Trump and the House Speaker Say the Polls Are Wrong: ‘I’m Telling You, These Polls Are Off. All of Them,’ the Speaker Says
- Speaker Mike Johnson appeared on The Ingraham Angle on Monday to dismiss recent polling data, insisting that surveys predicting Republican losses in next week's midterms are incorrect.
- A Reuters Ipsos poll released on Monday shows registered voters prefer Democrats to Republicans, 47% to 36%, on the generic congressional ballot.
- Johnson dismissed Wedgewood and SoCal Strategies as fraudulent, while claiming CNN reported that in 14 of the last 16 elections, traditional polling underestimated Republican support by an average of four points.
- Early voting numbers have already surpassed 2022 midterm turnout, serving as the primary metric to confirm or deny Johnson's assessment of the current political landscape.
- President Donald Trump and Republicans generally face broad unpopularity, with every notable poll showing the approval rating underwater as the election approaches.
