What Are the Pollsters Missing?

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 11/3/2022 12:54:45 AM

The most remarkable finding of the latest Wall Street Journal poll on the mid-term election is the yuuuge swing of suburban women toward the GOP since August: The new survey shows that white women living in suburban areas, who make up 20% of the electorate, now favor Republicans for Congress by 15 percentage points, moving 27 percentage points away from Democrats since the Journal’s August poll. That is one whopping move. As the Journal article explains, the shift isn’t just limited to congressional vote preference, but seems to be cascading down ticket.

I think he's right. COVID and radical sexual politics involving children in schools are the unspoken monsters in the mix.

It can be fervently hoped that the coming Red Tsunami will totally crush the anti-American, traitorous Democrats (it's treason to invite illegals from around the globe to invade America, and to decline to stop them, and to AID THEM, when they cross the border.)

Posters are missing just about every conservative; they don't answer the phone and if they do, they will never talk to a polls. Pollsters are missing a significant portion of the population as the people know that pollsters cannot be trusted . Pollsters manipulate their results for their own political purposes. They either conduct the poll in a known democratic zip code or give the democratic candidatev plus 20 points in their internal calculations.

We women do most of the shopping. We know how destructive the Demon-Rats have been the last two years in causing inflation to skyrocket. Same when we stop to buy gas, pick up prescriptions, and anything else we do that costs money. We are also Mamma Bears when it comes to protecting our kids, while the Demon-Rats are perfectly fine with grooming them, brainwashing them to doubt even who they are, and convincing them to consider mutilating surgeries. You don't want to get a Mamma Bear mad!!! So, yes, we women voters will be a huge part in bringing about the Red Sunami on November 8th!!!!! Finally, the Demon-Rats totally ignore poll after poll showing that the strong majority of women support some limits on abortion if no outright outlawing it.

BINGO #6! They know what is coming, but they don't dare tell the Truth. So they go on TV ang give their "opinions" on how the Election will go, and everyone listening knows they're lying through their Teeth! As for the Women jumping to the Republicans, Yes, I can see that happening. Every time I go to the Grocery store and see the Eggs have gone up to $6 or $7 a Dozen, I think very bad words and move on. I have gotten very acquainted with Aldi where Eggs are still $2.50 a Doz. I think the only Women NOT moving to the Republicans are the ones that wear the huge, Black rimmed Glasses. The ones who think it's okay for Porn to be in the Library at School or the ones who still put a Mask on their 3 year old child when in public. But, they're not going to every change because they're also the one who are College Educated and Indoctrinated in Liberal forever!!

Beyond the obvious problems with the agenda driven cant of most pollsters I'm not sure they are actually "missing" anything. Ommitting social issues (except abortion) is simply one example of their agenda driven focus. I think what is happening is that the frogs have finally realized the water is getting awful hot, and are jumping out of the pot. It is not one single issue that causes this, not even a group of 2 or 3 issues. What is happening across America is a flood of issues that the normally complacent public simply cannot ignore. Those issues are no longer "city" problems, or rich people problems or issues one can virtue signal over and then ignore because it really doesn't affect them. These are little and not so little problems that everybody actually has to deal with, every day. One or two of them could be shrugged off as simple annoyance, but the tsunami of minor and major annoyances we have been subjected to over the last 2 years can no longer be ignored. The pollsters don't miss this, the numbers show that. The real issue is that both the pollsters and the left wing organizations who run them don't understand what they are looking at. why else is the stock response to these results shocked disbelief and hand waving about "disinformation" or that old standby "voters don't understand the issues" claptrack. Immediately followed by a huge program to correct the messaging. Funny how they always want to fix the messaging and almost never want to fix the problem.

One reason those ladies are switching to the GOP is that many of them visit the grocery store every week and they see the truth about inflation.

FTA: "Although it may sound sexist to say, there is plenty of empirical voting research showing that women voters pay closer attention to local issues than male voters do—especially education." Women and men generally do not share the same concerns on the same issues. There is a reason the term "Karen" has arisen in popular parlance. Same with "soccer mom". They really aren't concerned about "education" so much as their child having an idyllic experience and social growth within some notion of good values, like diversity and fairness. Boys who get too rambunctious get counseling too often leading to psychotropic drugs to calm the young beast suffering from ADD, etc. Back when, it was just "being a boy" behavior that Sister Mary Beatchaup could cure without medical intervention. Suburban life is under stress. Less-desirables and foreigners are invading the safe space, and at home the bills are growing for gas, domestic energy, groceries and whatnot - leaving less for vacations. Urban craziness is invading those peaceful cul-de-sacs. Worse, suburban kids respond to the lure of the lowest common denominator. Being smart isn't a ticket to social acceptance. Tick-Toking and Instagramming is. Now suburban moms aren't so hot on the Democrat vision of Utopia.

Joe Biden Sounds Alarm About Elon Musk:
Twitter 'Spews Lies All Across the World'

Posted by Dreadnought 11/5/2022 1:16:05 AM Post Reply
President Joe Biden on Friday signaled his frustration that billionaire Elon Musk had purchased Twitter. “Elon Musk goes out and buys an outfit that spews lies all across the world,” he said. The president commented on Musk’s purchase of the social media platform during a fundraiser in Chicago. “There’s no editors anymore in America,” he added, revisiting a theme he has complained about during this election cycle. In October, Biden lamented the decline of the mainstream media’s ability to control the political narrative. “The ability of newspapers to have much impact is de minimis,” he said at a fundraiser with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, using a Latin phrase that means “lacking significance or importance.”

The GOP is on the brink, I think, of an epic sweep of the 2022 midterm elections. I expect both the House and the Senate to be in Republican hands in January. So, is there a fly in the ointment? There is indeed: Donald Trump is preparing to announce for the 2024 presidential nomination: Former President Donald Trump plans to formally announce his long-teased third run for the White House later this month, two sources told The Post Friday. One source added that Nov. 14, the Monday after the midterm elections, is the likely date the 45th president will launch his bid. Another source said an announcement would come sometime this month

Something’s happening in the suburbs. On the one hand, polls indicate that white suburban women are shifting — hard — toward the Republican Party. On the other, lots more parents are homeschooling their kids, post-pandemic. These phenomena are not unrelated. Suburban women are shifting Republican — by 27 points, a Wall Street Journal poll found, with 74% saying the country’s headed the wrong direction — because the Democrats have let them down. When people complain about taxes, the usual response is something along the lines of “what, you don’t want police and schools?”
Hollywood is rethinking woke; NYT calls

Hollywood is rethinking going woke, and the New York Times is crying about it. Neither of these developments is a shock. Hollywood cares about morality as much as a Canadian euthanasia doctor, and the New York Times cares about pleasing the plebs as much as Stalin did about his slaves in the Gulag. Hollywood has been a moral cesspool for decades–at least. Most actors are morally depraved perverts; executives are worse. The casting couch existed long before Harvey Weinstein, and child actors are at the mercy of pedophiles. It’s hard to find a child actor who didn’t come out of the business a mental wreck. People are as disposable as used tissues.

Democratic officials and strategists in New York tell CNN they are bracing for what could be stunning losses in the governor’s race and in contests for as many as four US House seats largely in the suburbs. With crime dominating the headlines and the airwaves, multiple Democrats watching these races closely are pointing to New York City Mayor Eric Adams, accusing him of overhyping the issue and playing into right-wing narratives in ways that may have helped set the party up for disaster on Tuesday. “He was an essential validator in the city to make their attacks seem more legit and less partisan,” said one Democratic operative

Twitter is notifying its employees over email if they've been laid off. With differing emails going to now-former workers depending on their location. Twitter employees affected by mass layoffs under new owner Elon Musk started to realize they'd lost their jobs late Thursday night, as Insider first reported. While they were told by the company earlier in the day they could expect a "workforce reduction" to begin on Friday morning — after Insider reported on such plans — the cuts began suddenly as employees were cut off from access to work tools like email and Slack. It was not until Friday morning that the employees received promised communication

NBC News reported significant new details in the investigation into last week’s attack on Paul Pelosi on Friday — and then promptly retracted the report as soon as those details began circulating online. In a Today Show segment that aired Friday morning, NBC News anchor Miguel Almaguer reported that Pelosi reacted in an unusual way to the arrival of police officers after calling 911 because a deranged, underwear-clad man had broken into his house and was searching for his wife, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. “The front door was opened by Mr. Pelosi.

A New York jury Friday found Trump confidant and billionaire Thomas Barrack not guilty of all charges in his trial on federal foreign lobbying allegations. Barrack, a 75-year-old investor who was an adviser to former President Donald Trump and chair of his Inaugural Committee, was accused of using his connections to Trump's administration to try to sway U.S. foreign policy for a client, the United Arab Emirates. Prosecutors portrayed Barrack as a businessman "campaigning for cash," out to use his White House ties to add a lucrative client to his investment portfolio.

House Republicans on the Judiciary Committee released a 1,000-page report on Friday outlining how the FBI and Justice Department have abandoned their commitment to political neutrality in recent years. The report, which relies heavily on whistleblower accounts, is set to serve as a roadmap for the oversight investigation into the politicization of federal law enforcement that Republicans will undertake should they reclaim a House majority in next week’s midterm elections. The probe will be led by Representative Jim Jordan (R., Ohio), who is expected to become chairman of the Judiciary Committee if Republicans take the House.

These stories keep coming fast and thick this week. Here’s one published this evening by the Washington Post full of Democrats expressing their nervous concern about the midterms. A democratic strategist quoted in this story even uses the M-word: Malaise. Welcome back, Carter! As Republicans have focused on inflation and crime to go on offense in Democratic territory over the past month — competing in traditionally blue districts in California, Oregon, New York, Illinois and elsewhere — there’s a growing sense among Democrats that there’s little they can do at this point to combat the combined forces of history and economics.

Oprah Winfrey said on Thursday that she was endorsing Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman over Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz in the Pennsylvania Senate race. While Winfrey is a Democrat herself, it's notable because Oz first came to prominence as a health expert on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" before he got his own talk show in 2009, which was produced her company Harpo. His show ended in January. "I’ll tell you all this, if I lived in Pennsylvania, I would have already cast my vote for John Fetterman for many reasons," Winfrey said during a virtual conversation with community leaders.

A class-action lawsuit has been filed against Twitter over Elon Musk’s plan to sack thousands of staffers — as employees were abruptly locked out of their company Slack and email accounts, and barred from going into the office ahead of the mass layoffs Friday. The lawsuit was filed Thursday in San Francisco federal court after the company notified employees it would eliminate some 3,700 jobs, half its workforce, Bloomberg News reported. It alleges that employees weren’t given enough notice of the mass layoffs in violation of federal and California law.
