Republicans Outpacing Democrats by 6 Million Votes in the House!

What a strange last 48 hours we’ve had.

The 2022 mid-term election has been sort off a mixed bag.

Depending on who you talk to, it’s either been a disaster for republicans or a disaster for democrats.

Let’s actually look at the cold hard facts though.

In the House, republicans have received 6 MILLION more votes than the democrats.

Why the gloom mindset from republican voters then?

Breitbart provided a bit of perspective on the situation:

According to the Cook Political Report, as of Thursday morning, November 10, Republicans have won 50,113,534 votes, or 52.3% of the vote, compared to 44,251,768, or 46.2% of the vote. Republicans lead by 6.1%, which is better than their average in “generic congressional ballot” polls, in which the party led by 2.5% in the final RealClearPolitics average before the election. But Republicans have only managed to flip nine seats thus far — likely enough to control the House, but far short of a “wave” result many anticipated.

The mismatch between overall votes cast for Republicans and the actual result reflects the polarized nature of congressional maps. It also reflects the fact that Republican losses against many Democratic incumbents were very narrow. However, it could also suggest that Democrats ran a more effective campaign, concentrating resources where they were needed to defend their vulnerable positions.

Put it this way.

The republican lead is currently similar to that of the 2010 Tea Party wave, in which republicans won 63 seats by beating democrats by 6.5%.

In spite of everything, the republicans currently lead in the House by 6.1%.

It will be very interesting how the end result pans out..
