We're down in the polls but up in registrations. Maybe it's difficult to poll us. We have to outperform the polls and maybe we will.

To reference a legendary Boston politician, "vote often and early for James M. Curley."

[American Infidel]

Registration advantage is great, but if Republicans remain complacent and don’t show up to vote, it is meaningless.

[Erik Latranyi]

Yes, it is all about turnout and our side SUCKS at this.

We get so complacent when we hold the White House, not showing up for the midterms.

[Melinda in TN]

Yes, I get two or three calls a day from pollsters and hang up. Hopefully our side doesn’t answer polls.

Overseas Soldiers Receive Seemingly Fraudulant Ballots Allowing Them To Vote for Democrats Only https://realrawnews.com/2026/10/oversees-soldiers-receive-seemingly-fraudulant-ballots-allowing-them-to-vote-for-democrats-only/ Travis County Clerk Dyana Limon-Mercado hung up on RRN when we called her office to inquire about the ballots. Democrats and liberals rule Travis County. The county judge, Andy Brown, is a close friend of Barack Hussein Obama, and all 11 members of Austin’s city council are lifelong Democrats.

Pollsters are liberals. They take names. They sell information.

We don't talk to pollsters for the same reason we don't put bumper stickers on our cars... or political signs in our yards. The same reason Charlie Kirk wouldn't allow pubic pictures of his children's faces. The same reason we fear for President Trump's life... the same reason Jews will start fearing showing their religion soon.

Anyone who doesn't understand the above is a democrat - a crazy - a violent bully... a clueless delusional liberal 'elite' - a person who cheers on assassins who kill conservatives...

Exactly!

These happy little “+” numbers are comparisons to..... 2018?

Why not something a tad more recent?

GOP registrations are up (not nearly by the amounts which are being cherry-picked here) in recent years, but that effect was not evident whatsoever in the 2026 primaries.

Also, those differentials are relative to Democrat registrations only (Rats are almost, but not quite, as despised as Republicans these days) and say nothing about the ***MASSIVE*** amount of voters who are registered in neither party.

They vote too, and HOW they vote is going to be just a wee bit significant in a few weeks.

Bingo spot on

[Bayard]

Same. I get texts and just spam filter it.

Polsters have gotten so lazy in the past 20 years.

Just my two cents on that.

[af_vet_1981]

Maybe it's difficult to poll us.

I no longer participate in polls.

[DeplorableTrumpSupporter]

I’m voting as if my kids depends on it, because it is. My kids can’t vote, yet (11 more years for the oldest), but I can and I’ll vote for the Sanest person on the ballot.

[Melinda in TN]

I answered one when Obama ran the first time and the pollster got really testy and cranky with me when I said I was voting Republican down the line and no way I was voting for Obama. That was the last time I answered the phone.

[wiseprince]

Well maybe if Republican politicians didn’t suck they wouldn’t have to worry about that. Since Trump 2(3) elections maybe they should have tried listening to what Trump was saying, at least for a year, and push through everything he campaigned on. They didn’t. They spend cycle after cycle fighting Trump which is basically fighting 77 million people who bought into what he was selling. They didn’t try for even 6 months to push through what Trump obviously won on. If they lose it’s because they deserved to lose. The country and in particular Trump voters deserved to have his ideas and policies tried. Before you tell me about Tariff this and tariff that remember he had to do that with a hand tied behind his back because Repukes have be hoping since day one that he would fail with that and Canada and Britain and Mexico and Europe could continue to do whatever they wanted. Their has be no Republican support for Trump or his ideas. They made their bed; unfortunately the rest of the country is going to have to lay in it.

Drivel

There was the largest tax cut in American history passed by Republicqans in the House and Senate.

The Save Ameria act was passed by the Republican House 6 or 7 times but lacked the votes to pass the Senate.

You are just biased and wrong

[Fresh Wind]

This year, I seem to be getting more political junk mail than ever before. I’m sure the phone and text junk is just as prolific, but I have most of that blocked.

That happened to me too - the person doing the poll was unset I wasn't agreeing with her position. It was the last poll I took part in too. In the ways thugs can do intimidation, democrats do intimidations. Sometimes I watch the idiot guests (from the Atlantic, Politico, etc) on Morning Joe wallowing in their 'amazing poll numbers' and wonder how they can be so clueless.

I'm guessing if the same type of pollsters we have today polled in Germany leading up to our entering World War II they would be surprised how few Jews took part in their polls. Or maybe they'd just be surprised how many Germans agreed with them about issues and how few Jews had political signs in their yards and windows. Break a few eggs or break glass windows and you get the same 'cancelled' type of non-responses...
