Dems outperforming 2020 early vote in key states



Republicans have no real answer to why we haven’t seen a red wave in the 5 House specials, in Kansas or in the early vote.

Maybe the rw shows up on Election Day but tens of millions of people have voted all over the country and GOP numbers are DOWN from 2020.

Ds outperformed 2020 in the 5 House specials and Kansas.

They are outperforming 2020 in the early vote in GA, IA, MI, NC, NM, NV, OH, PA, TX, VA, WI.

Recent high quality polls (NYT, Marist, etc) show D candidates outperforming 2020 election results in most of these states.

I’ve heard that over and over, every election.

That said, Hubster and I early voted here in Columbus at the Board of Elections yesterday. The place was really hoppin’ with folks of every age, race, and ethnicity, most of them carrying blue Democratic sample ballots.

Fingers crossed..toes, too..

About that red wave - where is it exactly?

Rs BELOW 2020 early vote nationally, and in GA, IA, MI, NC, NM, NV, OH, PA, TX, VA, WI.

In recent high quality Senate polls Rs below Trump in AZ, GA, NC, IA, OH, PA.

In 22 been Ds overperforming, not Rs. 2/

Having data showing big turnouts is more critical to me than the polling numbers.

If people turn out, we win.
