The Senate, where the GOP holds 53 seats, remains a toss-up, the conservative outlet says
For the first time this year, Fox News is projecting that Democrats will win control of the House of Representatives in November’s midterm elections.
In its latest power rankings Tuesday, the conservative outlet forecast that Democrats are favored to capture 219 seats — one more than the 218 needed for a majority. Republicans were favored in 198 races, while 18 contests remained toss-ups.
“The House is likely out of reach for the GOP this year,” according to the Fox News analysis. “The Democratic Party has enjoyed a lead in the House all year. Now, as another 20 races shift leftward, this forecast sees the Democrats taking control.”
Polls like this will just galvanize the magats and lull the left into staying home and letting someone else vote.
I’m already calling it for another republican majority. How this is even close is beyond my comprehension, but America.
The writing’s on the wall and Donald’s starting to lay the groundwork for an “emergency.” He just sued California alleging non-citizen voting. His DHS claimed 16,000 non-citizen votors in Nevada, trimmed the list to 185, and then when Nevada checked all 185 on the list, it went to 0.
Hmmm a 20 seat lead MIGHT make a difference… Depends how many dinos like Collins get a seat but will vote with Republicans everytime.
No shit, everyone knows this. It’s the senate that we should be worried about.
We need an army of kamikaze progressives willing to run for everything from dog catcher to Senate/Governor. Wave after wave of people willing to be one term politicians, dedicated to policy.
Policy, policy, policy.
No more cults of personality. That’s how they peel off popular support.
Does your state allow early voting? Have you voted yet?
That will engage their population to vote and put the ‘left’ at ease, maybe not to vote.
What they say doesn’t matter, the only thing that matters is for us to vote.
Democrats trailing in the polls = give up chance of flipping seat and don’t vote
Democrats doing well in polls = don’t bother to vote it’s in the bag
Are the only good poll numbers nail biting 50/50?
Fuck poll numbers. I’ve marked every political and polling message I’ve received as spam. They can find out my vote when I cast it. Go vote people, ignore polls.
There are no good poll numbers until after the race has finished
was about to say almost the exact same thing.
Regardless of whatever they say. Don’t get lazy. Don’t get complacent. Get off your ass and go vote, no matter what it takes
I’m all for Dem wins. My prediction is they won’t be able to do much, and get blamed for too much time on hearings, maga will ignore subpoenas and otherwise drag it all out. Dems get blamed for not fixing all the damage, since people ignore that they don’t have the presidency, or enough majority in senate. Some people imply by comments in various places, that they think they can vote for president this election. If that’s the lack of civic comprehension the voting public has, it’s no wonder they flippantly swing back and forth and keep regressing with maga.
As usual. “fix everything in 24 months or we throw the bums back in”.
Democrats actually have to do things.
People are so easy to fool. If this really turns out in a win for the GOP, man that’s the saddest fucking thing.
Fox are only predicting a 1 seat majority.
I don’t believe anything Fox news reports. People still need to vote.
I hope gas goes up to ten dollars a gallon and Peter Theil somehow has a change of heart and becomes like Jesus and donates all his money to ending world hunger and making sure that tech companies behave ethically and transparently
I also hope they make another video game like deadly creatures where you can play a tarantula who acts like a cowboy sorta
Also dear God please make sure that Republicans fuck up all their shit like they already be doin’ so intensely right now.
Amen.
Yeah… but nope. It’s the USA, even with control of both chambers (not gonna happen btw), dems won’t do shit. Nothing happened when trump tried to take the capitol, nothing about Musk nazi salute, nothing when they decided to laugh in your faces about the Epstein files, nothing about war in Iran, almost nothing about ICE, etc. And nothing will happen when the GOP takes the next election, legally or not. It’s too little too late, democracy has left the USA a long time ago.
Last time the Democrats controlled both houses and the presidency, we got the ACA.
Okay doomer
Let’s come back here in a month and see.
The attempt of voter mobilisation I assume?
Yup
Ignore polls, vote.
Vote early if you are able.
Yes. Also try and avoid mailing in ballot, use drop boxes if able.
Or early in person, I’m going on my next day off.
Yeah I don’t believe anything else Fox News says, why would I believe them about this? They may just be trying to motivate.
Yes, motivation… which is actually hatred & greed in this case. These “people” would never admit to failure unless it benefits them, it’s a tactic besharted forth to get the fence sitting MAGATs to vote against their better interests so they can “own the Dems”.
It’s not “hatred and greed”, it’s fear. Fear of losing.
… because if they lose & justice prevails they’ll all face the injustices they have enacted upon the entire world???
…geeze, buy me a drink first before you get me all turned on like this.
Fox News polls are scientifically sound and empirically rigorous. They’ve consistently been one of the most accurate pollsters over the last decade.
Not sure if serious
Dead serious, they’re considered a top-quality pollster by the aggregators and forecasters.
I already voted. County confirmed it was received. Its your turn, vote early if you can!
Polls create political engagement. Silly to ignore them when they juice participation.
Yes, I’m still voting regardless. I don’t believe anything until I see it. And we gotta do it again two years from now.
Maybe it’s because I’m autistic and think differently, I’m legitimately confused when people take news that they have a good chance of winning as telling them not to vote. If anything, shouldn’t it be taken as encouraging you to vote? The opposite is also taken as discouraging people from voting. Are people just that defeatist? You have no chance of winning, you don’t bother voting, you have a good chance of winning, you don’t bother voting
The goal is to lull people into a false sense of security. Voting isn’t necessarily easy for every person legally entitled to vote. You’re supposed to get time off of work, sure, but the actual reality of that especially for shift-laborers, or parents with young children who can’t stand in line for an hour with them, or people who live in remote locations with few voting places can be quite different.
If they keep hearing that their side is likely to win and it’s going to be a pain in the ass for them to actually vote anyway, then they’re more likely to skip the hassle thinking they have the victory in the bag.
Additionally, hearing “the opposition is probably going to win” does a lot to mobilize the maga side to get off their asses and vote, even if trumpster’s approval rating has dropped to pretty much just dedicated magats.
I’m convinced that 99.95% of the time, polls exist and are publicized primarily to impact the outcome and NOT to provide clear or unbiased information.
But don’t people understand that the victory being promised is contigent on them voting? I was motivated to vote liberal precisely because I was told they could win, otherwise I would have voted NDP feeling like it was in vain because conservatives were surely going to win
People were googling “can I change my vote” enough to show up in the data after last election. The average person is stupid as fuck.
No one told you to do otherwise.
We gotta ignore the media because they are just the voices of a single rich asshole family that owns most of it. They want to prevent people from voting.
