A prominent pollster aligned with the MAGA movement issued Republicans a dire warning Thursday just ahead of the midterms, one that he argued should be “terrifying” for the GOP.
“I just don't see how Democrats get any less than 235, 239 seats [in the House], I really don't,” said
Rich Baris, director of
Big Data Poll and host of “
Inside the Numbers with the People’s Pundit,” speaking with “Breaking Points.” “And again, it could be a lot worse than people think.”
Calling in from North Carolina, Baris said that Republicans’ midterm prospects in the Tar Heel State were extraordinarily dire. While President Donald
Trump carried North Carolina in 2024 by
more than 3 points, recent
polls show Democratic Senate nominee Roy Cooper with a double-digit lead against his Republican opponent, Michael Whatley.
