Even WaPo forced to admit there's a BIG problem with election polling

1 week 3 days ago


The Washington Post has admitted that polling for the midterm elections may suffer from the same inaccuracy issues that plagued that of previous elections.

The outlet said in an article Friday that pollsters made more than 85,000 phone calls for their survey and sent out nearly 50,000 text messages to try to determine the state of the U.S. Senate contest in Kansas.

'Are Republican voters this late in the election cycle feeling so down about their party’s chances that they just don’t want to talk about it?'

Although the Post released the results, WaPo polling director Scott Clement admitted there was evidence once again that Republicans were being undercounted.

"Democrats were far more enthusiastic about taking the poll than Republicans were," he reported. "Registered Democrats were more than twice as likely as registered Republicans to complete the survey after answering an interviewer’s call — 32 percent versus 12 percent — with a similar partisan gap when texting voters to complete the survey online."

He called it a "supersize version" of a concern that has been "vexing" pollsters for a decade.

That same concern was voiced by polling expert and political strategist Frank Luntz in a recent segment with CNN.

"We know that they don't respond to phone calls. We know that in the exit polling back in 2016, and I say this publicly because I want people to hear this," Luntz said about supporters of President Donald Trump.

"I got 2016 wrong. I believed in the exit polls. Trump voters walked away, refused to participate, because they thought that it was against them," he explained.

"They thought that the polls were all biased," Luntz added. "And that's what Republicans are being told right now: 'Don't believe the polls. They're not accurate.' Well, they may be; we're about to find out."

A pollster trying to gauge a state Senate district in Iowa expressed similar problems.

Clement said pollsters took steps in the WaPo/George Mason University poll in Kansas to try to overcome the natural bias against polling among Republican voters.

"But it’s possible those efforts fell short," he added.

The WaPo article noted that historically polling underestimated support for the president in the presidential elections of 2016, 2020, and 2024, by three to five percentage points.

However, polling did not "consistently overestimate" support for Republicans in the 2018 and 2022 midterm elections.

"The partisan enthusiasm gap likely explains the disconnect between Democratic and Republican willingness to respond,” said Mark Rozell, dean of the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University, a poll co-sponsor.

"With an unpopular president, inflation, a war that Trump voters never asked for, the lack of GOP enthusiasm is not surprising," he added. "Are Republican voters this late in the election cycle feeling so down about their party’s chances that they just don’t want to talk about it?"

1 week 3 days ago


With control of Congress at stake, Americans will head to the polls Tuesday, November 3, for the 2026 midterm elections, setting the stage for a consequential night in American politics.

The broadcast will feature live election results, political analysis, and real-time reactions as Republicans and Democrats compete for control of the House and Senate.

A consequential election for both parties

The 2026 midterms arrive at a pivotal point in President Donald Trump's second term, with Republicans and Democrats competing for control of Congress.

The results will help determine the political landscape for the remainder of Trump's presidency, with implications for congressional priorities, federal spending, immigration policy, and the direction of both major parties heading into the 2028 presidential election.

From competitive Senate races to closely watched House contests, election night will provide an early picture of how voters are responding to the first two years of Trump's return to the White House.

BlazeTV's coverage will follow the biggest developments as they happen, with commentary from hosts offering their perspectives on the results and their implications.

The evening begins at 7 p.m. ET with John Doyle leading the opening coverage before Steve Deace takes over the main election-night broadcast at 9 p.m. ET.

Throughout the night, viewers can expect updates on key races, conversations about the changing political landscape, and reactions from familiar BlazeTV voices as states report their results.

The broadcast is designed to give audiences more than election returns, offering a broader conversation about what those results could mean for the country.

Viewers will have a chance to join the conversation

BlazeTV subscribers will also have an opportunity to participate directly in the election-night coverage.

Throughout the broadcast, hosts will take questions submitted exclusively through the BlazeTV live chat, allowing viewers to raise issues, ask about election developments, and potentially have their questions answered on the air.

The interactive element gives subscribers a way to engage with the discussion as the night unfolds.

Trump SHUTS DOWN visa program abused for birth tourism — and spying

1 week 3 days ago


The Trump administration has suspended what it says was a loophole used by Chinese citizens for birth tourism and possibly even espionage in the Northern Mariana Islands.

The Economic Vitality and Security Travel Authorization Program was created under the Biden administration by a Department of Homeland Security rule published in January 2024, easing visa restrictions for Chinese people in order to encourage tourism to the U.S. territory.

'We are ready to work with our federal partners on solutions that protect both our national security and the economic future of the people of the Marianas.'

Under the new rule implemented in Feb. 2025, prescreened Chinese nationals could visit the islands for up to two weeks without having to obtain a U.S. consular visa.

The Department of Homeland Security indicated in a press release Thursday that the program could be abused by pregnant foreigners to obtain U.S. citizenship for their children. Other concerns involved human trafficking and espionage near military facilities.

The suspension of the program went into effect on Friday.

The congressional delegate for the islands expressed disappointment with the decision.

"Our tourism industry is already facing tremendous challenges, and a prolonged disruption would have serious consequences for our businesses, workers, and families," said Northern Mariana Islands congressional Delegate Kimberlyn King-Hinds, a Republican.

King-Hinds added that she will talk to DHS Sec. Markwayne Mullin and President Donald Trump in an effort to restore the policy.

Others warned that the reduction in travelers could lead to flights being canceled to the islands as well. No flights have been affected yet.

The Marianas Visitors Authority called on the government to find other solutions to the problems they identified.

"Tourism is the primary economic driver of our economy," the agency said in a press release.

"We are not asking the federal government to ignore legitimate concerns," the agency added. "We are ready to work with our federal partners on solutions that protect both our national security and the economic future of the people of the Marianas."

The islands are also still reeling from the effects of Super Typhoon Sinlaku, which hit them earlier in 2026. The Marianas economy depends solely on tourism since it has few natural resources.

The DHS said more than 3,000 Chinese nationals used the program to visit the Mariana Islands in the 2025 fiscal year.
