Virginia and New Jersey polls signal bad news for Republicans

Polls may not be the be all and end all but if Virginia and "Joisey" are "Hell Naw" over MAGA then, that's awesome.
That said, be careful with polls and know which polling organizations are saying what is what. Some polling organizations are better than others and one should use a combo of a few of the best ones together for a closer to accurate picture.

New Jerseyean here! I'm praying to the God that I don't believe in Jack loses. NJ becoming red will cause so much damage. Over my (and others) dead body.

There are lots of great ways to help the NJ dems win this November if you are interested. In the Passaic county area we are ramping up a lot of volunteering.

Im more interested in how NJ will be. The DOGE cuts uniquely hit VA hard. I feel like due to that VA Republicans already threw in the towel. NJ is the one where we see a better gauge of national impact. In particular the more suburban and Republican counties such as Monmouth and Ocean.

I love in Monmouth county, particularly Middletown. Believe it or not, there's more Democrats registered in Monmouth county than there are Republicans. If those Democrats actually show up to vote this election is what matters instead of sitting on their asses like they did in the most recent 2024 election.

Middletown will probably be more liberal but basically the closer you get to Ocean County the more conservative it gets. I would caution though that a chunk of the Dems in Monmouth County might be older folks who are registered Dem but are now kinda MAGA.

I think everyone recognizes Virginia as a foregone conclusion. Sears is the Mark Robinson of Virginia; she’s not going to get elected even without all the fuckery trumps been on. Whats more interesting is both who wins NJ, and how badly Sears loses in November

Yesterday I saw an "attack ad" Winsome Seares put out against Abigail Spanberger-- Winsome tweeted "She is for They/Them, not Us" and had a photo of Abigail with the quote "Our LGBTQ neighbors have the same legal rights as any other citizen" like that was some insane progressive take. The quote didn't even touch on the "pronoun issue". That's the best she's got?? I've got stronger critiques on Abigail Spanberger and I'm hype AF for her to win.

No solutions or ideas from them, just continually holding up pictures of some minority group "you don't want these people around do you?!"

Head over to Field Team 6 and help register new voters in Jersey! Or, head to Reclaim Our Vote and help GOTV for voters of color in Virginia!

Polls mean nothing. What matters is the election results

NJ Republicans had the chance to maybe go with a moderate-ish candidate with limited ties to Trump. Naturally, they just went with the Trumpy ghoul. An FAFO situation, for sure...
