Leftists don’t know what to do next. Their party is in complete ruins.
And Democrats are in panic mode thanks to a damaging poll that just dropped.
In a stunning show of public faith, most American voters are betting big on Republicans to come out on top in the latest government shutdown showdown, according to a fresh Harvard-Harris poll.
The poll straight-up asked folks: “Who do you think will win the government shutdown — the Democrats or the Republicans?”
A solid 62 percent of those surveyed picked the Republicans as the likely winners, leaving just 38 percent backing the Democrats to pull off a victory.
This wave of support cuts across party lines in eye-opening ways, painting a picture of a nation fed up with left-wing games.
Republicans themselves are fired up, with a whopping 92 percent convinced their side will dominate this fight.
Even independents, that crucial swing group, are leaning right—62 percent of them see the GOP walking away with the win.
On the flip side, Democrats are clinging to hope, with 70 percent thinking they’ll somehow triumph in this mess they’ve helped create.
The core of the clash boils down to Democrats digging in their heels against keeping spending at current levels, all while trying to prop up bloated COVID-era handouts that should have ended ages ago.
They’re spinning this into a big healthcare drama, but House Speaker Mike Johnson from Louisiana isn’t buying it—he calls it straight-up deception, insisting these are completely different battles.
“I want you to look at the real facts,” Johnson stated during a press conference on Monday. He said that Republicans passed a measure in order to “keep the lights on and keep the government open so that appropriators can finish this very healthy process for the people they represent.”
He hammered home the point: “Why do we say it’s clean? Because there’s nothing to it. It’s 24 pages. It’s the bare minimum. It just says, keep the status quo.”
Johnson didn’t mince words about Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer from New York, accusing him of manufacturing drama to appease the radical fringes of his own party.
“They created a red herring. A red herring is a distraction. They decided that they would pick a fight on health care. Let me look right into the camera and tell you very clearly, Republicans are the ones concerned about health care,” Johnson said.
“There’s a lot of thoughtful debate and discussion that has already been going on about that, and will go on about it, but that’s a December 31 issue.”
He laid it out plainly: “So, Chuck Schumer is scrambling. He has to have an issue.”
Johnson wrapped it up by stressing, “They’re two totally separate things. The clean continuing resolution would simply keep the lights on so that the members in the House and Senate can have those debates on health care. We were always planning it. We have lots of ideas on the table on how to fix it, but we don’t yet have consensus on it because it’s very complicated. We have time to do it.”
This poll, conducted October 1-2 among 2,413 registered voters, carries a margin of error of plus or minus 1.99 percent, giving it solid credibility in capturing the national mood.
For everyday Americans tired of Washington elites playing politics with their livelihoods, this survey spells trouble for Democrats and a major morale boost for the GOP.
