NEVER trust polls...they are set up to deceive the public

This isn't a poll. It's based on actual early voting data from the Secretary of State's office. Early voting is running ahead of average in Democrat stronghold counties and lagging in Republican stronghold counties.

Also, it's not just the county level data. At the individual voter level, those who typically vote early in those Republican stronghold counties aren't voting early. Could they turn out Tuesday? They could, but it goes against their typical behavior.

It’s also midterms. Trump singlehandly draws voters to the polls. He’s not on the ballot. Some people also don’t care about local and state elections but will overwhelmingly vote in presidential.



Georgia Michigan and Texas senate races are big enough to motivate the coalition if it still exists

Are you kidding me?

He is twice as good as the previous 3 candidates.
But that bar was so insanely low.
Loeffler, Perdue, and Walker were awful.

There should be candidates better than Collins. But he is demonstrably better than the previous lot

Georgia is only 48% white. This is why Georgia flips from red to blue. Demographics is destiny. Coming soon to a State near you.

I agree with Texas, Georgia and Michigan have been blue which may not motivate the right. Example is usually voters in blue states don’t vote because they know they don’t have a chance. Georgia has demoralized voters over the last 10 years. That’s why in my first post I can kind of agree there may be trouble in Georgia with rural voters.

It's not even voting day yet. As it was in 2024 for Trump...the people who vote republican will be out in force.

Minorities aren’t voting at 52% though, Georgia has stolen elections which has put no faith in the voters.

GA is turning blue because it's developing economically.

Better economies mean bigger cites.

Bigger cities mean more DEM voters.

Texas is seeing the same pattern.

What is rapidly becoming an open embrace of the DSA types by the democrat party is what I've been warning about for years. California progressivism has gone national and taken the next step in its radicalization. Newsom did talk about how the DSA is the future. He's one of their frontrunners in '28

I’d like to see stats on local and state DSA representation. Several large city govts have more than fringe representation. There are at least 6 I believe that align with the DSA running on the federal level in this election; still low numbers but trending upward which should be a troubling sign.

You can try to pretend all you want but the conflict in Iran is not resolved and it’s a reminder of Trump pulling an 180 every time an American fills up their tank. You can call it soft. You can call it ignorance. You can call it whatever. The point still remains that it is the single biggest thing that will impact this election cycle. And it is not a positive impact whatsoever on republicans.


All those words and not one described a battle.

Funny how you went from "battles" and "foreign wars" to "conflict." After being called on it, its almost as if you arent sure what's going on over there.

Only MAGA cares about the descriptor language (and they like to ignore how Trump and other admin members have called it a "war").

The moderates and center-right GOP who reject MAGA next week won't care and only care about the consequences of the decisions around Iran, and the lack of transparency and rational communication from the administration about Iran.

The semantics game you keep playing won’t mean much when that arrogance leads to an arse kicking when it actually matters next Tuesday. But congrats on “owning the libs” because there hasn’t been an Omaha beach type invasion in this war.

They don't. The ALSO don't support endless war and spiraling debt.

But, again and again and again, they are asked by the party they are aligned with to support those. And some think that sucks, so they don't vote.

Keep supporting those things - endless war and spiraling debt - and plan to get your arse kicked.

I don't think we're at that point just yet. But that percentage is growing within the democrat party. I would just keep in mind that for the purposes of this election that Trump needs to keep his coalition together to beat the Left. If there are voters of his that tune this election out while the dems are motivated that will swing a lot of elections to the dems. God forbid that they fully flip and vote for the dem. I'm not going to put too much stock into polling but if the Independent voters are in fact voting for the Left at a 2-1 clip it's gonna be really bad. Our margins are slim but I have hope that the nation can rally once again and tell the Left
