Nate Silver Warns of Major Twist in the Midterm Polls #MidtermElections #NateSilver #Polling #Election2022 #Democrats

theguardian.comDiscontent with Trump buoys Democrats in Ohio: ‘People are disgusted by the corruption’In a reliably red state, candidates say dissatisfied voters tell them they’re planning to vote Democrat for the first time Democrat Kim McCarthy is canvassing in a middle-class Ohio neighborhood of four-bedroom, three-bathroom homes. There are $70,000 trucks in the driveways and robot lawnmowers at work. “This is a neighborhood of two incomes and young families; people working hard,” says McCarthy, who is running against a three-time Republican incumbent for a seat in Ohio’s house of representatives.
