Democrat Pollster Doug Schoen Says To ‘Brace For A Republican Wave’
American Lookout ^ | 10/18/2022 | Mike LaChance

Doug Schoen is a well respected pollster and is also a Democrat. When he tells you a Republican is going to win, he is not cheerleading, he’s just being honest.

In a new column written with Andrew Stein, Schoen is saying that this is going to be a wave election for Republicans.

This confirms the findings of several other polling outfits which are now showing numbers trending to Republicans.

Schoen and Stein write at the Wall Street Journal:

Brace Yourself for a Republican Wave

The Republican Party is on the cusp of a substantial midterm election victory that could rival their wins in 1994 and 2010.

There has been a 3-point swing to Republicans in generic-ballot polling in just the last month, according to the RealClearPolitics average. Democrats led by as much as 1.3 points in September, but as of Monday, Republicans were up by 1.8.

A late September ABC News/Washington Post poll found the Republican advantage concentrated where it’s needed most. The GOP had a 5-point lead among likely voters nationwide, but a 21-point margin in “competitive” congressional districts. Other battleground-district polls, from CBS News, Economist/YouGov and CNN, showed the GOP with a much narrower lead, but a consistent one…

If there are no upsets on either side and the toss-ups are evenly split, that brings Republicans to a 240-195 majority—a gain of 28 seats. A Republican sweep of the toss-up races would expand the majority to 259-176. That’s vanishingly unlikely, but so is a Democratic sweep of the toss-ups—which would still leave the GOP with a seven-seat majority…

The Senate has become less prone to major shifts as voting patterns have tended to line up with those in presidential races. Since 2014, the Republicans have never held fewer than 50 seats or more than 54. But with the chamber divided 50-50, a net gain of a single seat would give the GOP control. RealClearPolitics projects the Republicans will gain two seats, in Georgia and Nevada, and hold their current seats, for a 52-seat majority.

As the midterms get closer, they look better and better for the GOP.

As voters shift their attention to the economy and crime, polls begin to hint at a major GOP advantage.https://t.co/ZZDj7RAuby

As “The Real Spark” on Youtube says....

“Hold up. Wait a minute. Something ain’t right.”

PLENTY of time for the GOP to screw it up and snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.

It may be obvious to us, but Schoen is a Democrat (though jaded a bit lately).

It's nice to hear his opinion on this matter.

I do agree that of all the dem prognosticators, Schoen is more honest than most.

Back when all the redistricting was happening late last year and early this year there was a story quoting a Dem insider. In order to create the maximum number of Dem Congressional districts, Dems had formed districts with just a few percent advantage for Dems.

The Dem big shot said as long as 2022 was a normal election, Dems might be ok. However, if there was a red wave, a lot of Dem districts were going to go Republican. He was worried that it wouldn’t be just swing districts that would go Red, but districts that Dems were counting on. Fingers crossed we see that red tsunami!

Watch the Repubs fritter away this opportunity. If they do win, I want some b*llbusting... not some limp-wristed soy boy response. When you’re given a chance, use it to do the right thing. Don’t think about your stupid political career.

I just had someone tell me that their monthly National Grid energy bill, which is on budget billing, has gone up 66%. How does this plan work? Budget Billing takes the average amount that you usually pay on your National Grid bills in 1 year and breaks this amount up into 12 balanced monthly payments. You will still pay for the amount of energy you use every year, but this plan helps to even out the amount of your monthly bills.

He was payig $100/ mth, then last month it went to $200 and this month it's $250 (x 12). That's because the bill is light and heat and heat is natural gas. So my prognostications about this being a very expensive Winter heating season is now based on facts - and people with oil or LP heat are feeling the pain as well. Right before the elections people are getting this surprise, and they aren't happy. Hopefully they can put 2 and 2 together and vote the Dems OUT.

I hope the stupid party has plans that it can implement immediately without paying attention to the inevitable media hysteria and street riots organized by the fascists and BLM.

“It was always a wave it’s just at some point to keep some credibility they have to stop gaslighting. 3 weeks away and the gaslighting is stopping.”

Exactly,

The beatdown these assholes are about to take is going to be a beautiful event.

High inflation, bad energy policies, woke ideology and stolen elections have consequences.

All Republican leadership should resign or promise to resign if the party wins. Let new blood take over the leadership posts.
