“Why are pollsters seeing this?” asks @MarkHalperin about predictions of a “blue tsunami” sweeping the midterms. “Because for whatever reason — maybe it’s that the Dallas convention backfired. Maybe it’s just voters starting to focus — there’s a lot of public and private polling data that shows the president has cratered. His approval rating is at record lows … The war is extremely unpopular. The president is extremely unpopular. And the president —  it could be the biggest miscalculation of all time — said, ‘make this race about me.’ Well, that that may not be working out so great.” @JustinSayfie @KevinPWalling

It's because DJT ran on "no new wars" and then started wars. He viciously betrayed his base, but Mark is a Zionist hack, so he doesn't understand that some people have principles.

I’m no pollster but I’m all in for voting a straight Republican ticket. I’ll be damned if I vote for these crazy commie liberals!

I already said it feels like the start of COVID under @realDonaldTrump. @Peoples_Pundit @honestpollster @barnes_law answer is NO if anyone think Trump doing rally's can help midterms, Trump IS DAMAGED, he drove himself straight into a wall. Fake MAGA @catturd2 @GuntherEagleman

If Republicans abandon their own to vote for the party that believes people born with a Dick are female, they'll deserve the buggery they get.

Sure the president may not be popular bfd I will never support a party that is romancing socialism! And is crazy! This race isn’t about him it’s about not turning into Venezuela

I believe some of the polling not all of it. Remember the administration is dismantling the uniparty's huge network of government fraud funded operations. The uniparty with the controlled media is 110% in on doing as much damage as it can B4 the elections because they know two more years of Donald could be fatal to them. Of course the controlled media ( including it's captive pollsters ) are going to do everything they possible can to hurt this president because they have an existential fear of what he might accomplish. This as close the deep state has been to being supplanted in one hundred years. 🧐

So - I’m not happy with Trump’s performance right now. I want us out of Iran and I want my cheap gas again. BUT there is no way in hell I’d vote Democrat after what they did during the Biden administration. My adult children on the other hand would vote Democrat IF they vote.

I’ve never seen someone so giddy and thrilled that republicans might lose Where’s your critical reporting about how the Dems have become psychotic Mark? Oh no the Commies get a pass Jesus - what are you going to tell your kids when they’re living in a communist hellhole?

your full of shvt. 'muh blue wave'. Repubs will gain in the senate and likely to hold the House. Nobody wants their kids nuts chopped off by crazed psycho communist Democrat perverts. They're only close in the House b/c they rigged the census to give illegals representation.

And could also be because the party in power historically loses the midterms..

No consequential events preceded this shift in Democrat media polling and none of it is showing in early voting. Look for other reasons closer to home.

A huge surprise will hit people in November this year…. People may not like some things Trump has done BUT he did close the border and deport a ton of illegal shitheads. People have also not forgotten what the Dems did for four years. Ramming trans/gay lifestyle down everyone’s throats, using the justice system against opponents, attacking traditionalism and people’s lifestyles because they go to church orbeork hard. These same people may be bitching but they will hold their noses and vote red before they turn to Bernie and his buddies for leadership! Mark it… GOP stays in control

The in fighting in Republican circles is always what destroys anything a Republican president tries to accomplish. People can’t look at jar as half full instead of half empty. Of course DEM media doesn’t help.

The only reason why Trump won twice was because both times he had weak unlikable woman as opponents.

I don't know a soul that has changed their minds about Trump - good or bad. Maybe a bit more gridlock with democrats taking the House.

Americans are so fickle. Change for change sake doesn't always mean better. Dems in change will be a disaster and take us so far from the good things Trump has done and you are blind, dumb, or very biased if you cannot see the good things.

Never been polled in my life neither has my husband or anyone I know personally - we are all voting Republican.

Or maybe Americans just have short term memories and forget how screwed up democrats made our country under Biden.

Yes, and "Trump will not win 2024" and "Every president does well in the midterms"

Halperin has never gotten any political analysis correct - and what he is trying to pass as such will also humiliate him. House is a very narrow win no matter which party. Senate stays GOP plus at least 2 and the only D flip is NC. Winning!

This is cringe behavior for you Mark…no wonder your numbers are dropping. When it’s not ‘fair and balanced’ the educated voted tunes OUT.

I don’t approve of the job Trump is going and the Senate is even worst. But if you think I’m ever going to vote for a Democrat again in my lifetime, you would be wrong.

Never allow these lunkheads to dictate political narratives again. They know history is going to send the boomers to prison nonsense in pretending they have legitimate reasons to rule.
