Fox’s Kudlow Flips Out as Polls Show Democrats Leading Key Senate Races: ‘Oh Come On!’

Fox Business host Larry Kudlow said he does not believe polls showing Democratic Senate candidates running well ahead of their Republican opponents.

In Tuesday’s midterm elections, Republicans are expected to lose their narrow House majority and possibly the Senate, where the GOP holds a 53-47 lead. Democrats would need to net four seats to retake the chamber after losing it two years ago. President Donald Trump is widely unpopular, and two-thirds of Americans believe the country is in decline. On Monday’s Kudlow, the host reminded viewers that voters vote, not polls.

“One reason I can’t wait for this midterm election to be over is that virtually every media outlet I know – not everyone, but virtually everyone I know – is telling me that polls vote,” Kudlow said. “‘It’s a blue wave. Every Republican senator’s gonna lose. Every Republican House member’s gonna lose.'”

The host then turned his attention to a slew of New York Times/Siena polls released on Sunday. The surveys show Democratic Senate candidates leading all seven swing states, including Kansas, which has not elected a Democrat to the U.S. Senate since 1932. Kudlow particularly took issue with the polling data in Michigan, where Democrat Abdul El-Sayed is facing Republican Mike Rogers, in Maine, where Democrat Troy Jackson is looking to unseat Sen. Susan Collins, and Texas, where Democratic state Rep. James Talarico is trying to defeat Attorney General Ken Paxton.

Kudlow said:

According to The New York Times/Siena poll, Democrats lead by 11 in the Michigan race. Pause right there. Just hang on a second. Really? Because Democrat Congresswoman Haley Stevens just endorsed Republican Mike Rogers. So, she’s probably taking at least a third of the Democratic Party away from El-Sayed? The former Michigan Democratic Party chair has told people to stay home. But the intrepid New York Times is still giving it to El-Sayed by 11? Oh come on! Come on!

Democrats are up by seven in Texas, according to the Times. No, they’re not. They’re not. They’re not up by seven. You know it and I know it. Democrats are up by six in the Maine Senate race. Please. Stop already. Susan Collins always wins. You can’t be up by six points anyway. And then five each in Ohio and Kansas, two historically red states.

The Fox host offered a silver lining, as the Times noted that Republicans are winning late-deciding voters by nine percentage points.

“Nine,” he continued. “That’s a lot. This is according to the very same poll. And then they say white liberals, white liberals who are about 30% likelier to take the poll than registered white Republicans. Let me run that by. White liberals, 30% likelier to answer the poll. Well, then, heck, who else are we talking about here? Nobody else is going to talk to those white liberals.”
