Ralston Reports: ‘Every Trend Favors The GOP’

Tracking voter registration numbers, the Nevada Independent’s Jon Ralston declares, “every trend favors the GOP” in the 2022 midterms as Republicans erase the Democrats’ voter registration advantage. Democrat voters continue to flee the party, choosing instead to register as Republicans or Independents. In his latest analysis, Ralston found that “the trend continues to be ominous for the Dems when it comes to party-switching as nearly three times as many Dems switched to the GOP as vice-versa in January.”

Reg gap between Ds and Rs hasn't been this close in NV since a decade and a half ago, close to when GOP actually had a registration edge here. (Yes, NV once was a red state.)

Both majors have lost market share to non-majors, and Rs now below 30%.

Indies rule, favor GOP for now.

Adding to the Democrats woes, new polling and voter registration numbers confirm that young voters are not enthusiastic about Nevada Democrats.

The Cook Political Report also shifted both the governor’s race and the Senate race from lean Democrat to Toss Up. Reading the political tea leaves, Governor Steve Sisolak told the Washington Post that he didn’t know if Biden should run again and added, “Is he an asset? To people that like him, he’s a huge asset,” he said. “The people that are his detractors, he’s not an asset. You know, we’ll stand in Nevada on our record, what we’ve done.”

Nevada has record unemployment, a failing school system plagued with violence, an increase in violent crime, and is one of only nine states enforcing strict masking policies—which were implemented under emergency directives that never expire.

According to the data, a red wave is predicted in the upcoming November midterms. This recent polling of young voters and the flight of independents and Latinos to the Republican party, adds not only to the data, but to the overall vulnerability of Democratic incumbents and candidates who have consistently talked and tweeted about abortion, voting rights, and climate change—instead of the economy, jobs, and inflation.

Nevada has historically been a swing state, but as the Nevada Democrat Party, now lead by Socialists, and Nevada Democrats swing further left and partner with radical organizations, polling and voter registrations shows that Nevadan’s are fleeing from what Ralston referred to as “the most effective Democratic Party in the country.”
