Schmoll: Republicans Pull Dead Even with Democrats in Congressional Midterm Race, 50/50

Mediaite:

A stunning new survey conducted by the Center for American Political Studies at Harvard (CAPS), the Harris Poll, and HarrisX suggests that the GOP has drawn even with the Democrats with eight months to go until the midterm elections.

The poll of 1,999 registered voters, which was conducted online between February 25 and 26, found that 50% of Americans would vote for the Republican candidate in their congressional district and 50% would vote for the Democratic one if the midterms were held today. That marked an enormous improvement for the GOP, which trailed the Democrats 54%-46% on the same question last month.

Trump's job approval also ticked up by 3%:

For his part, Trump's net approval rating ticked upward from -6 last month (45%-51%) to -3, (46%-49%).

In more Schmolling news: Reports of a "MAGA split" over Iran have been greatly exaggerated.

The "split" involves the MAGA Grifters, a small but very loud group of rebranded American Bund Nazis who seem to be omnipresent because none of them have jobs and they post anti-Jewish propaganda all day online, and normie conservatives with jobs and families.

The normie conservatives are at least four times as numerous as the American Bund Nazis.

The RealClearPolitics Average showed that overall support for Operation Epic Fury, the joint military campaign undertaken by the United States and Israel over the weekend, had the president underwater a bit with 39% approving of the action and 52% disapproving.

A breakdown of some of the individual polls showed that Republicans were united on the issue, with no one poll showing more than 18% opposing military action in Iran. The vast majority of the disapproval came from Democrats -- who were also fairly united -- and, to a lesser extent, independents.

A CBS/YouGov poll taken between March 2 and March 3, for example, showed that just 10% of Democrats approved of military action in Iran and 90% disapproved. Among independents, 63% opposed the action and 37% were in favor. A majority of Republicans (85%) supported military action and just 15% did not.

A similar result came from a Washington Post poll taken on March 1, which showed Democrat opposition at 87% and support at 9%. On the Republican side, 81% approved and 12% did not -- and independents once again fell in the middle, with 59% against military action and 28% in favor of it.

A Reuters/Ipsos survey followed the same pattern, with 5% of Democrats supporting military action in Iran and 95% against it. Republicans came out largely in favor of military action, showing 82% approving and 18% disapproving. Among independents, 67% disapproved and 29% supported the action.

The apparent outlier included in the average was a poll from InsiderAdvantage taken on February 28, but it still showed similar numbers from Republicans: 79.3% in favor and 12% opposed. The numbers for Democrats shifted slightly, with 62.5% disapproving and 32.1% approving. Independents also showed much higher numbers in favor of military action, with 45.3% supporting and 40.3% opposing.

I'm definitely not saying that if you've made the unwise choice to join the ranks of the anti-intervention absolutists and Ron Paul acolytes, then you're a Nazi.

But I am saying that the Nazis are all lining up to denounce this particular military action, because the only issue that revs their engine is Israel. And they're not neutral in this war; like the left that they so closely resemble (because they're racialist lefties), they're not anti-war, they're just on the other side. They want Iran to finish that nuclear missile and drop it on the Jewish capital.

They say about the left: It doesn't matter what issue you're talking about, for a leftist, the issue is always and only about The Revolution. Every issue is just an excuse to propagandize for The Revolution.

Gay? You need communism. Trans? Communism will fix you. Black? Have you ever heard of communism?

And so it is with the pseudoright Nazis: No matter what issue is being discussed, the only issue they're interested in is, as they call it, the "JQ," the "Jewish Question," which is a euphemism. They say "JQ" because it sounds better than what the question actually is, which is the same question Hitler asked: What are we going to do with all of these unwanted Jews infiltrating our society and subverting us?

And no, I'm not going to hold back any longer. I held back for ten fucking years. I am done playing nice with the Nazis. The Nazis used to employ a small level of Plausible Deniability, so that it felt rude to accuse of them of being Nazis.

But, like the leftwing they resemble in so many ways, they aren't even bothering to hide it any longer, so I'm not going to bother being polite about it.

Some other stuff:
