CNN POLL: Which party would you rather see in control of Congress after next year’s congressional elections? (RV, with leaners)
🟦 Democrats: 52%
🟥 Republicans: 48%
That’s really scary IMO, 48% STILL lean Republican!!
The economy sucks almost as bad as during COVID now, unemployment is increasing, wage values are decreasing, Trump is running a fascist regime, and working on undermining democracy, USA is losing allies left and right, and ICE is picking Americans up in the street. And Republicans are actively waging war on every single minority there is.
Seriously Fox, and Right wing radio have portrayed democrats as the epitome of evil, or working eith the literal christian devil. If you take your faith even the slightest bit seriously you will not or cannot possibly vote for a democrat no matter how bad it may get.
Look at them trying to deify Charlie Kirk, the man said some absolutely vile things and he was fucking mild compared to people like Fuentes, Milo, Miller and even Alex Jones. They never see what he said about the civil rights movement, or black pilots. They only see a good christiam boy taken down for expressing an opinion. It shouldnt surprise a single soul its this close
It’s a cult — plain and simple. As someone looking from the outside, it’s bizarre so many people make the political party they vote for their entire personality. With merch and everything. I can’t wrap my head around it.
It kind of doesn’t though. The specific thing it found (italicization added)
The poll found that large shares of Americans believe Republicans’ views on crime and policing, immigration and the economy are closer to their own than Democrats’ views, according to CNN’s report. Republicans have a 15-point advantage on crime and policing, a 7-point advantage on immigration and a 5-point advantage on the economy, according to the poll.
and earlier in the article
The poll also found that 58% of respondents said things are going “pretty” or “very” badly in the United States today, while 42% said things are going “pretty” or “very” well. Americans still carry negative views of both political parties, with 52% having an unfavorable view of Democrats and 51% having an unfavorable view of Republicans.
A relatively large portion of Americans think something isn’t working right now and aren’t happy with what they’re getting. They would still like to solve all of their problems by just inflicting violence on the right people because we have watched too many bad action movies and cop shows and modern military shooters and have some seriously fucked up beliefs about the utility of violence, but Americans see gardeners and school teachers and doctors and parents being dragged away by masked government agents that lash out violently with zero provocation and they say “no, not like that, you’re not hurting the right people, this isn’t what I voted for, etc.”
Also, Republicans numbers are being artificially boosted by the fact that Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries can’t go more than three days at a time without saying something that makes them sound completely full of shit.
I’m curious what will happen when this year’s harvest withers on the vine (because of a lack of farm workers, thanks to new immigration policies) and food prices skyrocket.

How can Republicans still have 48% support?
Decades of unfilteted right wing propoganda.

People like a lot of those things, I would say the ICE thing probably makes Republicans more popular
You are right, the poll kind of shows that, with Republicans leading on immigration.
It’s still scary that the American people think like that.

48% always vote Democrat.
48% always vote Republican.
It’s the 4% that decide elections.
Yeah, that’s what it looked like in 2016 too.
The economy has not hit the shitter just yet. Wait until end of Q4 when the economy starts to really tank and that 48% will erode a bit.
I’m curious what will happen when this year’s harvest withers on the vine (because of a lack of farm workers, thanks to new immigration policies) and food prices skyrocket.
