Power Line's Steven Hayward links to a just-released USA TODAY poll of voters. See what they found:
On a generic ballot, one naming parties but not individual candidates, those surveyed now support the Republican congressional candidate over the Democratic one by 49%-45%, a turnaround since the USA TODAY poll taken in July, when Democrats led 44%-40%.
Now 40% of Hispanics and 21% of Blacks are backing the Republican candidate. To compare, Republican Donald Trump carried 12% of Blacks and 32% of Hispanics in the 2020 presidential election, according to network exit polls.
If exit polling substantiates these minority turnouts for the GOP, there will be much gnashing of teeth at the DNC. Those are voters without whose support Democrats have little hope.
Several pundits have opined that a large Hispanic turnout for the GOP could cause Democrats to change their view of the Trump wall on the southern border, from opposition to favoring its completion.
