Yes, I know. ‘We don’t need no stinking poll.’ But let’s savor a bit of good news with all the bad. Even if the news is ‘just a bit good.’
Democrat Communist/Globalist Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia is in trouble in his latest re-election bid, according to a new poll that shows the state’s Republican Governor Jim Justice with a huge lead.
This from ijr.com.
As a member of the Left, Manchin has tried to straddle a fine line between left and right representing one of the reddest states in the union.
The 75-year-old has often opposed the Obiden Regime, but at the end of every day he’s still a Leftist representing a state that overwhelmingly supported President Trump in both 2016 and in 2020.
NOTE: In 2020, Trump won every county in the state of West Virginia.
And since then, a lot has changed for the worse, particularly when it comes to re-electing a Leftist politician and in a red state no less.
[Communists/Globalists] in Washington have stopped pretending to care about everyday people—especially the kind of blue-collar Americans who live in the Mountain State.
Therein lies the problem for a double-talking senator who wants to have it both ways. Remember, Manchin did vote for than mess that gave us the 87k IRS goons.
Manchin represents people who mostly have nothing in common with his party or its radical agenda. He wants to continue being their voice in the Senate as a communist/globalist, having ruled out switching parties, but—stolen election aside—the choice is not his to make.
Some could argue Manchin is a victim of a changing electorate—one in which the Left find their party’s moderates less than palatable. And when a constituency elects a politician from the party of the Left—even a moderate—they’re stuck with all the bad that accompanies the miniscule good.
Manchin’s party’s lurch to the left has put the senator in the crosshairs of his state’s Republican voters, who might like Manchin personally but not enough to allow him to assist senate communists/globalists in advancing ideas that are fundamentally bad for America.
The man is simply not as popular as he used to be with many, many voters, which has now shown up in polling of next year’s Senate race.
A survey that was just released by East Carolina University’s Center for Survey Research showed Manchin trailing Justice by 22 points.
The poll reported:
In a hypothetical 2024 U.S. Senate matchup in West Virginia, the latest ECU Poll shows Governor Jim Justice with a significant 22-point lead over incumbent Senator Joe Manchin, 54 percent to 32 percent, among registered voters in the state …
Being that Manchin is a Leftist—despite claiming to be a moderate—he is guilty of his association with The Obiden Regime of destruction of whom only 26 percent of West Virginians approve.
Republicans are ready to move on from Manchin and only 51 percent of state democrat communist/globalist voters now support him—this is not a recipe for success.
Needless to say, a defeat of Manchin would be good not only for West Virginia but for the entire country.
(ECU’s Center for Survey Research polled 957 registered voters in West Virginia from May 22 to May 23. The poll reported a credibility interval of +/- 3.7 points.)
