(147 posts)They plant the idea that the Republicans are polling better, and then a bunch of fucking idiots will claim the elections, lost by Republicans only, were stolen. Chaos ensues and democracy is in peril. Good job media.

(10,175 posts)The supposed lead the GOPers have in that poll could just be an error.
They lie, they lie, they lie.
The corporate media is owned by the same filthy rich who own the GOP and Trump. They lie, they, lie, they lie.

(32,016 posts)The are used by professional campaign personnel. Most people who vote for a congressional candidate don't know them. They are a name on the ballot. So they tend to vote by party with Indies shifting around from party to party depending on the election. In these polls Democrats generally need to have a pretty good lead just to break even in seats. The reason being Democrats are heavily concentrated in urban districts while Republicans are spread around.
Example in five districts of 100 voters each Democrats win two districts 80 to 20. Republicans win 3 districts 55 to 45. So Democrats got 295 votes and Republicans got 205 votes but won 3 districts and the Democrats 2. Very simplistic example but that is what generic polls are used for.

(24,412 posts)but she would be awesome as a Congresswoman or Senator! Or even as a local official (but I'm not positive where she's from) but she's got a lot of spunk!

(63,213 posts)That famously "Liberal" media outlet has been predicting a GOP takeover of the House and possibly Senate since shortly after Biden took office.
Now I look forward to someone telling me that I haven't been hearing exactly what I've been hearing.

(21,349 posts)they are done for propaganda,
What ticks me off are all of the hand wringing over John Fetterman. He should do this, he should do that. No the hell he shouldn't, he should do what he is doing, being himself.
As I said, I don't believe in polls, and one of them shows Fetterman leading by 4 points. I have a bet for anyone who wants to take it, for charity, of course. I say Fetterman wins by more than 4 points. If he wins by 4 no one wins. For every point that Fetterman wins by less than 4 points I will pay 50 bucks, for every point that Fetterman wins over 4 points, anyone who wants to bet me owes 50 bucks, to charity, of course. If Fetterman wins by 10, I win 300 dollars. Any takers? PM me.
I live among the Magats in central Pa. and I see Fetterman/Shapiro signs where I never saw signs before, that is my polling.

(32,771 posts)And reviewed the win and loss column and where they were wrong?!
It never happens, they just go right on with their lies and BS. Why does anybody bother with their crap??

(10,252 posts)We don't need a bunch of negative nay-sayers depressing people to give up and quit without even bothering to vote. If my candidates lose, it won't be because I conceded to defeat with the attitude of why bother, we're going to lose anyway. Come on people. Get your mind fixed on voting to win.

(68,582 posts)Kind of reminds me of Kansas.
Thanks for posting this. I have seen polls that used tiny samples and played with the likely voter parameters and then they breathlessly announce we lose... We are not going to fucking lose...we are keeping the House and the Senate. And GOP Medicare killing, women killing assholes that they are can fuck themselves. They are going to lose.
