IDK. Maybe MS, AL, WY, ID, SC? The Plains states like KS, MO, IA have been GOP for a while but I don't think they are as religiously monochrome as a few in the deep south or just as radical as some of the mountain west.

Ok now I get it. I wasn’t sure if his question. I thought me meant how many would pass a CA amendment. I agree with you. Kentucky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kansas is home to the Westboro Church and where they bombed abortion clinics. 6 minutes ago, oblong said: Ok now I get it. I wasn’t sure if his question.

The level of extremism is certainly a marker, but not the only one. Another example would be Oregon/WA. Those states in general go blue today, but there is a real lunatic fringe up in the mountains that is probably a lot worse than the MI militia was in it's heyday, but you couldn't judge the average level of radicalism of the rest of the state by it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered a little about LA because of the big urban pop an NOLA but I guess that doesn't swing it much. S Dak seems like an outlier also. Maybe anyone with liberal tendencies in S Dak has already migrated to MN. When we were living there the pull of the Twin Cities on S Dak youth was pretty clear, both for employment and cultural reasons.

My guesses would be OK, AR, AL, LA, MS WV, and UT. TN and KY seem like coinflips (KY will be on the ballot this fall I believe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewsieg Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I'm in Macomb county, Marlinga is just a name that is known which is good as James is now known too. Does the name Marlinga carry any weight in Oakland county though? Guess that is the question. Biggest key I see in those stats are the unfavorable numbers. Not a whole lot of voters turned off just by his name, unlike James. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtutiger Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Is the Target Insyght poll a D internal? District level polling can be a crapshoot, but if Dixon's numbers are like that in a district anchored mostly by Macomb County, she's going to have a lot of trouble winning Michigan.

This is a mostly Macomb County district that does not include deep red districts like Macomb Township, Chesterfield, Washington Township etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it is a D internal. Keep in mind Whitmer was +9 in this district in 2018. This district includes places like Eastpointe which was Biden +50 and Warren which is the third largest city in the state that was Biden +13. This district does not include ruby red area like much of Macomb Township, Chesterfield, Washington which will bring the county closer than this poll indicates. People write off this district because it's Macomb County but it doesn't include a lot of the reddest parts of the county and includes all of the bluest parts of the county.

Motown Bombers Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) The funny thing is all the small donors donate only to Trump who doesn't use those funds to help any candidates and the RNC is footing all of Trump's legal bills.

Mr.TaterSalad Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Pastor Ralph Rebandt, who wanted to be Governor and now wants to be LG, says he won't meet alone in a room with a woman who isn't his wife. UM, what century are we even in? Furthermore, how can be be Tudor Dixon's LG if he won't even ever meet with her alone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always play the long game, so at some point this will happen. Maybe not next year, or the year after, or in five years or ten years or twenty years. But it will happen at some point. It took them fifty years to overturn Roe. The way they figure it, they got time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
