Midnight blue California is often cited as an indicator of national trends.
If this is still the case, then the big blue wave predicted by some pollsters and progressive pundits will become a big blue drip. Early voting in the Golden State is trending bright red.
Election Day is around the corner and Californians have been voting for three weeks. Given the data on who has voted so far, it does not point to a big surge for Democrats.
There are scores of first time candidates running for office but actual voter turnout in California so far has been average for a midterm election.
KPIX 5 talked to an expert who says, this trend is bad news for Democrats.
“What we’re seeing in the early returns though, is that the early returns are largely coming from those older, whiter, homeowners, more Republicans,” said Paul Mitchell, Vice-President of Political Data, Inc. “And young voters are not returning their ballots at the same rate.”
The response from Republicans may prevent the Democrat Party takeover of the House of Representatives, complete with Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Any report, opinion, assertion, or prognostication that indicates the Democrats are going to win big next Tuesday will be nuclear-grade gas-lighting.
I am going to go out on a limb, head to the edge of a branch, and grab a leaf to predict that when the actual votes are tallied Nov. 6th, the Republicans are going to make significant gains across the country. And while I am skeptical that the GOP will take the California governor’s race, I believe that the Democrats won’t be flipping as many of the state’s congressional seats as initially projected.

Democrats outnumber Republicans like 5-1. That’s why the state is screwed up.
——nuclear-grade gas-lighting.——
Help please...... what is the derivation/meaning of the term “gas lighting”?
The 1944 film with Gregory Peck and Ingrid Bergman. Peck drives the Bergman character insane by getting her believe in things she didn’t do.
Polling averages have the Dems taking the House by 9 seats. That’s pretty close.
It was a movie from about the 40s ... just goggle it ...
Aren’t illegals registered to vote when they get their drivers license in California?
If R turnout in CA is on target, Ds will fall short of those 9 seats.
Polls have them taking 8 in California. At that rate, they’ll still win the House by about 9.
Charlie Cook? The same idiot said Ds would retake the Senate in 2016.
Cali has mail in which I do every year. I go into my garage, put my head in a cardboard box and fill out my ballot.
Today was the day of early voting at an actual voting station.
Watch the RED TSUMANI in Cali.
I early voted with all of my names.
Sent our absentee ballots in last week.
How do they know if a voter is white?
Lately, I’m noticing lots of surly looking people dressed head to toe in purple. Some of them even have purple hair.
I don’t get a good feeling about them.
They are either showing their resistance gang colors or trying to blend in.
I expect to see purple gangs in the polling place.
A bunch of DMV employees are wearing head to toe purple.
DMV is part of the cheating spectrum here, IMO.
True, but it's also a measure of enthusiasm, and indications thus far are that GOP voters are focused and motivated to keep the demtrash out of power.
Go to your County Voting Registrar and request an Absentee Ballot. We've been doing it for some years in Orange County. Early voting and no hassles going to Voting location.
The only hassle is going through the extensive Voting paperwork they send you. Simple solution: Google California RNC and check off the boxes they recommend. In all these years, I've found one recommendation I disagreed with about Propositions. Too late for you now, but do it for the future. Yes, your absentee ballot is counted.
There’s so much conflicting data that I think that’s kind of what we’ll see on Tuesday - a stalemate, more or less.
I think we’ll gain senate seats but some gettable ones will slip away like Montana, West Virginia and Florida. I think the vulnerable House R’s will split about 50/50 with the D’s.
I think Gillum wins FL but Kemp wins GA. There are a lot of black voters in both states, but FL isn’t GA the last black candidate on a statewide ballot won there twice. :-(
Of course, I would love nothing more than for another 2016 to expose pollsters and their grandstanding fake statistician “modelers” as no more credible than Rick Wilson’s career as a GOP consultant. That’s not to say they will be going anywhere since their predictions are sort of like sports radio predictions. It doesn’t matter if you’re always wrong. People just like to hear fearless predictions and fantasize about the future.
We hide well.
