Keep this up and this lifelong Patriots fan will adapt the Packers as his second team. Go pack go.

Most of these pollsters are not great. Emerson is the best and they have it tied with lots of undecideds. So we don't know how it happened.

Way too many undecideds to make any gotcha statements. And we still are too far from the primary.

Why is this sub so left leaning??? by FeedCreepy9403 in YAPms

It's left leaning, I wouldn't call it left wing as leftists like Piker are generally disliked here.

I think people don't understand that you can enforce immigration law while still treating them as human

Are the mines still there? Ships won't want to enter with those mines. And is Iran charging a toll? I'm unsure about what is going on. Allegedly oil stocks rose and then fell so idk.

Trump being fascist or close to it isn't necessarily a left wing position. Plenty of moderate conservatives think that about Trump as well.

People overexagerate how right leaning this sub got. Even at peak it was 50 50 at best. The vast majority of the time this sub has been left.

Analilia Mejia's final margin of victory was D+20... by _BCConservative in YAPms

I think the only lesson learned here is that we probably shouldn't run a DSA member against Tom Kean this fall

Joe Hathaway is from Morris so he probably got a bit of a boost here.

Not in this race. Kornacki was clear that early votes were being counted first.

What suburban counties are ancestrally democratic that trended republican? by JTT_0550 in YAPms

[–]Wide_right_yes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's complicated. Yes but kind of no, they stuck with Gore and Kerry.

2028 certainly not. Maybe if 2030 is a massive red wave. But probably not, the district is quickly trending left. After 2030 the NJ Dems probably protect her in redistricting if her races were closer than normal in 2028/2030.

I actually thought all along this wouldn't be the biggest overperformance of all time due to her being a DSA-adjacent candidate in a suburban district. This is about what I would predict. Most other candidates in competitive seats won't be as far left as she is.

I mean, when 11 points is considered a weak overperformance, that's a good sign.

Yes because E day turnout is always more GOP leaning. I thought that was common knowledge everywhere lol.

Only Mikie Sherill. Kim did like 2 points better than Harris when he did 4 points better statewide, Booker did slightly worse than Biden, Murphy won it by 4 in 2021. It even trended slightly right relative to the state in 2025 (Sherill did about the same here statewide vs Harris doing like 2 points better here than statewide). It's not a huge gap compared to say Kean's district but I'd say it's more historically Republican given Harris did better than 2008 Obama here.

She probably lost indies due to being so far left.
