LINK: Pelosi extends proxy voting in House until Nov. 10 | The Hill So, she extends the proxy voting until just after the midterm elections....meaning Democrats can keep campaigning instead of doing their job. Supposedly over a pandemic that is, at least according to Biden, over. Note: For those that don't know, proxy voting is allowing someone else to vote for you. IE: they don't even have to view bills, make arguments for/against...just follow the leader.
Nov 10 is likely also when Nancy Announces her retirement. WaPo/ABC poll: GOP holds +5 edge on generic ballot -- and wide leads on top issues That's their likely voter screen. Their RV screen shows R +1. For them, going from Registered Voter to Likely voter is a R+2 movement. Democrats trail in ALL the LV screens, they tie or lead ONLY in RV screens Dems haven't led a LV screen since Biden's Red Speech. 'At this point, both sides are highly motivated to turn out in November. Among registered Democratic voters, 3 in 4 say they are almost certain to vote compared with about 8 in 10 Republicans. Independents are less motivated. Four years ago, Democrats were about as mobilized as Republicans and had a clear lead in overall support. Eight years ago, when Democrats suffered losses, Republicans were more motivated.' Democrats are in serious trouble when polling likely voters: likely-voter indies are breaking Republican in the WaPo/ABC poll: 'Political independents narrowly favor Republicans, 47 percent to 42 percent, in the vote for Congress. In 2018, the final Post-ABC poll found Democrats holding a seven-point advantage among independents. Democrats’ lack of competitiveness with independents is perhaps notable, given that independent voters disapprove of Biden by 60 percent to 31 percent.' VOTERS' ISSUES Economy: 85% Inflation: 78% Education and schools: 77% Crime: 67% Immigration: 63% Abortion: 62% Climate change: 50% 'Voters decide based primarily on their daily lived experiences. When the economy is good, crime is low, and their kids get an education rather than an indoctrination, they stick with the status quo and/or focus on aspirational issues like climate change. In a stagflationary environment where crime is exploding around them and their children are getting indoctrinated rather than educated, voters will demand change and a focus on everything that’s going wrong in their lives and communities. The issue priorities in this poll form a gigantic flashing neon sign of discontent, especially the specific result on inflation.'
Fox News and the New York Post have a story about Pelosi being booed at some concert somewhere. Her approval rating is at 37%.
So what? Eveybody EXPECTS The Dems Lose House Control... That has been OLD News for Ages.. The REAL Story is THIS: The Shrinking GOP Gain: Based on extreme RW MAGA Candidates being nominated in Swing Districts that are tilting very Winnable races toward the Dems....
I'm fine with that, it will give the GOP moderates a stronger hand. We'll do well in the 2022 warm-up setting us up for a FABULOUS 2024
"GOP Moderates"? What "GOP Moderates"? Is "Moderate" what they call The Generic Extreme RW Congressional Loon who doesn't have their head stuck up Trump's Rear? Btw--It is good to see some of the GOP coming to the realization that Re-Nominating Trump would lead to a Certain Loss...
{Yawn} Unlike some, we aren't Trump Obsessed. And, if Dems thought they could beat Trump in a fair election they wouldn't be fighting so hard to keep him off the ballot. Dems led only ONE Likely Voter poll since Biden's red Speech.

So What? Unlike Some we AREN'T Poll Obsessed this far out... Polls Mean NOTHING at this point... Ask "President Hillary"... Citing Polls 26 Months Before the Election?
The election is in 1.5 months, NOT 26 months. The Generic Vote polls for the election in 6 weeks have NOTHING to do with the presidential election 25.5 months.
