There are reports that Republican Senators are seriously petrified that not only will they lose the House this November, but the Senate too, given the public's anti-incumbent mood, the reckless and overtly corrupt Malignant Fascist's decline, and rising prices of food, housing and gasoline. From The Hill:
"National Republican Senatorial Committee Chair Tim Scott (S.C.) has warned Senate GOP colleagues privately 'about how bad polling is, currently, for Republicans and how bad the president is losing ground among all groups,' said a senior Republican aide.
Senate Republican Conference Chair Tom Cotton (Ark.) also shared polling with Senate Republicans at a recent lunch meeting that showed independents moving in large numbers away from the GOP and toward Democrats, according to a GOP senator who attended the presentation.
Whit Ayres, a prominent Republican pollster, warned that Trump’s slumping approval rating is a red flag for Republican prospects, citing political trends over recent decades.
'We know that the party in power tends to lose House seats in a midterm election, but the number of seats lost is highly correlated with the president’s popularity. When presidential job approval is above 50 percent, the average loss of House seats for his party is 14. When it’s below 50 percent, the average loss of House seats for his party is 32,' he said." (our emphasis)
Lacking any positive policies to run on, MAGAts are already pushing false labeling and scare tactics, from transgender intrusion into girl's sports to the Red Scare refresh of Commie! commie! commie! from the Joseph McCarthy era in the 1950s. They've already played the gerrymandering card, and are trying to figure a way to pass the cheating MF's languishing "SAVE (my ass) America Act.
As we always say, the only true poll is the ballots we cast, so take this as a good sign, but just the beginning of a fight we have to win.
