'Anger on their minds': NBC News poll finds sky-high interest and polarization ahead of midterms
NBC 'News' ^ | 10/23/22 | Mark Murray

Posted on 10/24/2022 12:34:35 AM PDT by Libloather

Less than three weeks before Election Day, voter interest has reached an all-time high for a midterm election, with a majority of registered voters saying this election is “more important” to them than past midterms.

What’s more, 80% of Democrats and Republicans believe the political opposition poses a threat that, if not stopped, will destroy America as we know it.

And two-thirds of reliable Democratic and Republican voters say they’d still support their party’s political candidate, even if that person had a moral failing that wasn’t consistent with their own values.

Those are some of the major findings of a new national NBC News poll, which shows a competitive contest for November and offers positive signs for both parties.

On Democrats' side, President Joe Biden’s approval rating remains steady at 45%, while congressional preference continues to be relatively even (with 47% of registered voters preferring Democrats to control Congress, versus 46% who want Republicans in charge) and “threats to democracy” are voters’ No. 1 issue for the third straight NBC News poll.

For Republicans, the positive signs are that Biden’s approval among independents and swing-state voters is in the 30s and the low 40s, that the GOP once again holds the enthusiasm advantage and that Republicans lead in congressional preference among the smaller set of likely voters, 48% to 47%, although that’s well within the survey’s margin of error.

The ‘threats to democracy’ thing is equally divided between Democrats and Republicans. The more dishonest members of the press allow people to wrongly conclude ‘threats to democracy’ is the usual BS coming out of MSNBC. It’s not. Our side feels democrat totalitarians are a threat too.

45% ROTFLMAO!!!! Who are they trying to kid at this point?

You missed the bus NBC. The time to swing back to something at least remotely approaching reality with your fake push polls - so as to preserve at least a modicum of credibility for the future - was a while ago.

Now they’ll be shocked by what happens on Nov 8. Or at least they’ll have to claim they’re shocked. As an added bonus, we get to throw their wildly inaccurate push poll in their faces for every future election.

Lolz. Its such a lame attempt to distract people from real issues that it would be comical if it were not so sinister.

Republicans who believe that are right.
Democrats who believe that have been deceived by their own party - again.

I had an “Inflation Experience” last night. Every so often I’ll get a take out chicken dinner. What cost a little over $9 last June now cost a little over $18.

Little things like that are getting people’s attention.

The problem is, there’s a lot of people who are brain-dead sheep. How did they get that way? Fear...fear of COVID, fear of ‘insurrection’, fear of ‘domestic terrorism’, and all blasted into their minds by the Enemedia. They want change, but the Enemedia wants them to believe that voting differently will only lead to disaster.

I have 5 voting-aged people in my house. All of us are voting as conservative as as possible, including my youngest daughter, who is voting for the 1st time. I just hope our ballots get counted.

I agree. Everyone can see which way the wind is truly blowing. Joe and the Democrats are not popular. Nevertheless, I think we have a situation where the ballots will be counted and the Democrats will come out ahead all over the place. And what happens next? Nothing. So -- why wouldn't they cheat?

NBC is pretending it doesn’t work to sow polarization and division 24/7.

The following shows me NBC over polls Democrats and are still cheerleading.

“Those are some of the major findings of a new national NBC News poll, which shows a competitive contest for November and offers positive signs for both parties.

On Democrats' side, President Joe Biden’s approval rating remains steady at 45%, while congressional preference continues to be relatively even (with 47% of registered voters preferring Democrats to control Congress, versus 46% who want Republicans in charge) and “threats to democracy” are voters’ No. 1 issue for the third straight NBC News poll.

Sure… GOPers and dems are motivated to vote, but the indies are voting red this time around.
