@Socdem_Michael I think Dems are being underestimated in Maine, overestimated in the Midwest. Southern states I think the polling is probably about accurate
Kansas is weird because it's so Dem trending, I think it could be different from Iowa/Ohio. I don't doubt R's are being underestimated in the rural, western half of the state, but Dems actually have substantial urban pickup opportunities that don't exist in the other states.
Polls are very clearly underestimating R's in the midwest.
I still think the Dems have a very good night, but I still consider Ohio a tossup, and Iowa lean R. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Sand wins by less than Hinson
sorry but no, the gop does not do that. we are extremely lucky that the gop primary base has no interest in electability. the gop controls significantly fewer senate seats than you would expect
To barely control the senate with 51 seats, we need to win Trump +13% states. To be able to have 60 votes we need to win +23% Trump states.
To get 60, republicans need to win Harris +6% states.
This discrepancy does not get discussed enough.
Anyone else upset that Democrats need almost an unheard of 10 point generic ballot to control 52% of the House seats? It’s curious this has left the public discourse.
Gerrymandering must be on the Dem docket fast.
@Socdem_Michael Steil won by 11% in 2024 and every forecaster has this race going to the GOP. If this poll was accurate it would imply a very large blue wave
Interestingly, Kansas has actually shifted even more since 2012 (D+11 since then, Alaska has only been D+6).
Kansas is an interesting play in the long term, but feels less within reach for 26 if the main swings are coming from minority communities.
Pete flipped quite a number of Obama-Trump counties in the 2020 Iowa Caucuses. He generally does quite well with suburban and rural voters.
I think if someone like him wins the nomination Kansas could be the New Jersey of 2028
Obviously Dems aren't gaining as much in white areas this year as they have in previous elections. Despite that, multiple non Dem-leaning polls now have Hamilton in front.
I wonder if a Dem like Buttigieg could get Kansas within 5 or so points in 2028
For Gov
I'm relatively confident compared to Election Twitter that KLB wins. Ossoff is going to win by like, 8-12 points, I don't think she lags behind him by enough to lose.
I think the Northeast doesn't see a *huge* blue shift, but those states are blue enough already that the GCB probably ends up at like, D+9 in NH, and D+11 in ME, and I don't think the GOP can overcome that.
It probably ends up being a GOP bloodbath in the sunbelt
I'm choosing to believe the polls in the sense that the biggest gains for Dems will come from voters that flipped to Trump in 2020/2024 (hispanics/young ppl).
I think polls are still underestimating R's in the midwest due to rural whites that will end up voting for them.
