A new poll reveals the 2026 Senate race in Michigan will likely be a fiercely contested battle, with Republican Mike Rogers holding narrow leads in hypothetical matchups against Democrat candidates.

The poll, “conducted Jan. 2-6 for The Detroit News and WDIV-TV,” matches up Republican former U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers against three leading Democrat candidates in a bid for the seat of Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich, who is not seeking another term.

The Rogers campaign declared the poll a win, as spokeswoman Alyssa Brouillet wrote in a statement, “poll after poll continues to show that working families are rallying behind Mike Rogers.”

House Republicans’ largest outside spending groups are leading their Democratic counterparts in fundraising ahead of November’s midterm elections.

The House GOP leadership aligned-Congressional Leadership Fund (CLF) and its associated nonprofit, the American Action Network (AAN), reported a $136 million fundraising haul in 2025. Meanwhile, House Democratic groups — House Majority PAC and its sister organization House Majority Forward — raised just $121 million combined in the same time span.

The GOP lead is relatively small, but the Republican groups are touting the fundraising edge, first reported by Punchbowl News, as proof they have the resources to defend the fragile House GOP majority.

“This record-breaking haul of $136 million is a testament to the sustained commitment of our donors and their trust in Speaker Mike Johnson, this Republican leadership team, and our mission,” CLF President Chris Winkelman said in a statement. “Building this historic war chest early means we have a financial head start heading into the midterms. We will defend our majority-making incumbents and push further into Democrat territory.”

Heading into the midterm election season, the economy is still the No. 1 issue for voters, including among President Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again coalition, a new poll shows.

The poll from NBC News Decision Desk showed that Republicans and MAGA Republicans are slightly shifting their outlook on the economy, becoming more likely to say their personal financial situation is worse off today than it was one year ago. The poll found that 64% of people think the economy is on the “wrong track,” compared to 60% at the beginning of the year.

Out of nine given categories, 27% of the 20,252 people polled between Nov. 20 and Dec. 8 listed the economy as the No. 1 issue that matters most to them, with 44% of survey respondents listing “inflation and the rising cost of living” as the most important economic matter to their family.

Key Governor’s Race Suddenly Tightens In New Poll– trendingpoliticsnews.com

A new Emerson College Polling survey has Ohio Democrats riding unexpected momentum heading into the 2026 elections, tightening two major statewide races and signaling trouble for Republicans who once dominated the state.

The poll, released Thursday, shows both the governor’s race and U.S. Senate contest narrowing sharply since August, a shift that lines up with some surveys showing a decline in approval of the GOP among Ohio voters.

Emerson surveyed 850 voters between Dec. 6 and 8, using cellphone voter lists and an online panel. The poll carries a margin of error of 3.3%.

The biggest shake-up comes in the governor’s race. Democrat Amy Acton has surged seven points and now leads Republican Vivek Ramaswamy 46% to 45%. In August, Ramaswamy held a commanding 49% to 39% advantage. That lead has effectively evaporated.

The master messenger is at it again, this time handing the GOP the 2026 midterm talking points directly. During a rally Tuesday evening in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, President Trump reminded both Republicans and Democrats of just how savvy a messenger he can be when energizing his base. He crushed former President Joe Biden and his administration for overseeing the runaway inflation we are still battling today. He discussed his efforts to bring higher wage jobs to American workers, not illegal aliens. He dismantled Obamacare, highlighting high costs and the trillions in taxpayer dollars given to insurance companies instead of the American people. President Trump went full MAGA.

Utah Governor Spencer Cox, a Republican, has stunned conservatives after he appeared to endorse the presidential prospects of Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro,  a rising Democrat star widely expected to run for president in 2028.

Cox joined Shapiro for a joint CNN interview that aired while President Donald Trump was holding an economic rally in Pennsylvania.

Shapiro, who enjoys strong poll numbers in his battleground state, has long been viewed as a likely Democrat contender and was reportedly a finalist to become former Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate before she ultimately chose Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

During the interview, CNN host Dana Bash directly asked Cox whether Shapiro would make a good president.

“Yeah, I do,” Cox replied immediately.

One of the biggest whoppers Democrats told during the Schumer Shutdown was that they were not fighting for taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegals as part of the demands they wanted to be met to end the shutdown.

“Federal law prohibits the use of Medicare, Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, and the Affordable Care Act to provide health insurance in any way, shape, or form to undocumented immigrants—period, full stop. Democrats aren’t trying to change that,” Democrat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08) proclaimed at the time.

Though that is exactly what Jeffries and his fellow Democrats were trying to do, it was clear that the subject of taxpayer funding of illegal immigrant healthcare was a sore spot and for good reason, considering the likelihood that Jeffries knew the longer the shutdown dragged out, the more frustrated the American people would get with Democrats holding up funding for the military and SNAP recipients just to get some assurances on healthcare for illegals.

The RCP average is now flashing “red”, with President Trump at 42.3% approval, versus 54.7% disapproval.  Trump has been at the dangerous 43% approval number since November 3 (which is unfortunate, since that is also my birthday ☹).  This is Bush territory, and as such, it could lead to a “blue wave” if it is left unchecked.

As Townhall reported last week, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are using New York’s likely next mayor, Zohran Mamdani (and his campaign), as a blueprint for other races across the nation.

They’re doing the same thing in Minneapolis with mayoral candidate Omar Fateh.

It’s alarmingly clear these radical socialists understand that all politics is local, and they’re pushing for more Mamdani-like candidates in places like Gulfport, Mississippi, Florida, and Texas.

The Dead Still Live On Michigan’s Dirty Voter Rolls– thefederalist.com

pgnewser October 9, 2025 0

Blurb:

An elections integrity watchdog is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to weigh in on leftist-led Michigan’s dirty voter rolls, apparently filled with tens of thousands of dead registrants.

The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) has filed a petition seeking review of the landmark Public Interest Legal Foundation v. Jocelyn Benson, which challenges the Wolverine State’s refusal to clean up its voter rolls — a requirement under the National Voter Registration Act.

PILF argues that the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals erred in its ruling last year affirming a lower court opinion that found the Secretary of State’s office has made “reasonable efforts” to properly remove the names of deceased individuals from Michigan’s voter rolls. The case aims to clarify what a “reasonable effort” in the face of evidence that Michigan’s limited list-maintenance program’s design “virtually guarantees that thousands of deceased voters remain on the rolls.”

“Michigan’s refusal to act on overwhelming evidence of deceased registrants violates federal law,” said Kaylan Phillips, PILF’s legal counsel for the case. “The NVRA requires states to make efforts that keep the rolls accurate.”

PILF’s analysis of Michigan’s voter list identified more than 27,000 likely deceased individuals registered to vote. Some of those former citizens of the living have been dead for decades, according to the complaint. Of the suspect registrants, nearly 4,000 have been dead for at least 20 years, PILF found. Throughout the legal challenges, the foundation sent Michigan’s far-left secretary of state, Jocelyn Benson, obituaries and gravestones of many of the deceased registrants.

One individual registered to vote was apparently born in 1823 — some 14 years before Michigan became a state. The person was registered to vote in 2008. It’s either an invalid registration or state elections officials have some trouble entering basic data, the foundation’s investigation mused.

When politics meets spirituality, sparks fly! Vivek Ramaswamy just turned a pointed question about his Hindu faith into a fiery mic-drop moment at a Charlie Kirk event. Asked why a Hindu would dive into conservative politics, Ramaswamy shot back: “I’m not running to be a pastor, I’m running to lead this country.”Sharing a viral video on X, Ramaswamy said, “Started as a very awkward moment when a young man questioned my faith. Ended with a beautiful moment of education & a celebration of our Constitution. Only in America.”

A participant named Liam Birmingham asked Ramaswamy why a “polytheistic ideology” like Hinduism would share “Christian values.” Ramaswamy responded by clarifying that he is a monotheist from the Vendanta tradition of Advaita philosophy. “With due respect, I’ll just cut in right there because it’s one thing I have a little bit of authority on. I believe in this one true God from the Vedanta tradition of Advaita philosophy,” he told Birmingham.

And he continued, “I believe there’s one true God. He resides in all of us and he appears in different forms, but it’s one true God. So I’m an ethical monotheist. That’s the way I would describe my faith. Now I will tell you, I’m not running to be pastor of Ohio. I’m running to be governor of Ohio. And I didn’t run to be pastor of America. I ran to be president of the United States of America.”Drawing parallels with Christianity, Ramaswamy highlighted the conceptual similarity between the Hindu understanding of divine manifestations and the Christian doctrine of the Holy Trinity. “Doesn’t make you a polytheist, does it?” he questioned, adding that both faiths reconcile “the one and the many.”

The race to unseat Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) in the 2026 election is hotter than ever, and the GOP primary is well underway. One candidate is emerging as the clear winner in fundraising.

For the uninitiated, let’s meet the cast of characters. There’s Rep. Buddy Carter. He’s sending out mailers that purport to highlight his MAGA cred, but, to paraphrase the late Mitch Hedberg, Team Carter is basically saying, “Here, you throw this away.” Despite the amount of Carter cardstock floating around, he’s not making much of an impact.

Then there’s Derek Dooley, the former college football coach. He’s trading on the famous name of his late father, legendary University of Georgia football coach and athletic director, Vince Dooley, albeit without the UGA ties (the younger Dooley most famously coached at the University of Tennessee), gridiron success, or winning personality.

Gov. Brian Kemp has handpicked Dooley as his preferred candidate for some reason. Kemp has poured tons of money from his Hardworking Americans PAC to keep Dooley in the race, including streaming ads galore. Voters are seeing right through Dooley, however.

Excerpt:

 

House Democrats are going on the offense with tariffs and shutdown politics in swing districts, dropping TV ads against 10 vulnerable Republicans as Congress barrels toward an October government shutdown.

House Majority Forward, a nonprofit aligned with House Democratic leadership, is spending $3 million on broadcast TV and digital ads attacking Republicans on cost-of-living increases and cuts to Medicaid. Details of Tuesday’s ad buy were shared first with POLITICO.

“They promised to lower prices, but you’re not imagining it — Republican tariffs are making everything more expensive,” one of the ad’s narrator says, over flashing images of grocery items. “Juan Ciscomani voted to let Trump make tariffs even worse and voted to make healthcare even more expensive. Now, Republicans in Congress are threatening to shut down the government, causing economic chaos.”

Ciscomani, a Republican member first elected in 2022, holds an Arizona House seat that Donald Trump also narrowly won last year.

The ads come as Congress faces a government shutdown stalemate, after the Senate rejected dueling short-term government funding proposals from both parties on Friday.
