There's plenty in the link, unless you're afraid to look.

I checked, I didn't see a link in the story to all the data for polling, so I couldn't check its validity.

But hey, have it your way, you guys have the Republicans right were you want them...

You can all stay home on election day then.

I think the Senate will stay red but the house will go blue.

That would be a Democrat nightmare. Trump could act much more aggressively in the next 2 years. The first year was slowed while learning the job and obstruction by activist judges. With a stronger Senate his next SCOTUS pick will be a slam dunk. And with a more conservative SCOTUS he can fast-track these cases with the activist judges. DACA will be gone for good. He can go after sanctuary cities hard.

"You conveniently ignored the OP's data."

"They were especially energized by tRump nominating an accused sexual molester to the SC,"

Kav was nominated BEFORE the sex accusations were made.

And YOU are ignoring that "accused" does NOT mean GUILTY!

NOTHING came out to PROVE his GUILT.

EVERY witness DENIED the allegations against him.

But being the lefty you are, you apply GUILT just by being accused, unless it is against a dem then even when proven guilty, you STILL support them.

A little less drama, please.

Kavanaugh wasn't facing any judgement on guilt, just his suitability to serve on the nations' highest court. There was plenty of skepticism about that, supported by sworn testimony ignored by Pubs representing 44% of America who shoved him through despite that.

You, tRump and his GOP bootlickers all heralded it as a great victory.

Millions upon millions of women across the country have been mobilized by that anti-democratic action.

Maybe next week that seething anger will bear fruit.

The fact that GOP senators representing a minority of the USA (about 44%) crammed Kavanaugh through despite the very active and vocal objection of women who made their views clearly known isn't going to gain the GOP a whole lot of support, boys.

"In yesterday’s vote to confirm Justice Kavanaugh, the 50 senators voting yes represent states covering just 44% of the U.S. population or 143 million Americans. That’s less than a majority, less than the 181 million Americans represented by the senators voting no (you might say the “Senate popular vote”). Yet the nomination was confirmed."

https://govtrackinsider.com/with-kav...ic-dfb0f5fa7fa

Let's don't even get into the GOP judiciary committee hiding 100,000 pages of documents from Kavanaugh's work in the George W Bush admin. But it's kinda interesting that they were SO afraid of whatever that info was in there.

Nov 6 could be interesting.

Stay tuned.

Also, all across America, women have vocally been expressing their support for the tRump agenda for the last 2 years.

I expect the polls for the upcoming election to be just as accurate as the Nov 16 polls....stay tuned.

One of us thinks women are big tRump fans.

The other thinks women have noticed his misogyny.

8 days 'til the reckoning.

There are already polls, women favor the democrats over republicans by double digits with college educated women its even a greater divide. So while you may have some anecdotes the polls don't back your opinion.
