Scarborough: Dems Are Picking Up 10 Points in the Generic Ballot Tests

‘It’s not as wide of a gap as Democrats might believe’

EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUGH: “Donald Trump hates this privately and he’s complaining about it privately because this will hurt him. This will hurt Republican candidates in the very areas that cost him the election in 2020, the suburbs. We always talk about the suburbs of north Atlanta, the Philly suburbs, the I–4 corridor, which of course the Republicans did fairly well in, but those suburban areas are areas that Republicans have been losing over the past several years, the suburbs, and this is only going to cause, especially women in the suburbs, to move away from them more. On the other side you have Hispanic voters who have long been more traditionally pro-life than a lot of Democrats have given them credit for. You may have a break towards Republicans on that side of the margin. And then, of course, as always, there’s a split in education. College grads, people with post-grad degrees, they’re going to move toward the Democrats after this ruling, if you believe the polling. And those with high school degrees, those who have really formed the backbone of a lot of Republican surge over the past 20, 30 years, they’re going to most likely, if you believe the polls, move to Republicans. So, I don’t think it’s clear-cut. I will say something has happened over the past two, three months, and maybe it’s the gun debate, maybe it’s the leaked memo, that in several polls have shown Democrats picking up 10 points in the generic ballot test. This is a little tighter than some of the ones that I’ve seen, but there’s some others that show Democrats surging as much as 10 points."
