It’s game day. The 2026 midterms are here, and they will determine whether freedom survives or an era of Democrat-led political witch hunts could begin next year. The polls have been weird all cycle, some of which have straight-up been fake, part of a ‘social experiment,’ or so these busted firms have said. It’s not 2018. Democrats aren’t popular. Neither are Republicans, but they’re still viewed more favorably by an 8-to-10-point margin; that’s nothing in a cycle where a few House seats could determine who retains control.

A voter interviewed by the NYT says he would rather pay $10 a gallon for gasoline than vote for Democrats. He said: “Economics take awhile to catch up, we are still paying for Biden’s policies” https://t.co/WwAzqFBXfm

💥NEW: CNN's Dana Bash CASTS DOUBT on her *OWN* network's polling of Abdul El-Sayed-Mike Rogers race💥 "It is ENTIRELY POSSIBLE that the polling is NOT totally picking up what is *actually* happening.” Bash noted El-Sayed was projected to defeat Haley Stevens in a landslide during the Democrat primary — but barely beat her. She also highlighted how Jewish and black Michiganders are crucial Democrat voters who may not turn out for El-Sayed. CNN's Kate Bolduan acknowledged that Bash was “EXACTLY RIGHT.” Both CNN hosts seemed dejected by the realities of the situation. CNN's polling has Rogers trailing El-Sayed by 7 points. And El-Sayed is supposedly leading Mike Rogers by about 5 points in the RealClearPolling average. But Bash is correct that El-Sayed may be overestimated yet again. Stevens' endorsement of Rogers could help make the difference in a tight race on Tuesday.

Predictions are wild: Florida has a Democrat governor, and Democrats win 230-plus House seats. Wave elections are over. Voter enthusiasm is high among MAGA supporters. Late-night endorsements might put someone like Mike Rogers over the top in Michigan’s Senate race. If Rogers wins, the GOP is a lock to hold the Senate. Will fake Dan Sullivan, who fled his home, be a spoiler for Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan in Alaska?
ALASKA: While a lot of Peltola voters told us the “Decoy Dan” ballot scandal did not change their support, this Anchorage voter says it changed his mind. #Alaska #Midterms2026 #Elections2026 @NewsNation https://t.co/dL2KGfL1LE
