Or... Trump is unpopular in this heavy-R district but it's going to be a close race at best for the Dems... which it is.

mcmagic wants to make the claim that the Democrats should be winning these districts easily but his logic is absurd on its face.

I want to make the point that we aren't seeing huge spikes in democratic voters turning out because of how offensive Trump is.

Do you have Trump's approval in GA6?

I'm trying to find it but I can't, but that doesn't mean I'm going to start pretending his national numbers mean much here. Or even necessarily state numbers, although I wish I could at least find that as it would be a bit closer.

You're not making a good argument for doing so then, because a narrow defeat would indicate a strong over performance for Dems based on history and current national polling.

If Dems could just get 40% turnout in a midterm election they'd sweep the House.

Think of how unlikely that is and how low that bar is.

That is American Politics, friend.

We did get pretty high turnout against trump, but in areas that were already solidly blue.

I don't think so, there's a bit of empty space between the two that would make piping challenging.

Also I would assume that the fish water would be used for coca cola production.

Correct, This is what is depressing me. I thought that how horrible this Regime is would get people who don't normally vote out to vote. That doesn't seem to be happening.

I'm guessing exit polling would be worthless with early voting being considered, but I'm surprised we don't have some exit polls pushing the horse race narrative.

There's been a mass shooting at Ava's near Market Street in Charleston. The place with the best biscuits in town.

I know a lot of people will say that the best biscuits are actually at The Taphouse, but they are wrong.

Ava's Buttered up biscuits are coated with your choice of cheddar, hot chocolate, maple bacon, cinnamon, sour cream and chives and you name it!

Might I add, they also have the classic biscuit too!

It's basically flavored biscuits and a great bakery good to munch on!

Here's basically the most recent polling for GA-06 I can find. It puts Trump at 51% Approve/41% Disapprove, but it's from back in March. On top of that the pollster, Trafalgar Group, isn't particularly well rated by 538. They have been using them in their GA-06 Ossoff/Handel polling, but give the group a C rating so eh?

Probably too far back to really draw much in the way of conclusions ultimately. Anyways, the point is just because people from Country/Population A are predominantly one thing, doesn't mean people from District/Subpopulation B are the same. Scandinavians are generally tall as gently caress, but I wouldn't expect that out of a remote Norwegian village where everyone suffers from malnutrition.
