Orange meltdown
The latest news out of Kansas looks extremely bad for Trump, with the Democratic Senate candidate now topping polls in what has been a red state since the time of FDR. If Kansas falls, the Democrats will sweep both houses, possibly with a big enough majority not only to impeach Donald Trump, the most corrupt and paedophile-adjacent President in history, but also to convict him.
According to a Global Strategy Group poll, Democrat challenger Adam Hamilton leads a weak Republican incumbent Senator Roger Marshall by a point.
As reported by GSG:
"The survey also shows clear signs of fatigue with Donald Trump’s chaotic second term. Combined, these factors create a very friendly environment for Hamilton, especially among the moderates who are a key component for any Democratic statewide victory in Kansas."
Also Dem support is firmer:
"Democrats are far more consolidated behind Hamilton (+83) than Republicans are behind Marshall (only +51). Unaffiliateds favor Hamilton by double digits (+18) and his lead among the combined non-conservative Unaffiliateds & Republicans is even larger (+33)."
While much if this is down to Trump fatigue, the Dems are also benefiting form picking a candidate who resonates well with locals. Hamilton is a media-savvy pastor who appeals to Kansas yokels, while Marshall is disliked.
"Most are already familiar with Hamilton and those who recognize him rate him favorably (52% favorable/22% unfavorable), unlike Marshall whose personal favorability is in negative territory (38% fav/45% unfav). Marshall’s job rating is even worse (40% positive/50% negative)."
Marshall's figures are also in the toilet with independents:
"Among the non-conservative Unaffs/Reps who are the key to statewide victory in Kansas, Marshall’s numbers are more deeply underwater (-38 favorable; -42 positive).Marshall is also not perceived as empathetic or in touch. A very limited number believe that “focused on addressing inflation and helping lower costs” (30%), “in touch and listening to Kansans” (37%), and “cares about people like me” (36%) describes Marshall well."
The poll surveyed 800 likely 2026 General Election voters in Kansas on August 12-16, 2026.
Based on this and polls in other red states trending blue, the highly risky option of attempting to steal the Midterm elections is Trump's best bet, especially as he will soon be dead and will thus be able to escape many of the legal consequences (unlike his cronies).
