Democrats have cause for concern that they’re fading at a bad time ahead of the midterm elections after a summer surge fostered optimism that the party could buck historical trends and retain control of Congress.
A New York Times-Siena College poll released Monday found Republicans held a 49-45 lead over Democrats in the generic ballot roughly one month before November’s elections. That represents a shift from September, when the same poll found Democrats leading Republicans by 1 percentage point.
That poll followed a trend among other surveys that as recently as late September showed Democrats leading Republicans on the generic ballot, only for the lead to shrink or disappear altogether.
To some strategists, the shift in fortunes for Democrats is a matter of timing.
Ethan Winter, an analyst at the progressive group Data for Progress, said the Democrats’ outlook improved over the summer as the Supreme Court decision striking down Roe v. Wade coincided with falling gas prices and economic reports that indicated inflation was cooling.

Peaked? Seriously?
What could have possibly been a peak?

Inflation
Food prices
Gas prices
Home heating prices
Electricity prices
Crime steadily increasing
Foreign policy is utter shat
Etc.
Etc.
Etc.

Clearly, they are not at all worried about how they have almost completely ruined this nation in under 2 years, plus being on the way to a world war with Russia and China.
Their peak is when they rise to the bottom of the outhouse.
They Peaked?
Is that what they call looking up from the bottom of a 10 mile deep hole?
Yeah, I hear ya...
If most ‘rat campaign ads are anything like Tim Ryan’s in Ohio, they are turning people off big time. Transparent, hard to believe, denying obvious realities.
Yes, that would be a real plus.
About 3 AM on the morning after the last Presidential election.
The rate of descent has decreased slightly. It’s a peak!
They truly live in an alternate reality. peaked... f*ck outta here.
Also, if NYT poll shows GOP with a 4pt lead, rest assured its at least 8 then
It’s called gas prices.
