Right On Cue, Major Leftwing Pollsters Suddenly Credit the GOP with Having a Big Lead on the Democrats
There is a very strong suspicion among poll analysts and critics. The People's Pundit Richard Barris mentioned it in his last podcast, though he's mentioned it before, and many people talk about it.
They talk about major pollsters deliberately publishing polls they know for a fact oversample Democrats and are therefore just wrong, in order to please their clients (who are often leftwing media companies and their gonzo shitlib audiences). But then, right before the election, in the last poll before voting starts, they suddenly publish a poll showing the GOP in a much better position. Suddenly, the Democrat oversampling they've been doing for months just poof! vanishes. And why do they do this? Because, when people rank pollster's accuracy, they usually only look at the last poll conducted before the election. All the deliberately Democrat-oversampling polls designed to perk up Democrat donors and demoralize Republican voters they published before the last poll are "freebies" -- they won't count as far as their official accuracy evaluation. (A more innocent, but not completely innocent, explanation is that these pollsters know damn well it's hard to get media-distrusting conservatives to answer pollster's questions -- and don't bother to take special efforts to get them into the survey. Until it's the final poll of the season.) So I'm not surprised to learn, get this, all the leftwing pollsters are all of a sudden showing big leads for the GOP in their last poll before the election. Unexpectedly! Quinnipiac, which is still surveying registered voters, a more Democrat-skewing group, than likely voters, even five days before the election, suddenly discovers a completely unexpected 8-point shift in the GOP's favor from August. Or, maybe, they just turned down the Democrat Oversample dials and published the first and last ballpark accurate poll of their polling season.They did not take a September poll, for some reason. So it flipped from Democrats +4 in August to GOP +4. Again, among registered voters. CNN and NPR/Marist now "discover" a GOP lead, when last month they had claimed that Democrats were ahead. This GOP lead somehow eluded them in their "freebie" polls that will not be evaluated for their accuracy as pollsters, of course. CNNLOL "discovers" a seven point shift in just a month. Why are you laughing? This is CNN -- the most trusted name in news.

InteractivePollsWell CNNLOL didn't want to upset its crazed partisan viewers with ooky polls for months, but they're forced to drop this bad news just five days before the election. NPR/Marist -- if it's from the leftwing Marxist Government, you know in your heart it's True -- detects a six point shift in just a month.

Democrats 46% Independents
Republicans 45% (+12)
Democrats 33% * 6-point shift from last month when the Democrats were up by 3 points NPR/Marist | 1,200 Definite Voters
Ed Morrissey notes that these pollsters preferred excuses as to why their polls numbers have changed so dramatically. CNN says it's because Democrat enthusiasm collapsed.
An enthusiastic Republican base and persistent concerns about the state of the economy place the GOP in a strong position with about a week to go in the race for control of the US House of Representatives, according to a new CNN Poll conducted by SSRS. The new survey out Wednesday shows that Democratic enthusiasm about voting is significantly lower than it was in 2018, when the Democratic Party took control of the House. Republican voters in the new poll express greater engagement with this year’s midterm election than Democrats across multiple questions gauging likelihood of vote.I'll bet you there's not much difference in Democrat enthusiasm compared to last month's poll -- not compared to 2018, but compared to their last poll claiming a three point Democrat lead -- so this doesn't explain the sudden "shift." Ed Morrissey notes that the very leftwing Morning Consult poll continues showing a 47-42 advantage for Democrats -- among registered voters. But it turns out among likely voters, this leftwing suppression poll shows a 46-46 tie.
Democrats Lose Generic Ballot Lead: Congressional Democrats have lost their advantage over congressional Republicans on the generic ballot, with likely voters now evenly split -- 46% to 46% -- on the question. The latest survey marks a decline over the past month from Democrats' high point (49%), and a boost for the GOP from its 44% low. Republicans Increase Enthusiasm Edge: Republicans are more likely than Democrats to say they are "extremely" or "very" enthusiastic about voting in the midterm elections, 64% to 61%, following a dip among Democrats in recent weeks. Biden's Approval Hits Low Among Likely Voters: Biden's job approval rating has reached a low point with likely voters, falling from a 47% high in mid-September to 42% in the latest survey. Meanwhile, 56% disapprove of his job performance.46-46? Sure, Jan. Morning Consult tracks daily so this is probably not their final poll -- they still have a few "freebies" to play around with before producing a real poll result that can stand up to post-hoc scrutiny.

Well, they also create narratives that misdirect millions of dollars in different ways, most importantly by keeping the GOP from moving funds to places where it will most be effective?
NH is looking close? Push out some polls showing Mike Lee in danger of losing in Utah. That'll raise a few million for Lee, a safe seat, that won't go to NH.
And people keep falling for it.

Oh, Mike Lee didn't fall for it. Mike Lee played into it to raise millions of extra dollars. He's part of the problem.
The people are the donors who believe that Mike Lee is about to lose to Evan McMullin because some unknown pollster with no track record becomes the only pollster to actually poll the state and says that McMullin is in striking distance.

Its ass-covering nonsense. Also, accuracy varies a lot. Being within 5% is either way off and a huge loss or really close and within the margin of error, depending on context and what they are trying to say.
For example, If Obama wins the presidency by 5% of the popular vote, its a big win and a mandate. But if one of Nate Silver's 79 different models is within 5% of the actual election then he is a genius who called it.

That would assume that the poll-resistant know of this tendency.
However, I think poll-reluctance in conservatives is widespread enough that it probably happens even on the last couple polls. Conservatives just have a "fuck off" mentality about being polled by an institution of liars or aides to liars.

One person stuck in my mind saying she wanted to vote for someone that would keep abortion legal but not start a war with Russia and therefore she didn't know who to vote for. I wonder how many other former "pro-Peace" Dems are in a similiar space in regards to this election.
Remember in 2020 war with Russia may have been on the Dem agenda but it wasn't something the LIVs were hearing about and now you have Biden running around threatening to start WWIII at least once a week.

If this is true, then it's an argument that polling for November elections is impossible to get right more than a few weeks out. It's just another argument to ignoring all polling up until a certain date.

And if Trump is going to run in 2024 job 1 is dispensing with McCarthy and/or McConnell by any legal means necessary .
Trump May win with McCarthy and McConnell still there but he can't govern effectively against the Communists until he moves them out of the way.

One person stuck in my mind saying she wanted to vote for someone that would keep abortion legal but not start a war with Russia and therefore she didn't know who to vote for. I wonder how many other former "pro-Peace" Dems are in a similiar space in regards to this election.
She is definitely LIV.
Because Republicans want war with Russia as well, so if those were her only two issues, she should vote Democrat.

I think most of the seats we thought we could get, we will get.
The question is about the ones we didn't think we could realistically get.
The big overrepresentation of Democrats in Democrat districts does present a firewall beyond which no red wave can go. Once districts get into the D+18 range, they're safe for Democrats. And there are bunches of those.
But there are also districts in the D+5 to D+10 range. Are those safe?
No, probably not completely safe.
Barris and others think that even D+9 districts aren't safe this year

Won't do shit. Fed Interest Rate hikes are used to make Borrowing less attractive, so banks loan less money. Loaning money through fractional lending CREATES money... thus, raising interest rates are supposed to slow down the creation of money (inflation is caused when money creation exceeds actually economic growth).
Problem is that the Fed ITSELF is the one creating money, due to it HAVING to cover the Deficit spending of the US Government. So raising interest rates will only make the DEBT LARGER... which will lead to? more printing of money... leading to more inflation.
Fed Gov has trapped the Fed Bank, into a no win situation.

The goal here is admirable, but the method is deeply flawed. Random selection is unlikely to achieve optimal levels of diversity and inclusion across various parameters like race, sex, national origin, religion, neurodiversity, disability, etc. While random selection would be superior to biased, heternormative, Eurocentric, patriarchal selection methods, they are inferior to deliberately targeting representative makeup in the workforce.

I'm trying to unload a house in the D/FW area Right Now. 4/2 with pool. Back in July when just talking to an agent I was told easy $400k. Then a couple weeks ago "max of $350k" then last week: "We might be able to sell it to a flipper". I guess next week will be "your home might get hit with Jewish Lightning".
House isn't listed yet, but I go to Zillow and filter on homes under $400k and find total wrecks. Most homes in the area are selling in under two weeks and getting 1% or as much as 5% above asking at around 400-430k
Most homes in inventory are at the $4000+/mo level. I'm pretty sure that there is a market for those who can handle a
OTOH, selling might be easier now if the Spring promises to be much more expensive. People wanting to get into a home within a year or two may bite now.

Here is the thing. If they are putting a product out for 'free'-- you are not their customer. The person/organization paying the bill for the poll is. And the customer is always right.
That is probably the most damaging thing about the internet is that it essentially severed any commercial implications for a lot of media companies to go hard left. They did so because the customers were ad agencies populated by friendlies, not the general public.

Trans seems to have become the #2 issue over the past four or five years, year, but it's obviously not anything like a political third rail. Nasty Republicans keep touching the issue and thriving.
It's hard to imagine what else they could dig up that would be nearly as effective at keeping a major part of the Democratic coalition on their side while also making Republicans understand the reticence of GOP lawmakers from touching leftist gains.

Nice try. Most LIV Democrats probably think the GOP still controls Congress, Fox news is actually conservative, and that the world is flat. LIV voters are simply wanting the beatings to stop and the head big man in the WH gets the blame which has not changed in decades. Last time blaming Congress worked was when the GOP tried to impeach Bill Clinton. Before that, Harry Truman.

It's funny, but that's the kind of extremist things they have to push now.
I thought the Democrat Party would start the process of splitting after a loss in 2020. Well, they got their win, and delayed the inevitable, but I think it's still coming. They'll remain together through the 2024 election, but a loss there along with all of the losses sustained in 2022 will cause some kind of split in the part. Donors, unwilling to invest in the Democrat Party anymore, could decide to go a few different ways including investing in third parties like the Working Families Party in NY to try and create some kind of foothold.

Despite not following it, you have a good handle on it. Back in the day, I had a class with the instructor being a legend who was an expert court witness in many a gerrymandering case. There is an optimum gerrymander that works in most years but realignments or huge wave elections tend to have a disproportionate effect on the party that gerrymandered. Dems are increasingly having it harder because their base is shrinking to urban redoubts in many areas.

Yeah, of the hundreds of women I've known in my life, I don't know a single one who had an abortion that I knew about.
And that includes a WHOLE shitload of dating over the years.
Either they never had one, or they were ashamed and would not admit. Either way... don't see much abortion support if you won't even talk about it.

The new survey shows that white women living in suburban areas, who make up 20% of the electorate, now favor Republicans for Congress by 15 percentage points, moving 27 percentage points away from Democrats since the Journal’s August poll. It also suggests that the topic of abortion rights has faded in importance after Democrats saw energy on that issue this summer in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
“We’re talking about a collapse, if you will, in that group on the perceptions of the economy,” said Republican pollster Tony Fabrizio who conducted the poll with Democratic pollster John Anzalone. The poll showed that 54% of white suburban women think the U.S. is already in a recession and 74% think the economy is headed in the wrong direction.

I thought the Democrat Party would start the process of splitting after a loss in 2020. Well, they got their win, and delayed the inevitable, but I think it's still coming. They'll remain together through the 2024 election, but a loss there along with all of the losses sustained in 2022 will cause some kind of split in the part. Donors, unwilling to invest in the Democrat Party anymore, could decide to go a few different ways including investing in third parties like the Working Families Party in NY to try and create some kind of foothold.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison
----------------------
I think that the future of the Dem party is to be a racial one. By ramping up race and identity uber alles, it limits your party's appeal but the voters are solid for you. An example is Belgium where the parties are based on Flemish or Walloons (languages and ethnic identity). You get that in a lot of PR states as well because the name of the game is to maximize votes for your narrow xyz party for power and grift when coalition time comes.

Voting machine/system companies will make a lot more money selling new hardware and software to counties with large populations every three years than they would from a maintenance and support contract for an existing system for ten years.
It's the same across the electronics and software sectors. When every possible iPhone customer has bought one, how can Apple maintain a large revenue stream? By selling a new phone to most/all previous buyers, not by selling replacements for failed or broken phones and new but old design phones to young people buying their first phone.
How does MicroSoft maintain a large revenue stream? Not by patching WinX forever.

2024 should be a much better year for Republicans in The Senate (based on which seats are up). The way The Junta is ruling (they will undoubtedly double-down on destruction), is conceivable we at least have a filibuster-proof Senate with the Republican President then -- but yeah, McConnell and McCarthy have to go, and MAGA needs to be mainstreamed in Congress.
Otherwise, we're fucked ...

If it makes you feel better, more or less, assuming no massive cheat where it is really too late to put together something like 2020 in all the state elections, this election was set way back in May of this year. Pretty much presidential approval ratings at the end of may dictate who was going run the House way back then. Senate is a bit trickier but pretty apparent the Dems are going to lose at least control on paper. Governors races are always idiosyncratic but it appears that the economic times and crime are going to work for GOP gains there. Downballot to minor state and local races, it may be a slaughter outside of urban strongholds for the Dems. Those offices are voted on using almost pure party id preferences.

If you want to personalize it, I think many women who had 6th week abortions will favor "some" restrictions just to push what they did into the "reasonable" side of the moral question.
But on the other side, so many post 90 people grew up too indoctrinated into the "oral sex is not sex", and "abortion is health care" and all that other crap that it will take 50 years to replace them with a population that does not see this in emotional terms.

I am not a prominent black piller but I don't think that any nationally elected government can make the decisions necessary until a collapse occurs. But, what you can do is use this time to prepare for collapse, elect solid people for local and state governments, and start building your friends, family, and societal institutions like home schooling groups, small home bound churches, creating your own informal neighborhood groups of kindred souls, etc. If you are in an area not safe from the tides of unrest, leave now to safer climes.
That is why I vote GOP at the national level--to buy time as the Dems are accelerants to the coming fire.

Make them “seem” non-competitive, becuase if you can convince them not to compete, it is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
THIS is why the GOPe doesn’t compete everywhere : a ‘gentle xirsons’ agreement (collusion) with the DEM. It is WWW managed elections.

The GOP House side of things is, apparently, targeting over 70 Democratic House seats this cycle. The House side seems to be fighting as far as they can go.
It's Mitch who's being stingy with his money like refusing to fund Masters in favor of sending money to Murkowski.
The larger problem, though, is the 50 state-level GOPs that don't bother to put pro-forma candidates on ballots in every race possible downballot.

we will have to fucking fight tooth and nail until 2024. There will be shutdowns, period. You either keep going or be prepared to disappoint the base. The Force at least one special counsel. Stop all Biden judge nominees.

It is, but this one actually makes more sense. Because Bob who thinks he's now "Stormy" the 16 year old girl may have ID that identifies them differently than they now look and their name is different on the ID.
The obvious answer is "get new ID" and the proper answer is "you aren't Stormy you lunatic." But it is a real, if tiny and insignificant effect.
But the question is, which is the larger concern? A tiny sector of the population who doesn't get new ID, or the overall problem of electoral integrity for the other 99.09% of the population?

Perhaps in part but a larger reason is that GOP strategists are simply stuck in the Karl Rove era of winning narrowly by only targeting reliable voters in a relatively issue free campaign. At the state level, the state GOPers simply do not want to raise turnout among urban dwellers that might split a ticket to vote for one national GOP candidate but Dems otherwise. They also fear that a strong campaign by a GOP candidate in an blue area will lose but mobilize a lot of Dems voters that would otherwise stay at home.
It is all about the base election. Indies are driven away by a barrage of negative ads that cause them to despair that both candidates are repulsive. Dems do some of this themselves but can't control who are candidates always.

Six states and Washington, D.C., do not impose any term restrictions for abortion.
Many states with restrictions have exceptions, including to preserve women's lives or health, though they might be narrowly defined.
Posted by: Lola at November 02, 2022 03:57 PM (NIYa7)
If the GOP wants to become an actual governing party, they are going to have to axe most of their past predispositions to favor corporate interests. The whole what is good for GM is good for the US should be left in the Eisenhower era. Ditto for any cuts. Ignore SS and Medicare, go after welfare for elites and corporations first. That is how you win politically but probably not at grifting opportunities.

Only thing Biden can do is to completely deregulate energy production. That would rebound our productivity to soak up all the extra money floating around.
I'm curious if some states would just ignore EPA and fed regs on the basis the feds have no constitutional basis for their regulations. Alito has resurrected the 10th Amendment you know.

That is possible - but I don't think Mitch can do this. the 2024 class will be MAGA on steroids. If he wants to go out as leader, he cannot do that. And the backlash if he does that will so extreme that the dems will have to hide in 2024. The dems want the GOP majority to check Joe so they don't have to. Playing nice with Mitch makes them the villian. Mitch will just try to play hearing theater and pocket a shit ton of money and do what he can to try and remain Majority Leader in 2025.
McCarthy just has to make sure he holds his caucus together or else he won't be speaker in 25. So he is somewhat restrained. There won't be enough dems to save him now, and even fewer in 2025.
