The new YouGov poll for The Economist shows a dead-heat between Democrats and Republicans in the generic congressional polling— 45% (Democrats)- 44% (Republicans) among registered voters and 47% (Democrats)- 46% (Republicans) among likely midterm voters. Independents in this poll are breaking slightly in favor of Republicans— 38% to 36% for Dems. And the most current FiveThirtyEight average of generic congressional polls shows the same dead-heat: Democrats 45.0%, Republicans 44.2%.
Wonder what the Republican Party is showing audiences that keeps their hideous candidates-- and brand-- up in the polls? The new TV ad above was just released in Georgia by MAGA Inc, Trump’s new SuperPAC. MAGA Inc bought $750,000 worth of spots. Not a mention of their damaged goods candidate— just an attack on the Democrats, Biden and incumbent Senator Raphael Warnock. In a way it could serve as a generic ad model for the Republican Party's 2022 campaign. It’s all fear-mongering distortions and outright lies: “From D-Day to drag queen story time, America has lost its way. Radical Democrats are indoctrinating our children to hate America— opening our borders and crushing working people with taxes.” That’s the essence of their final message to American voters. It may work, although so far Georgia voters seem be turning away from Herschel Walker. These are the 3 most recent public polls of the Georgia Senate race:
Overnight, the Daily Beast reported on a MAGA rally in DC yesterday that flopped spectacularly, the second epic failure in two weeks. No one showed up. Reporter Zach Petrizzo wrote that “Fervent supporters of Jan. 6 defendants, a MAGA-loving fashion designer, and a rough-and-tumble gentleman dressed in early colonial garb were just a few of the characters back outside the Capitol, equally upset at President Joe Biden and over Capitol rioters remaining behind bars. Despite their attempts to draw in the MAGA faithful by playing Donald Trump speeches ahead of their first speaker, the ‘Stop the Tyrants & Unite for Freedom’ gathering flopped. Even with frequent Steve Bannon podcast guest Matt Braynard in attendance, a mere 27 individuals— including two hired private security guards— showed up.”
The organizers blamed the lack of attendance on sinister forces for forcing e-mail invitations into spam folders. John Paul Moran, founder of the organizing group GOUSA, declared the event a success and asked the attendees to join him at Harry’s Bar, a far-right Proud Boy hotspot in the city, for happy hour.
Help defeat Herschel Walker and Trump's other degenerate picks for the Senate here at the Blue America 2022 Senate page. It's not too late to make a difference.
same here. the trumpist nazis are running against the incumbent democrap (long time, corrupt, worthless, but not overtly evil), biden, harris, inflation, student debt forgiveness and the IRS. they are, sorta, running away from trump and Dobbs.
the democrap is running against the overturn of roe, trump and moscow's bitch becoming $enate tyrant... again.
nobody runs FOR anything. just against the "other".
and, given the pathetic performance of BOTH political parties for the past 56 years, not a single sentient, sane american SHOULD poll in favor of either one.
So... more proof that americans are dumber than shit.
The ads are all political now... including the medicare part D horse shit that have saturated the airwaves for 18 months now.…
The attack ad linked in this post claims that Warnock wants to raise taxes on working Americans. Rick Scott's RSCC "Rescue America" plan originally called for a tax increase on working Americans:

He later withdrew that plank of the RSCC plan under political fire:

One could easily prepare a factually accurate attack ad stating: "The RSCC called for tax increases on working Americans" and run those ads in every state w/ a competitive Senate race. The GOP might respond by stating that they withdrew that plank, but let them do the explaining as to why they originally called for such increases and why they withdrew it. The damage will have already been done.
I re-ask my now-rhetorical question:…
