Prediction:

GOP picks up 55 House seats. 265 GOP and 170 Dem.

GOP picks up 2 Senate seats. 52 GOP and 48 Dem (46 Dem and 2 Is that caucus with Dems).

I’m not sure I follow your Senate forecast. Currently, the GOP has 50, if they pick up 2 they would have 52. To maintain the 50, either incumbents or open GOP seats are won and no Democrats lose or the GOP loses seats, but offsets those losses with pickups.

Are they taking into consideration where cheating has and hasn't been fixed. If not anyone putting much faith into their forecast will be in for a lot of disappointment.

I thought the GOP had 48. IDK what I was thinking.

No it’s not too early when you have candidates like Walker and Oz. Oz won’t be any better in November than he is now. Walker is an idiot and we won’t be any smarter in November. Those 2 are losses for sure. I don’t think GA was ever in okay due to the demographics. The right candidate might have won in PA. I hate to say it, but I think Trump screwed the pooch with his endorsements.

I'm kind of curious if the polling companies have learned anything after 2016 and 2020. Nate's work will always be reliant on this data.




They are probably tied into Dominions coding algorithms.

Isn't it a logical fallacy to laugh at polls from 2020 and to simultaneously believe the election was stolen? If the election was stolen, of course polls were going to be inaccurate (they were actually pretty good in '20 and Nate was one of the few who gave Trump a shot in '16 but most here don't understand how probabilities work)

I understand this is the narrative.

But, how is Feterman not a terrible candidate?

Guy has never had a real job.
He's a ugly goober looking maaafricka.
His wife was an illegal immigrant.
He's a ticking time bomb with his cardiac issues.

If Republicans can harp on this, no way he can win.

SCOTUS is safe,
SCOTUS is up to the Senate. Not safe unless the Senate changes. Not safe as long as a Dem is president and RINOs are in office in the Senate.

If these SCOTUS decisions don't give dems a bump in the next month, they're in for a slaughtering.

SCOTUS is done for this year...

they need the bump to hold for 4 months

that's an eternity when $5/gal gas and $200-$300/week supermarket bills are staring you in the face over and over and over and over between now and then

(is it any coincidence gas prices are starting to slowly trickle downwards a bit?)

Get Herschel out of his cave just to be seen doing anything would help

I don't care if all he does is UGA chants, it's better than what's going on now. I had hopes he could just run out the clock but that's not working (even though I definitely don't think he's down 10, but he might be down 4-5).
