(#5003) Media polling doesn't make sense

      That there is even a chance for republicans in this cycle seems ludicrous. With insurrection and a massive hate for women, people of color and the middle working poor class in general, the idea that republicans could win the midterms is mind boggling. How can it even be possible? I think the media is skewing the polls they take toward being more accepting of republican tactics to destroy our democracy than being even handed or even calling out republican candidates who are well grounded in trying to destroy our democracy.
     I am sorry here but the polling sites can kiss my ass. They seem to be more a business than a reality check. And as a business they have to treat both sides as if they are equal in order to get the payouts they need to exist. So although the poling seems to favor democrats in the senate and republicans in the house I call bullshit! I think we democrats could easily gain 8 Senate seats and add another 10 house seats at minimum. I would be in the minority on this since the media has done such a good job of skewing favorability toward republicans. Yet the gut feeling I am getting tells me that most people know republicans are the problem in our society and many will vote accordingly.
     Too much weight is being given to historical trends and gerrymandered districts. What republicans have done and are still doing has transcended behavior within bounds of normalcy and have effectively destroyed their chances at being considered as serious public servants. They don't want to protect our democratic society they want to tear it down. Many voters will not vote for them that may well have voted for them this cycle before the truth of their agenda was revealed. Democrats will win many races that were thought to be going for republicans and that is what I think will be.
