The Broadside | Democrats Panic, But Don’t Get Cocky

Political polls are notoriously imprecise, but they do give us a sense of what the electorate might be thinking. Some recent polls have put Democrats into a tailspin, including this one from NBC “News.”

In the new poll — which was conducted Oct. 4-8 — Harris gets support from 48% of registered voters in a head-to-head matchup, while Trump gets an identical 48%. Another 4% say they are undecided or wouldn’t vote for either option when forced to choose between those two major-party candidates.

That’s a change from September’s NBC News poll, which found Harris leading Trump by 5 points, 49%-44%, though that result was within the margin of error.

An expanded ballot including third-party candidates also shows this shift, with 47% of registered voters in the new poll picking Trump, 46% supporting Harris and a combined 7% picking other candidates or saying they’re undecided.

Because national polls are also notoriously biased in favor of Democrats, the latest findings mean that Trump has opened up a considerable lead.

The results align with a recent Wall Street Journal poll. Via Breitbart:

The NBC poll reflects other poll results, with the Wall Street Journal poll showing Trump leading Harris, 46%-45%, nationwide. The Journal says that the result in swing states is too close to call but currently gives Harris the edge.

CNN is worried too, now that Republicans have a “GOP ADVANTAGE for the first time in many years.”

If swing states are becoming “too close to call” (as the WSJ puts it above), that bodes well for Trump; if one swing state is in play, it essentially means that all swing states are in play. The GOP ADVANTAGE is beginning to show up in some swing states. Activist Scott Pressler, who leads Early Vote Action PAC, is seeing the difference in Pennsylvania.

“Let’s talk about the data for a second and why I think, objectively, we’re in the best place to win Pennsylvania [compared to] four or even eight years ago,” Presler told Morning Wire.

“Two things that really stick out to me are, a.) Since 2020, we have actually cut in half the amount of registered Democrats in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, where they had an advantage of 650,000 four years ago,” he explained. “Now that advantage has been narrowed to 333,000.”

“But the other thing that leads me to believe that President Trump has a real shot at winning Pennsylvania is that Democrats are down 416,000 mail-in ballot requests from where they were four years ago at the same time,” Presler revealed.

Voters are also reassessing their experience under President Trump’s first term.

He then noted further polling indicating that only a quarter of families say Biden-era policies are helping their family, whereas 45% say they are “hurting” them. 

“And then here’s the interesting twist. We also asked folks, ‘Think back to when Donald Trump was president. Did his policies help or hurt your family?’ And look at the difference, 44% helping, 31 hurting. Trump’s — the retrospective, you would say, opinion of Trump’s presidency among voters, arguably higher now than when he was president,” Kornacki said. 

For some people, the biggest indicator that Trump will win is his lead in betting odds.

Former President Trump took a double-digit lead in the betting odds over Vice President Kamala Harris for the first time since July, signaling potential momentum for the former president as Election Day draws near.

Trump opened up a 10-point lead in the Real Clear Politics betting average on Sunday, his largest lead over Harris and the largest lead any candidate has enjoyed since the former president’s 10-point lead on July 31.

The lead comes as some in Democratic circles have attempted to quell panic within the ranks after recent polling that has seemingly trended toward Trump,

This is all good for president-in-exile Donald J. Trump. But as I’ve said before, especially since the last presidential election, don’t get cocky. The Democrats don’t want to, and don’t intend to, lose. The only way we can prevent the inevitable cheating that they will engage in to preserve their power is to make the margin of victory so big that they can’t possibly manufacture enough votes to win.

Get registered (if you still can) and make every effort to get out and vote on November 5. And bring someone with you to vote too.

Daily Broadside | Political Hack and Pretend President Brandon is a Fabulist and Americans Don’t Like Him

Before I get to the meat of what I wanted to write about today, subversive anti-American Homeland “Security” Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas faces an impeachment vote in the House of Representatives today. Because Republicans have a narrow majority, it is unlikely that Mayhorkas will be impeached. Even if he is, the Senate won’t convict.

With that drama happening in the halls of the clown show that is Washington, D.C., I give you your “president”:

That’s Joe “Trunalimunumaprzure!” Biden telling his audience that after he became “president” he met with French president Francois Mitterrand and told him, “AmERiCa iS BaCk, bABy!” (slightly edited for clarity). The only difficulty with that (I mean, if you look at it from a certain angle) is that MITTERRAND HAS BEEN DEAD FOR 28 YEARS. Oh, and that Brandon referred to the dead French president as the “Chancellor of Germany.” But other than that, totally right on, Fat.

Those of you who put him in office three years ago, you go right ahead and vote for this pathetic excuse of a politician and “leader” of the free world again this November.

In the meantime you’ll have to work really hard to overcome the headwinds that your brilliant Mensa-level genius faces from president-in-exile Donald J. Trump.

President Joe Biden hit yet another new low in his approval rating (37%) in the latest NBC News poll released Sunday, raising concern of the Democrat pollster, who said the “damning” results show “a presidency in peril.”

Former President Donald Trump not only leads Biden by 5 points (47%-42%) in the national poll, but also leads by big margins:

  • 23 points on mental and physical health to be president (46%-23%)
  • 22 points on handling the economy (55%-33%)
  • 21 points on dealing with crime and violence (50%-29%)
  • 16 points on being competent and effective (48%-32%)
  • 11 points on improving America’s standing in the world (47%-36%)
  • 35 points on securing the southern border (57%-22%)

Illegal immigration has been widely deemed the No. 1 voting issue, according to exit polls in the early GOP primary states.

I’d bold those numbers to emphasize them, but they’re all great.

“On every measure compared to 2020, Biden has declined. Most damning, the belief that Biden is more likely to be up to the job — the chief tenet of the Biden candidacy — has evaporated.”

The numbers look great now for Trump and “difficult” for the incumbent going into the heart of the 2024 primary cycle, according to Republican pollster Bill McInturff of Public Opinion Strategies.

“It is hard to imagine a more difficult set of numbers before a reelection,” McInturff told NBC News.

With 73% of registered voters say the U.S. is on the wrong track under Biden, the only silver lining for the sitting president and Horwitt is there remains time to turn the numbers back around.

Basically, three out of four registered voters think Biden has screwed us up. And he has.

But the momentum in all areas, as the pollsters noted, remains steadily rising for Trump:

  • Border: Trump raised lead from 16 points in September 2020 to 35 points in January 2024.
  • Economy: Trump raised his 7-point lead in October 2020 to 22 points today.
  • Crime and violence: Trump turned a 4-point deficit during the 2020 riots to a 21-point lead today, a swing of 25 points.
  • Competent and effective: Trump flipped a 9-point deficit in June 2020 to a 16-point lead today, another 25-point swing.
  • Mental and physical health to be president: Trump turned a 1-point deficit in October 2020 — when he was hospitalized with COVID-19 — into a 23-point lead today.

All of these numbers are from an NBC poll. NBC is a far-left mouthpiece for the Democrat party; if their polling shows Trump with this kind of lead, the numbers themselves are probably actually better than being reported.

But.

The Democrats, the media, the progressives, the Marxists and the Leftists (is there an echo in here?) will absolutely, positively, wholly, utterly, completely and totally cheat to win the 2024 election. There is no doubt, uncertainty, hesitation, ambiguity, misgivings or skepticism about it.

In a recent article from The Epoch Times (I encourage you to subscribe), author Kevin Stocklin looks back at how a “well-funded cabal” influenced stole the 2020 election and how that will undoubtably affect the 2024 election.

While former President Donald Trump appears to be cruising toward the GOP nomination with a polling lead over incumbent President Joe Biden in key swing states, Republicans will likely face a much steeper climb in the general election than they realize.

Fundamental changes in state election laws, coupled with an alliance of left-wing federal, corporate, financial, and nonprofit entities, have handed the Democratic Party advantages that the GOP may be unable to overcome.

[…]

In 2020, the landscape shifted in the wake of two events: The COVID-19 pandemic and the death of George Floyd in police custody. A narrative emerged that existing state voting laws had to change because they were racist and hazardous to public health.

The 2020 ‘Shadow Campaign’
In a laudatory 2021 article in Time titled “The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election,” author Molly Ball detailed a “well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage, and control the flow of information.”

While praising the effort, Ms. Ball said that the actors “were not rigging the election; they were fortifying it.”

The key to the whole mirage of a non-rigged election were the changes to “rules and laws” that affected how and when people could vote.

The “conspiracy,” as Ms. Ball described it, included DNC operatives, union leaders, tech and social-media companies, Wall Street bankers, and a network of nonprofit donor funds that pooled hundreds of millions of dollars to finance “armies of poll workers and got millions of people to vote by mail for the first time.”

While the coalition’s purpose, ostensibly, was “saving democracy,” the overriding goal was to keep President Trump from winning a second term.

And the “well-funded cabal” appears to be gearing up for a repeat performance in 2024, with a few new twists.

Interesting that the Left felt the need to “fortify” the election to keep Trump from winning a second term and that, lo and behold!, the results favored them.

The DNC and groups allied with them rely on a five-part strategy to ensure that President Trump didn’t then and will not now get a second term.

That strategy includes intense legal pressure on state election officials to loosen voter integrity laws, a data nerve center that contains personal profiles of voters to predict how they will vote, an alliance of left-wing foot soldiers to bring out Democratic votes in key swing states, a collection of groups capable of bringing violence and mass unrest to cities and towns if called upon, and a network of financing vehicles to fund it all.

It’s not impossible for Trump to win, but after the gross misconduct of the Left in the 2020 election, all bets are off.

“As for the person who hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save it.”

Tuesday’s Reading: John 13-14

Happy Tuesday and the second day of a new month, which I missed acknowledging yesterday. If someone from Ziploc could talk to anyone from the cereal industry — anyone, really — that’d be great.

So there’s a new poll out that shows Biden’s popularity cratering even harder that it was earlier this year. When even NBC’s Chuck Todd is calling attention to it, you may want to pump the brakes.

Todd said, “We have a brand new NBC news poll out this morning still with some scary news for the Democrats. The overarching message, Americans have lost their confidence in President Joe Biden and their optimism for the country. At least they have right now. Just 22% of adults say we are headed in the right direction. A shocking 71% say we’re on the wrong track and that includes a near majority of Democrats who are saying that.”

“At least they have right now,” he says, not wanting to concede that this might be more than a temporary lapse in enthusiasm. You can watch the video at the link.

Nearly 3 in 4 Americans say we’re on the wrong track, including a near majority of Democrats. But Joey Sugar Cone has been flaming out since his inauguration to, you know, restore muh norms and stuff.

Open borders, supply chain shortages, spiking gas prices and empty grocery shelves, snippy “impatience” with vax-refusnics, ramming trillions of dollar of debt down our collective throats in asinine social spending and infrastructure bills, holding J6 protestors without trial for nothing more than vandalism, subverting American education with crackpot Critical Race Theory, allowing BLM and antifa to burn, loot and murder with impunity, tearing down statues of American icons like Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, then labeling normal Americans who protest school board decisions as domestic terrorists, the outrageous pullout from Afghanistan leaving Americans behind, killing the Keystone Pipeline while giving the Russians a pipeline into Europe, making us oil-dependent yet again after becoming a net exporter, floating the idea that we give foreigners who broke our laws to squat here and expect the government (read: the middle class) to take care of them some $450,000 a piece, then allowing Joe’s whoring, cocaine-ingesting Ukrainian- and Chinese-money-grubbing troubled artist of a son selling influence for $500,000 per piece for his crap art while all kinds of vile and untrue rumors and hoaxes were perpetuated against a legitimately elected president for four years.

Yeah, Joey is uniting the country. Like this:

Remember, this is the guy who got more than 81 MILLION votes, the most popular presidential candidate in AMERICAN HISTORY! I mean, I’m INSPIRED.

LOL.

Joe Biden’s presidency is a crapload of fabulist theater being played out by junior commies who can’t avoid reality.
