Remember shills, these are the real polls.
https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5471284-drey-victory-breaks-gop-majority/ Democrat Catelin Drey has flipped an open Iowa state Senate seat, adding to the party’s successes in special elections this year, Decision Desk HQ projected.
Drey defeated Republican Christopher Prosch in the race to replace the late state Sen. Rocky De Witt (R), who died in office in June from cancer. Democrats homed in on the Republican-leaning district as a pickup opportunity given their overperformance in many smaller elections through 2025.
Drey’s victory breaks a GOP supermajority in the state Senate, giving her party more power despite its minority status in the body. In particular, the extra Democratic vote, which will bring the margin in the chamber to 33 Republicans to 17 Democrats, will ensure that nominees from the governor can’t get approved on a party-line vote.
A two-thirds majority is needed for nominees to be confirmed.
The DNC celebrated Drey’s win on Tuesday night, noting that the district voted for President Trump in 2024 by more than 11 points. Martin said in a statement that Iowans are seeing Republicans as a “rubber stamp” for Trump’s agenda and want change.
“They are putting Republicans on notice and making it crystal clear: any Republican pushing Trump’s unpopular, extreme agenda has no place governing on behalf of Iowa families,” he said. “That’s why all year long, Iowans have been electing Democrats ready to fight for working Iowans. Make no mistake: when Democrats organize everywhere, we win everywhere, and today is no exception.”
The flip marks the second Iowa state Senate seat this year that Democrats won, after flipping another seat in January in a district that Trump won by more than 20 points. The party has also outperformed in other special state legislative elections throughout the year, winning in another Trump-friendly state Senate district in Pennsylvania in March.

I always assume that democrats are cheating in elections and polls. Everything makes more sense that way.

>>1429986 This. Trump has something like 70% approval. This country is a mess. Trump is here to fix it. Send the military in to occupy the blue states and force sanity on them. Trump is the fire and the hammer. He is the retribution of true Americans.

>>1429987 The demonrats are saying freedom freedom he's a dictator, but most people are saying that maybe we'd like Trump to be a dictator. Trump doesn't like dictators. He doesn't want to be a dictator. Trump is a man with great common sense and he's a smart person. But he knows he is loved by people and God.

>>1429991 I agree. I’m not saying Trump would make a great dictator. Maybe he would make a great dictator? I think he’d be the best dictator and a Trump dictatorship would actually be a good thing, but I’m not saying he should be one. But the thing is the democraps keep whining and crying and they’re getting in the way of real progress. That’s why I hope Trump uses the great and power military to stop them before these commies seize total power. We need to use any and all means to protect Israel.

Dipshit dems are out burning American flags, showing everyone just what they think of America, and are doing it because they think Trump's latest EO says something it doesn't. This proves they don't even care what Trump does only that HE did it. Trump could cure cancer and dems would bitch. So no, the Hill is flat out lying about this.

>>1429995 Then why did they just flip a +15 Trump seat?
Republicans aren't popular. The current dem leadership might not have a lot of fans either, but democrats as a whole have massive support especially if they pledge to be aggressive against Trump and company.

https://today.yougov.com/topics/politics/trackers/the-democratic-party-favorability they've been on a downfall ever since the election and haven't recovered.
Which isn't surprisingly when you have california the federal benefits fraud state and people like AOC representing your party who attacked someone who choked out a druggy that was about to stab people on public transit.
democrats have never been more out of touch with reality bunch of pampered nepobabies. I hope you get shanked and no one saves you

>>1430024 >republicans still have majority of the congress. 1 seat doesn't change that Well now they don't have supermajority in Iowa. And losing a seat in a district that voted +15 for Trump is not a very good sign for future election prospects.
It also isn't the first time this has happened this year.

Could it be Trump's repeated fuck ups that Republicans are too scared to oppose?

>>1430025 you burying your head and crying out in denial doesn't change reality anon its the end for you
>>1430026 probably, but i think its kinda expected with how excessively volatile his policies are, Iowa has a big farming industry and tariffs are naturally going to impact them alot quicker then elsewhere. I'm fully expecting more seats to flip but I don't think democrats are going to get anywhere close to the majority and they sure as hell aren't making a huge comeback like people think, their approval is in the toilet and politicians like AOC are toxic to the average voter.

>>1430032 >Yeah more and more seats will flip but they'll never take our relatively fragile majority! The irony is AOC is exactly the kind of new democrat who's getting popular. People like politicians who don't take Trump's shit and actually stand up to him instead of going "aw shucks, guess we'll get him next time".

>>1430034 wow because i'm sure that means more seats right mirite.
https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/favorability/democratic-party >>1430035 I disagree Zohran Mamdani is the type of democrat that's getting traction, he's more down to earth and closer to the average voter then the typical politician.
AOC is entirely performative she's just a typical politician, she attacks people and is entirely out of touch with reality. No one likes some obnoxious rich person screeching about have more empathy or think of the poor violent homeless because they'll never have to suffer the consequences.
Personally I like mamdani more then I do Trump or well really any politician and that's showing in the votes. AOC is nothing like him, I think the last decade's made people really jaded about the bleeding heart out of touch politician types.

>>1430041 >I disagree Zohran Mamdani is the type of democrat that's getting traction, he's more down to earth and closer to the average voter then the typical politician. Zohran is gaining traction because he isn't standing back and taking Trump and the Republicans shit. People want more aggressive pushback against Trump's overreach and less passive politicians who'll make a token effort and then let him continue shredding the constitution. The democrat voter base is angry, and most of all they're angry with the current dem leadership for refusing to step aside for new blood while they keep letting Trump slide.

>>1430046 ya but there's a huge difference between mamdani and other democrats that's inherent right now inside the democrat party, he's being called a communist by trump meanwhile the democrat party is trying to character assasinate him saying he's going to destroy new york's economy.
the mainstream democrat party has more in common with trump then they do with mamdani, AOC included
