It predicted that Republicans will now likely take seats in Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and New Hampshire.<\/p>\n<p>It comes as recent polls signaled that Americans are increasingly dissatisfied with the direction the United States is heading. One from Gallup <a href=\"https:\/\/news.gallup.com\/poll\/404414\/gop-political-winds-back-2022.aspx\">found<\/a> that 17 percent of respondents said they\u2019re satisfied with where the country is going, which is\u00a0the worst of any midterm since at least 1982, according to the pollster.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, decades-high inflation appears to remain the top issue for many voters. A poll from Quinnipiac released Wednesday found that 36 percent of voters view inflation as the top issue, which far outpaces the No. 2 choice, abortion, which garnered 10 percent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat issue concerns Americans most? It\u2019s not even close,\u201d Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy <a href=\"https:\/\/poll.qu.edu\/poll-release?releaseid=3861\">said<\/a>. \u201cInflation: the price of putting food on the table, paying for gas at the pump and the diminishing value of the money they earn runs away with the ranking,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans have targeted the Biden administration and Democratic policies as a primary cause of decades-high inflation. They\u2019ve also said that polices around oil drilling and COVID-19 lockdowns have harmed the U.S. economy and that Democrats are to blame.<\/p>\n<p>In that poll, 34 percent said that they believe President Joe Biden is handling the economy well, whereas 61 percent said he isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>Biden and members of his party have focused on abortion following the Supreme Court\u2019s historic reversal of Roe v. Wade over the summer as well as accusing Republicans and supporters of former President Donald Trump of being extremists who will undermine U.S. institutions.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday evening, Biden continued that trend and attempted to tie the alleged attack targeting Paul Pelosi to claims that the 2020 election was stolen. The suspect in that incident last week, David DePape, was known to be involved in far left-wing circles and reportedly had a history of mental illness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s an alarming rise in the number of people in this country condoning political violence or simply remaining silent,\u201d Biden said, again attacking candidates who have questioned the mainstream narrative around the 2020 election. \u201cIn our bones we know democracy is at risk, but we also know this: It\u2019s in our power to preserve our democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Later in the speech, Biden asserted that it will take time to count mail-in ballots and early, in-person ballots following next week\u2019s midterms.\u00a0\u201cIt is important for citizens to be patient,\u201d Biden said.<\/p>\n<p>A chief criticism of the 2020 presidential election was how long it took\u2014sometimes weeks\u2014to count votes. In Brazil, a country that held a presidential election over the past weekend, the final results were delivered on the same day.<\/p>\n<h2>Accuracy Questions<\/h2>\n<p>Several polling analysts on Wednesday <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/polls-of-midterm-voters-are-prone-to-bandwagon-effect-are-unreliable-experts_4837867.html\">told<\/a> The Epoch Times that polls\u2014even those that show Republicans pulling slightly ahead of Democrat candidates\u2014could suffer from a \u201cbandwagon effect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Poll results from\u00a0FiveThirtyEight, RealClearPolitics, and others like The New York Times have frequently favored Democrats in Senate and gubernatorial races.<\/p>\n<p>But\u00a0Lonny Leitner, vice president of the government affairs firm LS2 Group, said that many polls don\u2019t sample enough people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople who are looking at polls where the sample is [made up of] registered voters are wasting their time, because those polls are designed to make Democrats look good. People need to focus on polls that have a larger sample, like 1,000 voters, and they need to be \u2018likely voters\u2019 versus registered voters,\u201d Leitner told The Epoch Times, adding that for this election cycle, \u201cDemocrats peaked too soon\u201d after the Supreme Court ruling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPolls show that abortion isn\u2019t even the top-three issue for the majority of Americans when asked,\u201d he added. \u201cEverything is coming back to inflation, the economy, gas prices, and crime.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"author_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"one_author_block round\">\n<div class=\"top_row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/author-jack-phillips\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2019\/06\/13\/Jack-Phillips.jpg\" alt=\"Jack Phillips\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"names\">\n<p>Breaking News Reporter<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Follow<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Jack Phillips is a breaking news reporter at The Epoch Times based in New York.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republicans are projected to have a good night on Nov. 8 in the Senate, according to a new forecast released Thursday.The model from RealClearPolitics shows that the GOP will control<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1894961,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[547],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1723444","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-bongino-report"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1723444","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1723444"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1723444\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1894961"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1723444"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1723444"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1723444"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
