Speaker Johnson claims polls underestimate Republican momentum ahead of midterms
House Speaker Mike Johnson told a TV audience that current polls are misreading Republican support as the midterm election approaches.
On a televised news program, House Speaker Mike Johnson contested the accuracy of recent polling data, saying it fails to capture Republican enthusiasm. He referenced a recent media report that noted a pattern of undercounting Republican respondents in October polls dating back to 1994. Johnson outlined his itinerary, noting three events in Texas and visits to eight states this week, and described large, energized crowds in competitive districts.
He urged listeners to disregard forecasts of a Democratic majority, emphasizing the palpable momentum he observes. The speaker concluded that the polling discrepancy will not affect the upcoming midterm outcomes.
