, and in the House,” he added. “A historically close result.”

These are the articles you get, when you know you are getting trounced... Trying to keep (dem) turnout up, and save a few floundering souls.

Patrick Basham (Dem Pollster/strategist, who predicted Trump victory and others), says it is between a Red Wave and a Red Tsunami.. he says R’s will get around 255 seats in the house, but could go higher.

I believe nothing until the voter fraud has been accounted for and the counting stops after Election Day.
<p.
My prediction is there will be at least a few seats expected to go GOP as part of a wave/tsunami that will end up DEM.

Hollywood and elitist PACs have plowed millions into Dem campaigns, so they are reluctant to admit defeat.

Confirmation Bias:

A confirmation bias is cognitive bias that favors information that confirms your previously existing beliefs or biases.

Democrats also insist that a man can birth a baby, so there’s that.

255 seats...

We need enough to neuter the likes of my congress critter Brian Fitzpatrick. I take glee in walking to the Republican table outside my polling place and asking: “How do I vote for every Republican except Brian Fitzpatrick?”.

We need a big enough majority to take all power away from the RINO’s.

Democrats are probably right. Most of the polls are absolute garbage. It’s just that they don’t fully know how ugly it is going to be for them on Tuesday night. They are going to get a democracy suppository.

I hope with all my heart Dems are massively defeated everywhere across the country, even in so-called Dem strongholds, but I have trouble being optimistic.

Most polls are wrong, but usually show less Republican support then what shows up on election.
So the results will be even worse for Dems than the worst polls!

Polling is a settled science. These people are science deniers.

They are wrong — they are underestimating the chances of Republicans.
