🚨 BOOM! 🚨 THIS WEEK’S ECONOMIST/YOUGOV NATIONAL SURVey shows a noticeable shift in the preference of independent voters – that exists in a liminal space where the readers who mock the generic ballot findings need to be acknowledged before any such coverage can be justified.
Ready? In October the pollsters found 46 percent of indies saying “I would not vote,” when asked “If the elections for US Congress were being held today, who would you vote for in the district where you live?” a stat seen by this site as a possible leading indicator of broad turnout collapse – which probably wouldn’t be a bad thing when Dems have the corner on propensity. Not voting led “Not Sure” at 28 percent, followed by Ds in third at 15 percent, and then the GOP dead last at 8 percent.
That’s changed. “I would not vote” still leads at 33 percent, but this week Dems are in second at 27 percent, then the Not Sures at 25, and Republicans last again at 12 percent. Now circumspection in everything, doubly so in American election polling, triply so on the fucking generic ballot that many dismiss. Yet that kind of movement if not the numbers themselves still merits attention as it speaks to the end of what seemed to be a mass checking-out on the part of the irritable middle, their hazy twilight roused not by “Trantifa” rogues burning Portland to the ground for real this time or some other MAGA daydream spank material. It would seem that it was moments like their fellow citizens getting shot dead in the street like dogs, children being held hostage by masked man-boys, kind souls bound to undocumented coils caged and concentrated in camps, and far too many other atrocities big and small, all wrought simply because Stephen Miller was a virgin until he was 23.
Roused they seem, if judging solely by the disproportionate assortation of stated intent. 🚨 WOW 🚨
