Republicans starting to overtake Dem incumbents
The closer Election Day gets, the more evident it becomes that last summer was the high water mark for Democrats this election cycle. Republican candidates are now surging in earnest, in many cases overtaking their Democrat opponents. This is especially magnificent to behold in several high-profile races for governor, in which Republicans are starting to put daylight between themselves and the Democrats who have been torturing constituents with regressive left-wing policy.
Few Democrat governors are more deserving of going down in flames on Nov. 8 than scary fascist Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. The Mich. witch famously banned outdoor activities such as golf and landscaping — to the extent that aisles of gardening supplies were ordered closed off in large stores that were otherwise open — as part of her China-strength stay-at-home executive orders during the COVID times.
Whitmer really loved her emergency powers, and Michiganders remember. On Friday, RealClearPolitics projected that Gretchen would suffer a defeat to Republican Tudor Dixon by nearly three points. Flip!

In dark blue New York, which hasn’t elected a Republican governor in 20 years, Rep. Lee Zeldin has surpassed current Gov. Kathy Hochul in a poll for the first time, 45.6% to 45.3%. Yes, yes, that’s not even a rounding error and completely within the 3.31% margin of error. Yet the same poll, which was released on Wednesday, finds New Yorkers have a more favorable opinion of Zeldin than Hochul at 40.8% to 36.5% — a 4.3-point spread. And Hochul’s unfavorable rating is even more impressive, at 48.6% to Zeldin’s 39.5% — that’s a 9.1-point difference. I live in the NYC metro market, and desperate Dems have been running non-stop negative ads about Zeldin. Clearly, it’s not working.

Meanwhile, RealClearPolitics is also projecting that the Wisconsin governor’s seat may soon be back in Republican hands. Current Democrat Gov. Tony Evers is the political opposite of Republican challenger, Army vet and construction-industry businessman Tim Michels. “Outsider, Veteran, Builder,” Michels sums himself up, and his commonsense, conservative “Blueprint for Wisconsin” seems to be appealing to cheeseheads this fall.
Stephen F. Sisolak, the Democrat governor of Nevada, is also fixing to become a one-termer, as Army vet Sheriff Joe Lombardo has consistently polled a couple points ahead of him since the beginning of September. With crime surfacing as this election’s hot-button issue (along with the economy), Lombardo is clearly the most attractive candidate for voters who yearn for old-fashioned things like law and order.
Long-time Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt, another law enforcement alpha male, is projected to snag the state from the control of Democrat Gov. Laura Kelly. On his website, Schmidt brags that he “took the Obama-Biden administration to court – and won. And he defended President Trump’s America First policies that grew jobs, promoted freedom and made our economy strong.” Sounds like he’s got the recipe to flip the Kansas governor seat and turn Kelly into yet another one-term Democrat wonder.
And finally, in a shock to East Coasters like myself who think of Oregon as the home of that Antifa-riddled s***hole, Portland, Republican Christine Drazan is favored to take the helm of state. Democrat nominee Tina Kopek, who’s been speaker of the Oregon House of Representatives for a decade, has a long record of pushing pro-criminal policies.

This looks like a red tide rising even in blue states. There are also indications that several House seats will flip to the GOP.
