80% of Republicans approve of Trump, and energizing that base is the key to GOP performance. Late spending, and energizing the base are basic politics to win close elections.

The Republican convention solidified that a vote for their candidates is a vote for Trump and his machinations. People are pissed at him.
Did you recite your Trump oath today:
Please raise your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States. That loves us so much he can't even breathe. That I will go out with my family, my friends, I'll do it any way I don't care if I'm registered or not, I'm going to try to cheat like hell like they do. There's never been bigger cheaters. They don't care. I am going to go out and I'm going to get my friends, my family. And we are going to vote on Nov. 3, or we are going to vote before that.

The fact that Roy Cooper is saying that this race will come down to between 1 and 3 percent means Democrats including their own candidate don’t even believe the polls and think they do not currently have this race locked up and may lose it. https://t.co/FuZ4mB9VQv

According to the recent poll you cited, as well as others like Reuters,
40% of Rs "strongly approve" of Trump.
40% of Rs "somewhat approve" of Trump.
That isn't great. Trump has the worst approval rating of any POTUS in the history of this poll question.
In uber deep-red states like Arkansas, Wyoming, Oklahoma etc where 70%-80% of the electorate are Rs or lean R, the approval math means the Rs will mostly retain their seats.
In the rest of the states, Trump loyalists and GOP strategists have been publicly admitting the hundreds of millions or billions of dollars being spent on their propaganda media blitz for the next 50 days is their best hope of getting some narrow wins.
Like a note in the poll that their male sample is garbage is fine I guess as long as it’s front and center but don’t claim it’s ok is all

You have a poll in Iowa with Hinson down 5 and another in Texas with Paxton down 5. Both have completely incoherent cross tabs

Neither one will happen. It’s boring
Yup. Exactly as we all told them would happen. Surprise surprise, Republicans and Moderates alike are supporting the Republican Party because Democrats have gone full marxist socialist now.

Meh...
She's about as hardcore a Republican as you could get up in Maine. Take the 80+% vote she provides...the alternative is a 0% vote.

New - Better party on inflation
— Political Polls (@PpollingNumbers) September 16, 2026
🔵 Democrats 36%
đź”´ Republicans 25%
Marquette - A - 9/9
Quote:
The latest poll from Reuters/Ipsos showed that 36 percent of respondents preferred the Democratic way, while 28 percent said they would prefer the GOP's approach. The remainder said they were unsure or did not support either plan.
The statistic marks the largest advantage Democrats have had since the pollster started asking respondents the question last October steadily growing close to one year later and amid rising costs as a result of inflation and the Iran war's impact on energy prices.
Most American adults in the survey also disapproved of President Trump's approach to the cost of living, with 70 percent saying as much. Roughly 21 percent said the opposite, the survey found.
The overwhelming majority of Democrats in the poll disapproved of Trump's approach, at 93 percent, while only 3 percent said they supported it. Independents follow with about 75 percent disapproving his handling of the issue compared with only 12 percent who favored it.
Quote:
Americans are especially negative on Trump's handling of inflation and the cost of living, with just 19% approving. A substantial 64% say his policies are increasing inflation, while only 18% think they are decreasing it. An additional 18% think Trump's policies are not affecting inflation. This represents a sharp downturn in public opinion from the beginning of the second term, when twice as many, 36%, thought his policies would lower inflation, though 49% said he would increase inflation, as shown in Table 18.
There has been an especially striking change over the second term among Republicans in their belief whether Trump's policies will decrease inflation. In December 2024, shortly after his reelection and before taking office, 76% of Republicans thought Trump's policies would lower inflation. That percentage has fallen by more than half, to just 37% of Republicans who now think the president's policies are reducing inflation. Among independents, only 28% thought Trump would lower inflation just after his election, but that, too, has fallen to 9% as of September. Democrats scarcely expected Trump to decrease inflation, declining from 8% to 3% now.

Typical, short-term memory LIVs.
While Trump is doing himself no favors on this front, these idiots think the Democrats are better at managing inflation?
All have already forgotten the massive spending the Democrats did under Biden that caused much of our inflation we are still dealing with. I guess that inflation was good inflation though?
Yup. Surprise surprise. And this is with Survey USA. Not co/efficient or Rasmussen but their sweet sweet precious Survey USA (which surprisingly does very little surveying of the entire U.S. of A. but loves to poll San Diego).

You've heard of Trvth Nvkes. Now it's time for Revelatory Supernovas in the Sky. It's never been more over for the doomercons and the deceptocrats alike.
All has now been revealed.
Democrat in Minnesota: 42 share. Why aren't Democrats auto-voting for Democrats anymore? What is up with that.
And tied on margin.
And down by 4 on share.
And yet you think Joe Ossoff is just going to Walz into reelection with Kesha Bottoms as an anchor?
We really tried to warn them not to overlook Michigan, New Hampshire, and Minnesota. We pleaded with them not to trust the media and college polls. We lightly suggested they might consider history and reason when believing Democrats would have a new permanent majority after falling for it so many times before.
And you know what happened. They just double-downed. Well who is downing the doubles now. Not you.

Exactly. Despite Cooper being a relatively decent candidate (good liar) in NC, he knows it's going to be a close one.
