There are 3 types of polling:

Data based polls - where you take some form of data and spin it to support whatever results serve your purpose.

Predictive polls - where you just make up data to support what you think will happen.

Wishful polls - where you just make up results without any data to support what you want to happen.


Personally, I think the purpose of polls is simply to give the liberal media something to report so the right can see how pointless it is to bother voting and get people on the right to stay home.

This kind of stuff is ridiculous.

It's almost a given that Greg Abbott will be re elected, he is still a very popular governor. But yeah, it's crazy that certain people believe that Republicans in Texas will vote for MAGA conservative Greg Abbott for governor, Dan Patrick for Lt Governor, and all down the ballot, but somehow vote for a tranny loving commie Democrat like Talarico for U.S. Senate. And ignore the fact that Paxton, like Abbott and Patrick, has been winning statewide elections since 2018, Talarico nada.

Gaslighting is all the Democrats have in the most coveted race in the country right now. Ridiculous indeed.

Yeah. A lot of polls in Texas said Cornholio would beat Paxton by anywhere from 2 to 5 points. Paxton won and it was almost 2 to 1. Cornholio and Thune spent over $100 million in the primary to defeat Paxton.

The candidates have polls that are accurate. I haven't seen Paxton spending a lot on ads. I think it's because he knows he doesn't need to. I can't see Trannyfreako winning statewide in Texas. He'll probably carry Austin by a good margin. But you know what they say about Austin. The best thing about Austin is it's just 15 minutes from Texas.

I’ve checked my county and the election results only show who has voted, the actual tally is not added or revealed until Election Day. So unless they are searching databases for who is registers as a dem or a republican and comparing that to who voted, they have no idea what the numbers are

Yeah, perfectly normal. Happens all the time.

Yeah... they use them to dispirit conservative voters.

In Michigan, Rasmussen Reports has El-Sayed +5
I find that hard to believe.


Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed is Angered Because Pete Hegseth’s Family Supported Him

It would appear that Michigan Senate candidate Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed has just outlined why he is so filled with anger toward white people. During a rather bizarre rant against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, El-Sayed attempts to ridicule Hegseth by comparing the level of support they both received during childhood.

As noted by Chuck Ross, “Hegseth was an all-state point guard in high school in Minnesota, set various school records. He played college ball and got some floor time in the 2001 NCAA tournament. El-Sayed played club lacrosse at Michigan.”

Now WATCH:



Nicki Minaj outlines the psychology accurately: “If you listen carefully, it’s a misplaced anger at his own parents for not making him feel worthy that turned into raging jealousy of other children who had parents that lifted them up and poured into them. He’s projected all of that onto white people. He needs to mend his heart before thinking about running for any office. White ppl haven’t hurt him. He knows exactly who did. Notice how he doesn’t get the satisfaction he was craving when the interviewer simply anchors himself & doesn’t validate that experience.”

It's been happening for so long in the City/County of Milwaukee that it's been a running joke around here for decades.

In Milwaukee and elsewhere, the State Legislature wouldn't change the law to allow counting of mail in and absentee ballots prior to Election Day. This leaves a massive number of ballots to count in short order, with a large impact on totals in the State. Thus, the "ballot dump".

You'd know that if you'd spent 30 seconds looking into it. Have to assume you haven't.

The counting, handled at Central Count, the Italian Community Center this year, is open to the public. Go observe.

Yeah, it's total garbage from Polymarket. It's all meaningless buying and selling speculations. As for political polls in general, they're all agenda driven manipulations and have zero credence with me. Why most people haven't learned since 2016 is a real puzzler.

You don't have to "assume" anything. My comment stands about the fact that late night reversals in election results have been happening for decades in this state, regardless of the purported reason why or their presumed legitimacy.

Looks like the polls were more right than wrong this time.

I believe the polls 'worked' in that analysis of the election will reveal the largest factor was NOT that voters preferred Democrats, but rather that Republicans gave up, stayed home and didn't vote!

Republicans didnt learn shit from the 2018 election, and they very much "earned" the ass kicking they took last night. They know how to complain a lot but can't actually govern as a collective.

I'm realizing the the 2024 election wasn't so much as the nation wanting or begging for Trump as it was a repudiation of Harris.

The polling was about 2% off in favor of Republicans! I assumed the progressive pollsters were trying to suppress Republican votes while keeping it close to the actual results. Instead, it looks like they were making sure they did not underrepresent Republicans this cycle.

I’d say the Republicans accomplished that for me without any help from the polls. No way was I going to vote for Ken Paxton. I sat this one out. America spoke when it elected Trump in 2024. Well, it just spoke again that it didn’t like the job he and his crew were doing. Anyone who was honest could see this was coming.

^^ Wow, you say that like you're proud of it...Well at least now we know you're NOT on our side! I'd hate to think you were, only to get shot in the back when we thought you had our backs!
