EXCERPT:
“Tafoya does extremely well with men and Flanagan is losing every age group other than the youngest of voters.”
The Minnesota Senate race between Republican Michele Tafoya and Democrat Peggy Flanagan remains a closely contested battle. Multiple consecutive polls have shown the candidates just points apart from each other, within the margin of error.
A recent InsiderAdvantage poll of 1,200 likely voters conducted September 28-29 found Flanagan leading Tafoya 46 percent to 45 percent, a one-point difference within the poll’s 2.95 percentage-point margin of error.
“This survey is unusual in that it goes against many of the trends we are seeing in other Senate contests. It appears that the decrease in popularity of Governor Tim Walz, combined with the growing evidence of fraud in the state are taking a toll on the DFL nominee,” InsiderAdvantage pollster Matt Towery said in a memo about the poll.
“Tafoya does extremely well with men and Flanagan is losing every age group other than the youngest of voters, who in the poll have a significant ‘enthusiasm about voting’ gap versus other age groups who are more enthusiastic,” Towery added.
GOP sees 5 once-competitive House races as ‘all but lost’– www.dailykos.com
News Source
EXCERPT:
With 34 days until the midterms, Republican strategists see at least five U.S. House seats are a lost cause for their party as President Donald Trump’s abysmal approval rating threatens to drag the GOP into the political abyss.
Punchbowl News reported that Republicans are broadly resigned to losses in California’s 48th District, Iowa’s 1st District, Nebraska’s 2nd District, New Jersey’s 7th District, and Pennsylvania’s 7th District—all GOP-held seats that in a neutral environment would be highly competitive.
“Nearly every senior Republican and Democrat involved in 2026 believes these five R seats are all but lost,” Punchbowl News co-founder Jake Sherman wrote in a post on X.
Three of those contests (CA-48, NE-02, and NJ-07) are currently rated as “Lean Democratic” races by the Cook Political Report, while Iowa’s 1st and Pennsylvania’s 7th are still in the “toss-up” category. Given that even Republicans say they are the underdogs in these seats, it suggests that the political handicapping organizations are slower to react to the electoral landscape and thus their current ratings may not reflect the true peril the GOP is in.
What’s more, Punchbowl reported that a handful of other districts are also close to being cooked. They include:
Punchbowl said these seats “are growing more difficult for Republicans but still within reach.” It’s why even the typically gun-shy race-rating groups have declared that it’s “almost impossible” for Republicans to keep control of the House.

Just ahead of the midterms, President Donald Trump’s approval rating hit an all-time low at just 32%. This is according to the latest Reuters/Ipsos Poll. Coming as they do just before the midterms, this does not bode well for the GOP ticket.
Poll: Trump’s Approval Rating Drops to New Low as Midterms Loom– www.breitbart.com
News Source
EXCERPT:
President Donald Trump’s approval rating has fallen to a new low in another poll as the midterms are just weeks away.
Surveying 1,277 likely voters with a margin of error of +/- 3 percentage points, the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll found that the president’s overall approval stands at 32 percent. Even among Republicans, the president’s approval saw a significant drop in the week from 82 percent to 73 percent — a drop from 86 percent in January of this year and 91 percent following the inauguration in January 2025.
The president’s approval among Republicans has been steadily declining since the Iran conflict began, with recent polling showing a drop among his base even on economic issues. Since January, Republican support for Trump’s handling of the economy has dropped to 56 percent while Republican support for his handling of the cost of living has dropped to 44 percent.
“For really his entire political career, the president has enjoyed very strong support among the Republican Party and among his base, and that’s still true today, but it’s a bit less true,” Alec Tyson, senior vice president and lead pollster at Ipsos Public Affairs, told the Hill.
“Those are striking numbers,” Tyson added, “Numbers that we hadn’t seen until recent weeks here in our Ipsos polling.”
Approval ratings for the president as the midterms loom have ranged from as high as 39 percent to as low as 29 percent. According to Fox News, Republican performance in the coming midterms will hinge on several factors, most specifically inflation and base enthusiasm:
Democrats last week heavily criticized Trump and Republicans after the president argued that fuel costs were “a very inexpensive price to pay for what we’ve done,” as he pointed to the attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Meanwhile, the latest Fox News poll indicated that by a wide margin, the Democrats are considered the party that would better handle inflation.
But when asked about the overall economy, recent national surveys from Reuters/Ipsos and NBC News had the GOP and Democrats all knotted up on which party would better handle the issue.
The Supreme Court of the United States shut down the 2025 map for the Missouri midterm election, reinstating the 2022 map that preserves the Democrat-favored U.S. House District.
The unsigned order simply declared “At this late date, ordering reversion to the 2025 map in the midst of an ongoing election would usher in electoral chaos.” It should be noted that the primaries were based on the 2025 election map, giving doubt to SCOTUS’ ‘chaos’ claim as the basis for their ruling.

Key Alaska Senate Race Comes Down to One Issue: Fish– www.westernjournal.com
News Source
EXCERPT:
Former Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola has made fishing the centerpiece of her campaign to unseat Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan in Alaska.
Peltola, who is Yup’ik and grew up fishing on the Kuskokwim River, has revived her longtime “Fish, Family, Freedom” slogan from her House campaigns and is calling for a ban on factory trawling.
“I’m the only candidate on this stage who’s an Alaskan fisherman. Fish is in my blood, earned over generations on the water,” Peltola said at a Sept. 12 fisheries debate hosted by the Kodiak Chamber of Commerce, the Alaska Beacon reported.
The Peltola and Sullivan campaigns and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s requests for comment.
The fight centers on bycatch — the salmon, halibut and crab swept up in the nets of large trawlers harvesting pollock and other groundfish in the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska — which many Alaskans blame, at least in part, for weak salmon runs and declining halibut and crab stocks, the outlet reported.
The race could help decide which party controls the Senate, Gunnar Knapp, a retired University of Alaska Anchorage economist, told the Beacon.
Brett Watson, an economist at the University of Alaska Anchorage, told the outlet he could not recall fishing issues playing “such a central role in a statewide or federal campaign.”
Talarico ‘Mentor’ Pastor: Capitalism in ‘Death Throes’ — Democratic Socialism Is ‘the Next Chapter’– townhall.com

EXCERPT:
Texas Democrat U.S. Senate nominee James Talarico has called St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Austin home since he was two years old. It has been led for 35 years by Rev. Jim Rigby, whom Talarico calls a “mentor,” according to The Christian Post.
Undercover video obtained exclusively by Townhall shows Rigby musing about his economic philosophy — a philosophy that has undoubtedly been impressed upon Talarico for virtually the candidate’s entire life.
“I think capitalism is in death throes,” Rigby says in the video. “You’re gonna have to throw everything overboard. It’s like, that’s the next chapter of human rights. It’s like, life, liberty, pursuit of happiness is not capitalism. That every person has a right to medicine, to a livable wage, stuff. That’s not radical.”
Rigby asserts the United States is the only developed nation “that doesn’t have that stuff. And they’re calling that communism.”
“So, to me, just stop looking at the label and what is it that you want?” he continues in the video.
“Gandhi and Martin Luther King were democratic socialists. That’s the next chapter, and it’s not this horrific thing. It’s like, that’s what the rest of the civilized world calls sanity.”

EXCERPT:
Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania said Saturday that it’s “entirely possible” his party could win control of the Senate in the midterm elections, but he also left the door open on his own political future.
“Let’s revisit after the midterm,” Fetterman told CBS News’ Major Garrett at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin.
Democrats faced an uphill battle heading into the midterm cycle as they sought control the upper chamber, with 53 Republicans currently in the Senate and a map that appeared more favorable to the GOP. But as affordability issues have persisted in the Trump administration and amid the unpopular war with Iran, the picture has appeared to improve for Democrats as they aim to secure a majority in the Senate.
Fetterman, who delivered Democrats a crucial victory in a closely watched race in 2022, has been under scrutiny in recent years for breaking with his party, spurring questions about his future. Asked whether he would leave the Democratic Party, Fetterman said Saturday that he doesn’t “have a reason to.” And he emphasized, “I am not a Republican.” But he cautioned that people should wait until the midterm elections to “see what I do.”
“Let’s see what happens if I happen to be 51 — I don’t know,” Fetterman said.

AOC Gets Brutal News As She Test-Runs Senate Bid: She Is ‘Rejected’ – RedState– redstate.com

EXCERPT:
AOC is getting major pushback from swing-state Democrats in the run-up to the 2026 midterm elections.
Their message? Please, just stay away.
Axios unleashed the nasty news and blasted it into the ether on Sunday night.
Democrats in some of this year’s most critical congressional battlegrounds are sending a clear message to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: We don’t want you to campaign for us.
Why it matters: If they continue, the snubs could hurt AOC’s standing as a potential contender in the 2028 Democratic presidential primary, when many voters will prioritize electability.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is currently testing the waters for a potential Senate bid, so this is not a great sign that she has enough mainstream appeal for the “big leagues.”
Axios reports that Democrats in some of the most important battleground races this fall are shunning Ocasio-Cortez, with party officials saying some candidates have explicitly asked her team to stay away. One senior Democrat strategist working in a key swing district was especially blunt.
“The polling is atrocious for her,” the strategist told Axios. “She’s a lightning rod.”
Here is the background Axios gave on the recent developments:
• Ocasio-Cortez and her allies argue that her unapologetic advocacy for big progressive policies like Medicare for All would make candidates like her more electable than moderate liberals, but many Democrats in tight races this fall have disagreed.
• She was welcomed by many Democrats in competitive primary races, but some of those candidates have distanced themselves as they’ve moved to the center to take on Republicans in the Nov. 3 election.

Democratic socialist versus MAGA Republican—it’s a war of two extremes equally likely to turn off voters, right?
Not remotely, the data suggests. And that may have big implications this year.
The latest YouGov/Economist poll ran an experiment that asked voters to pick between pairs of hypothetical candidates. When asked to choose between a “Democratic socialist who supports Medicare for All, ending military aid to Israel, and abolishing ICE” and a “MAGA Republican who supports mass deportations and always votes with Trump,” 51% of registered voters went for the socialist, while only 34% picked the MAGA Republican. The remaining 15% were unsure.
Notably, this figure did not change much when the hypothetical socialist candidate was swapped for a “Liberal Democrat who wants to protect Obamacare (ACA), increase support for child care and housing, and opposes tariffs.” Fifty-five percent backed the liberal Democrat, and an identical 34% supported the MAGA Republican.

DENVER — The office of Colorado’s attorney general is a perch 10 stories above downtown Denver. From his aerie, Phil Weiser has a sweeping view of the city skyline, the gold-domed Capitol and, occasionally, a red hawk on the wing.
But looking toward November, Weiser sees something darker.
Federal agents swarming polling places. Voters intimidated or blocked from casting their ballots. A tyrannical president using his powers, real and imagined, to undermine or try to overturn the Nov. 3 election.
“With this administration what we have seen is it’s important that we not limit our imagination to what … type of harm could happen,” Weiser said during a sunny noon hour in the Mile High City.
For that reason, Colorado’s attorney general and his Democratic peers around the country have spent more than a year strategizing — by phone, via Zoom, sometimes in person — on ways to Trump-proof the midterm election.
They’ve researched history and the law, war-gamed what-ifs, divvied up responsibilities and drafted emergency lawsuits and temporary restraining orders so they can be hurried into court at a moment’s notice.

Establishment Democrats are desperate to put a whole bunch of daylight between their party and Hasan Piker, the far-left Twitch streamer who has become a major headache with the midterms just weeks away.
“Let me just say that I think it’s absolutely disgusting and deplorable the things that Hasan Piker has said,” DNC Chairman Ken Martin said last week. “But he does not represent the Democratic Party, and he certainly doesn’t represent the viewpoints of almost every one of our candidates and our elected officials.”
That’s debatable. Still, it’s kind of funny that even while condemning Piker, Martin couldn’t bring himself to vouch for the whole party.
Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) ran out of patience even sooner. Back in August, she was furious when a reporter asked her about Piker yet again.
“I am done, so don’t any reporter ask me again about Hasan Piker,” Dingell said. “It’s not what November is about. Republicans are trying to make it. They’re trying to divide us, and we got to stop letting them try to divide us. I don’t agree with Hasan Piker on a lot of stuff, and I really don’t agree with him on some of the woman things he said. And I’m still trying to figure out, is it the reason he exercises and looks buff is why he has so many followers.”

Maine Democratic Senate candidate Troy Jackson was kicked out of his own Facebook group after being “patronizing” to supporters. Jackson is now no longer a member of the “Mainers for Troy Jackson” group.

SCOTUS Restores Program That Identifies Registered Noncitizens– thefederalist.com
News Source
EXCERPT:
The U.S. Supreme Court agreed on Friday to pause a lower court blockade on a Trump administration program that helps verify registered voters’ citizenship status. The vote was 6-3, with Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson in dissent.
In its per curiam opinion, the high court granted the government’s emergency application to temporarily stay a June ruling by D.C. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan, a Biden appointee. That decision blocked the use of a revised federal system to determine whether a registered voter is a U.S. citizen for election integrity purposes.
As described by SCOTUSblog, the modified program came about following a March executive order by President Trump that (“among other things”) instructed the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration to “create systems that would allow state and local governments to verify the citizenship and immigration status of voters.” Those departments subsequently “overhauled” DHS’s Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database system “to include the records of U.S.-born citizens, to give it access to Social Security numbers, and to allow bulk searches (rather than requiring users to inquire about one person at a time).”
The Trump administration’s initial request to pause Sooknanan’s decision was rejected by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals (2-1) on Sept. 4. The government then filed its application for relief with SCOTUS days later.

The Democrats’ Islamist communist candidate for Senate in swing state Michigan earlier this week snidely criticized President Donald Trump’s decision to take away White House passes from leftist propaganda outlets — MS Now, CNN, and Politico.
“May I just say, it’s nice to see MSNow and CNN covering the news,” Abdul El-Sayed, the Eddie Haskell of Muslim politicians, told reporters during a campaign stop with the Democratic Party’s failed replacement presidential candidate, Kamala Harris. “That’s what you do, it’s great.”
“You are welcome here anytime to cover news. I’m grateful that you do that. I mean, there are certain people who occupy certain offices that are too cowardly to take your questions,” the smarmy public health bureaucrat and failed former candidate for governor added in a not-so-subtle jab at the president.
He was more direct in another exchange with the media, asserting that “Trump hates the idea of democracy.”
“That’s why he denies elections and is interfering with the freedom of the press,” El-Sayed told Deadline Detroit.
That’s an interesting criticism from a guy who reportedly once urged the Muslim Brotherhood to “purge” news outlets and law enforcement in Egypt. The Trump administration has designated the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization.

Trump Admin Releases Plan To Protect 2026 Election Infrastructure– thefederalist.com
News Source
EXCERPT:
The Trump administration released a “comprehensive” plan on Thursday that U.S. election officials can use to safeguard the integrity of the voting process during the upcoming midterms, The Federalist has learned.
“Election security is national security,” Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin said in a statement. “This plan, which will be implemented in full, is crucial to the security, freeness, and fairness of choosing the leaders of our country. Making America safe again isn’t just done at the border, in our streets, and on the coast — it’s also done in protecting the integrity of American elections.”
Obtained by The Federalist, the 2026 Election Infrastructure Security Plan includes numerous tools and services that election officials can use to protect election infrastructure from physical and cyber threats in the midterms. The extensive report was produced by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), which falls under DHS.
The 13-page document begins by providing a comprehensive overview of existing election infrastructure (voting and processing facilities, voting hardware, etc.) and the core technological components (voter registration systems, tabulation systems, etc.) that define a typical election process. It also includes an analysis of potential cyber and physical threats to this infrastructure that officials may encounter during the 2026 contest, such as attempted cyber hacks of state voter registration databases and bomb threats directed at election offices.
The report provides guidance on how best to confront these prospective issues. For instance, to mitigate potential cyber vulnerabilities, the plan advises election officials to consider using paper ballots “that can be easily reviewed to ensure transparency, auditability, and resilience against software failures or manipulation,” and to “[c]onduct post-election manual audits of paper ballots to verify that voting systems function properly and to identify errors before certifying the final results.”

Kamala Harris: Removing Hundreds of Thousands of Non-Citizens from Voter Rolls Is ‘Cheating’– slaynews.com

EXCERPT:
Former Vice President Kamala Harris accused Republicans of “cheating” by removing non-citizens and other ineligible names from voter rolls.
The twice-failed Democrat presidential candidate made the claims as she continues a nationwide media blitz, fueling expectations of another campaign in 2028.
Harris was elevated to the top of the 2024 Democratic Party ticket without receiving a single presidential primary vote.
Harris was coronated after former President Joe Biden’s mental decline became impossible for party leaders to conceal.
Her campaign then burned through roughly $1 billion in a matter of weeks before losing the election to President Donald Trump.
Now, after a string of speeches, interviews, and public appearances, Harris appears to be laying the groundwork for another White House run.
This time, her agenda involves attacking Trump’s election integrity agenda.
