Washington Examiner columnist Joe Concha said Republicans are undervalued in polling and expressed optimism that the party will secure major victories in the midterm elections, the Washington Examiner reported on November 3. [1]

According to the Washington Examiner, Concha cited survey data showing that one in three Democrats answer calls from pollsters compared to only one in ten Republicans. [1]

Concha previously praised the New York Times for reporting on political dynamics in Alaska, where two candidates named Dan Sullivan appeared on the ballot, according to a separate report by the Washington Examiner. [2]

As FTMQ News reported earlier, House Speaker Mike Johnson similarly claimed that polls underestimate Republican enthusiasm before the midterms. However, final polling by The New York Times and Siena College showed Democratic Senate candidates leading in seven key battleground states. [3][4]
