Republicans far and wide are taking the lead as the current Democrat-run America continues to tank.
Recent polls show that Iowa Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds is holding a double-digit lead over her Democrat challenger Deidre DeJear with just a week before the November 8 election.
The poll found that 48 percent of the respondents would vote for the Republican incumbent governor in the general election. In comparison, only 31 percent said they would vote for the Democrat, and five percent said the Libertarian Rick Stewart.
“Reynolds dropped a massive six-figure ad buy as election season enters into its final week, saying the people of the Hawkeye State still know ‘boys from girls.’ Reynolds, who has a dominating lead over her Democrat opponent Deidre DeJear, released the ad highlighting Iowa’s growth under her leadership and taking aim at the woke crowd,” Fox News reported.
“The governor’s campaign told Fox News Digital that they estimate the digital streaming platform, cable, and broadcast ad buy will cost around $900,000 as the gubernatorial race hits its last stretch. In the ad exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital, the Republican governor highlighted Iowa’s culture while blasting woke states, saying Iowans still know boys from girls,” the outlet added.
“Iowa is a home like no other. A land rooted in faith, freedom, and hard work, with fields of dreams that still come true,” Reynolds said in the ad. “Here in Iowa, we still know right from wrong, boys from girls, and liberty from tyranny.”
Reynolds said Iowa “stayed open and thrived” amid the COVID-19 pandemic because the state “put people to work” instead of “staying at home” and took a jab at the federal government, saying Iowans “get things done.”
“Record low unemployment, tax cuts and so much more. Here in Iowa, we may get up early, but we’re not woke. We love our country, our military, and law enforcement. Because of who we are and what we stand for, Iowa has always been America at its best. Here in this field of dreams we call home, anything is possible,” Reynolds added. “And the best is yet to come.”
WATCH:
The American electorate is extremely agitated and that doesn’t bode well for the party in power, according to a new survey.
Normally, midterm elections do not draw as many voters to the polls because there is no presidential contest to decide, but this year is shaping up to be different. Much different — more so, even, than the 2018 midterms, which drew a record amount of voters to cast ballots.
“We know that many voters will be casting ballots with anger on their minds. We just don’t know who which side will be angrier,” Democratic pollster Jeff Horwitt of Hart Research Associates told NBC News.
A new survey he conducted with Republican Bill McInturff and his team at Public Opinion Strategies found that 70 percent of registered voters have a very high interest in the midterms — registering them at a “9” or “10” on a 10-point scale, with 10 being the highest interest.
For his part, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) believes Republicans are in for massive gains around the country and in Congress.
“I would say we’ll be between plus three and plus seven … in the Senate; and we’ll be between plus 20 and plus 50 in the House, with the most likely number being plus 44,” Gingrich told The Epoch Times.
“Almost everywhere in the country, races are showing the Republicans tightening up,” Gingrich said, adding that Democrats have only themselves to blame for their loss of support, adding that inflation, crime, border security, and “woke policies” are all “coming together” against them.
“When you have sort of insane left-wing Democrats who believe that you don’t need prisons and that things can be dealt with by just being nice to murderers, I think the average person just thinks this is crazy,” he said, citing crime concerns in New York as one example.
In another good sign for the GOP, a survey last week found that independent women are shifting more to the right.
