47’s polling numbers updated today - mid terms looking suspect according to the economist

Donald Trump is unpopular. His net approval rating—the share of people who think that he is doing a good job minus the share who think he’s performing badly—is -21. But that number masks an asymmetry.
Of the Americans who approve of Mr Trump, half do so “strongly” while the other half are “somewhat” positive about him. Critics are more passionate: almost 90% of them disapprove of Mr Trump “strongly”. Americans’ views of the economy largely explain why the president is unpopular. Most rate it as “fair” or “poor”. And more reckon it is getting worse than believe it is getting better. That pessimism could hurt the Republicans in November’s midterm elections. Thirty-four per cent of Americans trust them more than the Democrats to run the economy, but 40% think that the Democrats would do better. Our forecasting model gives Democrats a 19 in 20 chance of winning the House of Representatives. The Senate is a toss-up.

NYTSienna has him at 37% though
Hope we can hold Congress.
27

Seats are so gerrymandered that there’s maybe 60 seats, tops, out of 435 which are really up for grabs each cycle.
And the redrawing of districts unlocked by the Louisiana case over the 6th district has flipped a number of Dem safe seats into the Republican safe seats and/or toss up columns.

Predictably stupid response

Trump warned us that if Kamala got elected, we’d have a war with Iran. Thank goodness that never happened!

Welp that's it! Guys I guess we should give up and just let democrats open the borders and let men in women's locker rooms again.

My prediction is the GOP gets a 6 seat majority in the house and 3 seat majority in the Senate, but flips several seats from anti-Trump to pro-Trump republicans.

That’s not the point. We are discussing the news. Like adults.

Stupid, clearly-false polls don't require intelligent responses.

If this drives voter turnout - and it’s reasonable to suggest it could - it’s going to be close.

They're clearly false to you because you don't like the results
That's the gist of it and everyone knows it except for you

Yet Letlow will win republican nomination because Trump says to vote for her.

Report the numbers on Congress and on the Democratic Party.
Trump numbers are down. The other two are worse. That is the real news.
