What do the latest midterm polls reveal about Democratic leads in key states?
The numbers are getting even worse for Donald Trump. The latest Siena College Texas poll has Democrat James Tallarico leading MAGA Republican extremist Ken Paxton 49 to 43. The governor's race, Democratic candidate Hinojosa is beating Governor Abbott 49 to 45. Big leads by the Democratic candidates there. We go to Ohio. The Democratic candidate, Amy Acton, is beating Vivek Ramaswamy 48 to 45%, while the Democratic candidate for the United States Senate seat, Sherrod Brown, is taking a commanding lead over John Husted, the MAGA Republican incumbent. You take a look there, Democrats surging ahead in the governor's race and the Senate race. Respectively, we look at North Carolina, the Democratic candidate, former Governor Roy Cooper, taking a commanding lead over MAGA Republican extremist Michael Whatley, 49% to 34%.
Let's take a look at Kansas, everybody. The Democratic candidate, Adam Hamilton, coming right out of that. Kansas State Fair, where he just made minced meat over Roger Marshall. But we'll have to check that minced meat because people like MAGA Republican Senator Roger Marshall are bringing in frozen minced meat from foreign countries that are mystery meat and undercutting our ranchers in any event. The Democratic candidate, Adam Hamilton, surging ahead of Roger Marshall. Can the Democrats flip Kansas blue? How about Florida right there, where Angie Nixon, the Democratic candidate, is tied in the latest polling with MAGA Republican extremist Ashley Moody. One thing we've always been reporting on here, though.
In all of these special elections, Democrats have been overperforming the polling by multiple, multiple amounts. So the fact that the Democrats are leading or tied here, I think, portends very well for the midterms. And then you look at the generic ballot polling. Have you seen the latest? The Marquette has Democrats up 13, YouGov Democrats plus 12, Quinnipiac Democrats plus 11. signal plus eight eight point six honest plus nine new york times sienna eight point five ipsos plus seven morning console plus six right there the overall average democrats lead 50 to 41 and democrats are surging ahead even more now With all of this taking place, Washington Post is reporting that Donald Trump is now privately acknowledging that he is about to get routed, that he's about to get utterly humiliated, and he is panicking.
Here's the latest report from the Washington Post. Donald Trump is privately acknowledging that his decisions including the war with iran with net yahoo the catastrophic war in iran may have contributed to the republican party's difficult position ahead of the midterm elections according to people familiar with the discussions who spoke to the washington post advisors have become increasingly blunt with trump about poor polling and the party's political challenges. One person said he definitely feels like some of his decisions have led to the dynamics where he's unpopular and things aren't looking great for the midterms. Trump has previously dismissed negative polls as fake, but advisors say he's now paying closer attention to data
How are Republican candidates performing in the Texas and Ohio races?
Showing weak support for him and Republicans, Trump has responded by increasing his focus on the midterms, approving around $140 million in spending from allied super PACs, and pledging to campaign in competitive races. We'll see about that. He has told advisors he wants to fight like hell until the elections, but apparently he didn't tell his advisors or anybody in the White House that he was going to ban CNN, Politico, and MSNOW. from reporting from inside the white house you have multiple white house advisors telling the press they were surprised that donald trump issued this directive they didn't know it was coming apparently trump's chief of staff susie wiles was out of the white house donald trump saw how he was getting crushed he saw all of the reporting exposing his regime's catastrophic war in iran and his cover-up of the deaths that were taking place of our service members
