I am calling it, Menendez will lose.

We as a society already assume most of our public officials are corrupt and no one is shocked when it turns out to be true.

What is shocking is that when Obama's justice department looks at the evidence against one of his biggest allies in the senate and says "sorry Bob, even I can't protect you from all this" and slaps him with 22 charges of being a corrupt piece of poo poo (under the new corruption-friendly laws). And he wasn't acquitted or found not guilty or innocent...it was a mistrial.

The GOP will win a senate seat in New Jersey and I'll laugh for 6 years until the dems find someone worse to run against Hugin.

He's gonna win lol

Menendez, I mean. Everyone is corrupt and therefore no one is corrupt.

problem is that youth are such small number of voters to begin with chance are olds are increasing more than youth in absolute terms lol

Youth vote is so strongly left relative to the overall overall vote that you don't need huge numbers to move the needle. If the youth vote moves form an abysmal 5% to a seemingly weak 8% that's about two points of movement right there that probably aren't baked into the polls.

Rural polling in general is really tough because there's a lot more opportunity for a candidate good at "retail politics" to buck any kind of partisan lean an area may have and win by being a better candidate and out hustling the competition.

The upper Midwest also has a history of ticket splitting or outright preferring that opposing parties control the legislature and the executive at all levels that muddies the waters a lot.

Plus, how many pollsters are out there that actually understand and keep up with the North Dakota electorate? I can't speak for North Dakota, but in rural Minnesota, national media likes to lump anything outside the Twin Cities together but the electorate moves quite independently much of the time in various areas.

Minnesota is one of like 3 states where the rural countryside isn't blood red border-to-border, lol

it was a pretty good outcome, scott walker got hosed out of the governorship, dems took the house, and a bunch of succ dems lost their senate seats. now theyve just got to kick pelosi out of her chair before she dooms us all

i mean, relative to the baseline expectation of a deec wave election, it was bad

relative to eternal death & darkness, it was OK
