2022 Midterm Elections: NO RED WAVE! - GOP Takes U.S. House; Dems Keep U.S. Senate

[Piff Perkins]

I am still mad that Mandela didn't win, tho.




Consulting money put to good use.

I don't like this argument. Barnes ran nearly 4% behind Evers, who won re-election as governor in Wisconsin. To me that's not a money problem, that's a candidate problem. Similar to Walker running behind Kemp, or Stacy Abrams running behind Warnock. Barnes had been marred in debate and bullshyt over the "defund the police" stuff and it hurt. I suspect a safer candidate would have won

That Maricopa County drop wasn't good enough for Lake. She needed 54-55%+ to remain competitive.

Another day... and more good news for the good guys.

Mainstream media is being blindsided by all of this because their polling is mostly from the boomer generation and the headlines that give them the most ratings

I can't tell you how silly most of the people on CNN and Fox look acting surprised when they seemed sure a red tsunami was coming so much to the point even joe Rogan who doesn't watch news believed this narrative

Start polling younger people and stop polling with an agenda
Polls been wrong for the last 6 years

Might the democrats actually pull off a Hail Mary and keep control Of the house ?

 

[MoneyTron]

We gotta stop trusting some of these polls, either that or they need to be recalibrated for over sampling.



This is crazy

They use a lot of historical data and statistical modeling to come up with a probability. She won in a heavily R district, the probability makes sense.

Her opponent is a crazy white supremacist and probably turned off a large amount of voters.

With a normal candidate, she probably doesn't win.

 

[AquaCityBoy]

In defense of the media, historically the midterms are a referendum on the current president, and Biden's approval ratings are historically low, which usually spells disaster for the party in power.

What they didn't account for was that some of those low approvals were from Democrats who actually wanted to see him do more, but still wouldn't vote for a Republican in this current state of the party.

They also severely overestimated how much gas and inflation would hurt the Dems considering they're worldwide issues. They also severely underestimated how much abortion and democracy would play into the midterms. Every single anti-abortion ballot measure has failed, even in red states, and every election-denying SoS candidate in the swing states lost.
