Does not matter. The democratic leadership will find some way to loose. Their current handling of President Elon and VP Trump just proves that.

capreece.bsky.social•10 hours ago

I believe that. However, I also believe Trump when he said before the election he was not worried because he already had "enough votes". It was not a throw away when Trump said Musk knows more about voting machines than anybody else. We gotta figure this out or Russia is us!

adamjewell.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Would be nice if that sentiment could carry the House special elections in 2025.

sophiag737.bsky.social•10 hours ago

This poll is trash Elon will fix the election.

elroy1313.bsky.social•11 hours ago

It may not matter the way the GOP is uprooting our entire government. That is the plan. They know they have a small window to fuck up our democracy for decades.

So cute...you think there will actually be elections??

lenabenas21.bsky.social•11 hours ago

It’s so unfortunate that folks sat out in November. 2 years of tyranny and chaos is going to do irreparable harm.

I hope the GOP doesn’t read this and start thinking about eliminating elections

Will it be a fair election, that is the question people should be asking 🤔

williamstlucia.bsky.social•11 hours ago

I ain't worried about them, damn polls.When one third of the country doesn't vote 😡

cv-danes.com•11 hours ago

But also, they want Democrats in charge who will actually take charge.

porscheguy.bsky.social•11 hours ago

While this is encouraging we need to not rest. Also, regardless of which party they want to be in the majority, people will still vote for their incumbent if they like him/her - even if in the other party. So, we need very strong D candidates to over run incumbent R’s.

nanraphael.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Waiting until 2026 will be too late. We don’t have that much time to save our democracy. We have maybe a month.

mmmautone.bsky.social•10 hours ago

This is only the most sliver of silver linings but if Dems can win big in state legislatures and maintain those wins at the end of the decade they can rewrite gerrymandered districts in hopefully more states. Obviously we could stop MAGA in the short term too.

Excuse me, but are we really still pretending we will have serious elections in 2026 if things continue as they are?

twinnett2543.bsky.social•11 hours ago

I hope Elon's election interference has been exposed by then, or it won't matter what the poll shows.

jbd23.bsky.social•11 hours ago

I've lost faith in the American electorate. The majority is a bunch of apathetic, ignorant, uneducated rubes who don't have the vaguest idea of what it means to be an American, to honor American democracy & its history & greatness. They are going to learn the hard way, or no way at all.

ajdiii.bsky.social•10 hours ago

If you’re looking for hope, even the uneducated rubes are waking up. Just look at the recent town halls in red districts.

freedomshift.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Dems better find a way to offset the voting regulations and protections nixed by Trump in the last 30 days.

If the Save Act goes through, many will have a hard time finding all the right documentation to confirm citizenship- and won’t be able to vote.

normanfreely.bsky.social•11 hours ago

I hope so. The whole checks and balances thing doesn't work when all three branches are controlled by extremists of the same ideology. Will America survive till the next mid-term? The Save Act will hurt dems chances of getting a fair election. MAGA are placing the pieces to retain their power.

blythe5050.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Is it just me or does anyone feel that taking poles right now is a bit early? We know the polls don’t work since 90 million people sat home on their couch. i’m not putting my hopes on anybody.

I’m afraid to say that I don’t think your democracy will make it to 2026. I believe what Musk and Trump are doing internally is also rigging things for elections to come (which I think is what they did this past election)

Polls don't mean jack. Remember the last election.

normanfreely.bsky.social•11 hours ago

At this point to have any sense of security the lead needs to be 5+ points. Voter turnout is just not enough. MAGA comes out to vote. Plus, I think some of them lie when getting poled.

frankprovo.com•11 hours ago

People most definitely lie about if they'll vote and for whom. But, you ever been the recipient of a phone poll? They take so long fatigue sets in, and you feel like lying to wrap it up.

normanfreely.bsky.social•11 hours ago

I've had a call twice. Once was short and sweet. The other was what you said. I had volunteers come to my door once to make sure I was going to vote and if I had a plan. Wasn't an official pollster though. I also know that the census use to do a lot of those polls, and provide data. Not anymore.

frankprovo.com•11 hours ago

It's an antiquated system prone to more than just margin of error. Failed us the first Trump victory. Really failed us this last time. Short of having access to past voter behavior, I'm not sure how to prove out any of them.

zphi93.bsky.social•11 hours ago

This is a moot point. Does anyone really believe we'll have a free/fair election again? If the Repubs thought so, they'd be trying to appease their constituents, not piss them off. They're burning all their bridges with abandon because they know they have nothing to worry about.

I don’t think it helps “the cause” to delude ourselves about having free and fair elections TWO YEARS from now.
Attention should be focused on pushing back and protecting the most vulnerable, not falsely congratulating ourselves on polls about elections two years away. This promotes complacency.
