Pollster That Put Francesca Hong, Karen Bass In Lead Admits It’s A Fake Firm
Francesca Hong, the failed communist candidate in the Wyoming gubernatorial primary race, was supposed to shellac David Crowley. After all, she had a 23-point lead over her opponent, according to data from Median Strategies. But it turns out Median Strategies was a fake polling company that just wanted to run a “social experiment” and observe […]Princeton Study Shows How Bad Actors Can Exploit Georgia Elections To Expose How You Voted

Republicans are worried that the election for one of Texas' seats in the U.S. Senate is slipping away after astounding results from the most recent polls.
Three of the polls show Democrat candidate James Talarico beating Republican state Attorney General Ken Paxton, and a fourth shows a tie. Another three show Paxton beating the Democrat.
An average of the poll had Talarico above Paxton by 0.7%.
Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah called on conservatives to back Paxton in light of Talarico's extremist opinions and policies.
"Now is the time for every Republican to support @KenPaxtonTX. No exceptions. We can’t have a senator from Texas who thinks 'God is nonbinary,'" wrote Lee with a link to the polling. Paxton defeated one of Lee's colleagues, incumbent Sen. John Cornyn, in the Republican primary runoff after receiving Trump's endorsement.
Two of the polls showing the Democrat winning were Fox News and New York Times/Siena polls, while the ones showing Paxton winning included Quantus and YouGov.
An average of the poll had Talarico above Paxton by 0.7%.
The Decision Desk election analysis group noted that Talarico was faring far better against Paxton in polling on the road to the election than Beto O'Rourke did when he tried to unseat Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas in 2018. O'Rourke lost that contest.
Paxton most recently went on the attack after a report documented evidence that Talarico might have violated the residency rules when he ran for state representative in 2022.
"James Talarico has proven he has zero regard for Texans and the rule of law. He's been lying to voters and shamelessly committing election fraud to hold onto power," he wrote on Tuesday.

The Talarico campaign claimed that the discrepancy came from processing delays and denied the allegations.
Democrats have a slim chance of winning the U.S. Senate in the midterms, but a victory in Texas would go a long way to help their cause.

Trump approval rating SOARS in new poll
A recent national poll from RMS Research has some very good news for supporters of President Donald Trump.
In a poll conducted between July 13 and Tuesday, the president's net approval rating increased to the highest level he's had since spring despite the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran and some inflation woes.
That lead might not be enough for Democrats to win control of both houses of Congress given the structural advantage Republicans have.
Trump hit 46% approval with only 52% of respondents saying they disapprove of the president's job, for a net rating of -6.
RMS Research data reveals this rating is the highest for Trump since late April and early May, when his net rating sunk to -17.
The results mirrored those reported by a Morning Consult poll released July 6, which also concluded his net approval rating had climbed to its highest since April. Improvements among Republicans and independents led to the increase.
Republicans in general also "gained trust across the board," Morning Consult said, while Democrats' "issue edge narrowed on everything."
However, despite the increase, Republicans continue to lag behind Democrats on the generic ballot. Democrats have 45% support in the generic ballot while Republicans have only 42%, per Morning Consult.
That lead might not be enough for Democrats to win control of both houses of Congress given the structural advantage Republicans have through redistricting in several states, according to recent analysis from CNN political analyst Harry Enten.

Republicans made gains on many issues that the poll asked voters to consider. Democrats stalled, despite having a lead.
The generic ballot is seen as a bellwether for the midterm elections.
