Two new Atlas Intel polls out today - one great, one meh [View all]

Hard to see how they both can be correct, but if they are, I'm fine with it. If we are that far ahead in the Congressional vote, we can pickup 40 seats. Trump's approval is irrelevant, he can't run again.

2026 Generic Congressional Vote: Democrats 51, Republicans 42
President Trump Job Approval: Approve 45, Disapprove 54

We had the right message, but they won't vote for a black woman. Meadowoak Jun 2025 #24

I think any message that can lose to a fascist is the wrong message. SSJVegeta Jun 2025 #25

We would have if Harris wouldn't have been a black woman. Meadowoak Jun 2025 #17

Is it her being a black woman that kept the millions of black, hispanic and Arab people from voting for her? SSJVegeta Jun 2025 #28

Those messages don't work... WarGamer Jun 2025 #19

👉🏿👉🏿👉🏿 "because people were pissed off about the cost of living" !!!! uponit7771 Jun 2025 #21
