A recent New
York Times poll revealed that 49% of likely voters are saying
they would vote Republican, while 45% chose Democrats.
The NYT which is the
foremost Democrat mouthpiece obviously lamented these outcomes.
As always when the
Democrats lose they do not introspect, instead the voter is blamed for being
either ignorant or bigoted, or both.
The NYT
carried a piece titled, "Voters See Democracy in Peril, but
Saving It Isn’t a Priority".
The following is a
key excerpt:
"More than a
third of independent voters and a smaller but noteworthy contingent of
Democrats said they were open to supporting candidates who reject the
legitimacy of the 2020 election, as they assigned greater urgency to their
concerns about the economy than to fears about the fate of the
country’s political system."
The article referred
back to the polls revealing that among registered voters, 39% are willing to
vote for "candidates who reject 2020 election results", 18% are
"very" willing, while 21% are "somewhat"
What seems to irk the
NYT is that 78% of registered voters reject the Democrat concoction of an
‘insurrection’.
The poll revealed
that 71% of GOP voters and 12% of Democrats are willing to support ‘election
deniers’.
Among independent
voters, 37% are willing while 15% are "very" willing.
The NYT always brands
MAGA Republicans as election deniers.
Conveniently ignoring
that it was the Democrats who pioneered this practice.
In 2000, the
Democrats claimed that Al Gore was the
real winner of the Presential elections and in 2016, they claimed that
Trump won the election by colluding with the
Russians and hence was an illegitimate president.
All of the above result
rejections were baseless.
But it is unrealistic
to expect a Democrat mouthpiece such as the NYT to be factual.
The NYT poll also
revealed that 28% of voters, including 41% of Republicans, said they had little
to no faith in the accuracy of this year’s midterm elections."
The most interesting
revelation was that 71% of all voters said democracy was at risk, but merely 7%
said it was the most important issue facing the country.
The NYT piece then
states the obvious, that the midterm elections will be defined by rising
inflation and other economic woes.
This must have been a
shock only to those who have lived in insulated Democrat echo chambers.
The NYT seemed
baffled that the public, including some Democrats, had prioritized the
increasing cost of living over the issues they had championed i.e. the 'threat
to democracy' and abortion access.
When the NYT refers
to a threat to democracy, they are referring to the January 6th ‘insurrection’.
They are not referring to Biden calling his political opponent fascists or
Biden’s FBI conducting an unprecedented raid on the home of his foremost
political opponent or even the proposed Disinformation Governance board.
Clearly, their
propaganda is failing. even among their base.
There was more bad
news for Democrats.
The NYT Poll revealed
that 56% of Gen X votes “strongly disapprove” of Biden’s job performance.
The NYT Polls showed
President Trump with the highest approval rating at 42% and the lowest
unfavorable rating among Gen X voters.
Politico declared Gen
X as the “Trumpiest” generation.
The polls show
favorable trends for the GOP-specific races
The likes of John
Fetterman in Pennsylvania and Mandela Barnes in Wisconsin who were once leading
polls by wide margins are now evenly poised against their rivals.
Gubernatorial
contests in Democrat bastions have become suddenly
become competitive.
This included the contest between Democrat Kathy Hochul and Republican Lee Zeldin in New York and in
Oregon between Democrat Tina Kotek and Republican Christine Drazan
According
to FiveThirtyEight’s survey, the Democrat lead has shrunk significantly in
the past month.
The poll cites
specific races.
In Nevada, Sen. Catherine
Cortez Masto (D) dropped from a 61% favorite to a 49% light underdog.
In Wisconsin, Mandela
Barnes had a precipitous fall from about 40% to 27%.
Now for the overall
average poll from Real Clear Politics.
First the
Senate Contests
53 Republican
candidates and 47 Democrat candidates are leading in the average of
all polls in their Senate races. In states such as Arizona, Pennsylvania, and
Georgia the Democrat lead is just around 2%.
Next the
House Contests.
221 Republican House
candidates and 176 Democrat House candidates are leading their House races.
Among the House seats held by Democrats, 32 are competitive while 18 are
leaning toward the GOP. This means the Democrats could lose 50 seats. Among
seats held by the GOP, only 1 leans towards the Democrat and 5 seats are
competitive.
Finally the Gubernatorial
Contests
30 Republican House
candidates and 20 Democrat House candidates are leading their Gubernatorial
races. In Minnesota, Tim Walz leads Scott Jenson by just 2 points. The GOP
could pick up two seats in Nevada and Wisconsin.
What about the
anti-Trump ‘Republicans’?
Colorado Republican
Senate candidate Joe O'Dea who appeared on CNN to say he hopes Trump doesn't
run is trialing an emphatic 7 points behind his GOP rival.
In Utah, there's
independent Senate candidate Evan McMullin who opposed Trump in the state in
2016 and is trailing by 5 points against MAGA Republican Sen. Mike Lee.
In Alaska, staunch
never-Trumper Lisa Murkoski is trailing behind her Democrat rival Kelly
Tshibaka by 8 points.
Why is there such a
sudden shift in polls?
Polls conducted many
months prior to the elections are not meant to reflect public opinion but
rather to shape public opinion and drive down GOP voter enthusiasm.
But as the election
date approaches, the polling firms, looking to salvage their reputation, begin
to reflect the facts about public opinion.
Since most of these
polling groups are pro-Democrats, the races that show the Democrats at a slight
advantage could be regarded as a possible win for the GOP.
The fact that even
the NYT is conceding that the GOP has a slight edge means the GOP is in a very
formidable position.
Now for the important
question, that matter.
What happens after
the elections in January 2023?
Will the Democrats
accept the results?
Will the Democrats
hold violent protests and sit-down protests in Washington and spin yarns of
conspiracy theories to reject the results?
We probably know the
answer to those questions.
Now about the GOP.
Will the Republicans
stand up to the Democrat's conspiracy theories and protests or will they, like
they did in 2017, accept the premise and allow a probe while they relinquish
charge?
Beyond the electoral
race.
Will Mitch McConnell
become Senate Majority Leader and Kevin McCarthy be House Majority Leader or
will they choose bolder and fresher faces?
Will the GOP
proactively take on the Democrats for all of their blatant abuse of power,
their misgovernance, and their corruption?
January 2023 isn’t
that far away.
