New York Times Poll Shows Bleak Outlook For Democrats Less Than A Month Before Election Day


Republican candidates for the House and Senate have overtaken Democrats on the generic ballot, driven by increased anxiety over the economy, according to the latest New York Times/Sienna Group survey.

The survey showed Republicans with the support of 49% of likely voters, compared to 45% for Democrats. This is a reversal of September’s data, which showed Democrats with a 1% advantage.

The increase was driven primarily by polling on the economy and inflation, which 44% of respondents ranked as the most important problem facing the country today, and where voters favored Republicans by a two-to-one margin. In September’s edition of the survey, just 36% of voters ranked the economy and inflation as their top issue.

Bleak for Democrats = Victory for America

We should never become complacent.

Battling Marxism and the downright communism with which the Democrat party is infected is SO important!

In one year they have brought SO much destruction upon our nation from within that we might not be able to fight China when we need to do so.

I'm not even talking about our quality of life. At this point I am talking about a communist takeover.

That is why polls do not matter. We must fight at the level of EVERY state and town, on every school board, and we must make sure the FBI and big tech are under control!!!!

@4meAndyou you hit the nail on the head paragraph 2 and 3...yet they will blame someone else
@4meAndyou Xi Jin ping entered a food venue. Asked what the day’s special was. The answer delighted him…“America!” The waiter gleefully replied.
Putin was seen going in and dining with Xi. It’s reported they shared the special!

Trump played this right. He has endorsed the Rep candidates and he has managed to put election safeguards in place. We are going to win bigly

From my perspective, it is hard to get behind a liberal candidate. I look back at the 1980s, Under Reagan and Bush, the economy was good, nothing much changed when George Bush took the seat from Reagan. The economy was doing pretty good under GW Bush, the economy always seems better with a conservative at the helm. The only Liberal I can remember there not being economy issues with was Bill Clinton, and he really didn't do much either way, just road out what Reagan and Bush left for him.

The polls keep trying to make everyone believe conservatives are in trouble but that doesn't seem to be the case with anyone I have spoken to. Nor does it seem to be the case in other political news. democrats like Tulsi Gabbard are seeing that there is no room for a moderate democrat in the party now are jumping ship and becoming independent or republican. Looking on social media, groups that have been consistently democrat voters are posting that they can't vote with democrats anymore. Huge numbers of black and brown posters are switching to conservative candidates. They have been voting democrat their entire life and see no change in their life. It is time to try something different for a lot of democrats. If republicans clean house next month in the midterms, it will be moderate democrats who have made the difference in a lot of cases.

To those candidates, if republicans take the congress and senate, keep in mind how badly conservatives faired after they dropped the ball on conservative issues after the "contract with America".
@Roadsterrider During most of Clinton's presidency, the republicans controlled congress. That helped prevent much of the leftist, economy destroying policies from being implemented.

@Roadsterrider

Bush handed that election to Bill Clinton. He made critical mistakes ...

(1) He lied about "read my lips".
(2) He invaded Panama with flimsy explanations (how could he have forgotten about Vietnam?)
(3) He failed to move the country and the world from the cold war to one of peace & prosperity
(4) His thousand points of light had no substance

Bush handed America to Clinton on a silver platter.

@Heartlander Some of this was pushed by a democrat majority in congress and the senate.
they havin a hard time rallyin the troops around Joe........ the orange boogey man is gone and alot of them are like "meh"....... i dont see them having a good turn out.
You step back and look at what the Biden administration has done, who they’ve pandered and reached out to, hoping these entities would be helpful for them. The reality is people see this and question the decisions to put people such as this woman with her very racist anti/ white views in the Government, supposedly a government that supports “ Civil

Don't trust the New York Times
Another blunder by Biden that will have to be walked back? When it comes to oil he wants, no hesitation begging the Saudis. Lesson for Joe. Do not bite the hand that feeds you…as you continue to deplete our strategic oil reserves.

The Times publishes that kind of stuff to motivate their constituency to get out and vote. I take all of those polls with a hefty dose (not a grain) of salt.

@bowman81 Polls are never accurate. It's not time to relax.
nedkelly · 61-69, M
I do not believe any political polling as they normally ask 1,000 people who they are voting for. The only poll that counts is the final total at the end of the day

But if they’re really stealing elections, it won’t matter, right?
Why vote for either party?

@Roundandroundwego You probably should not.
There's bound to be an honest FBI agent out there somewhere - you don't want to get spotted.
