Brent Buchanan

I think I had the same initial kind of expectation as you, which was, you know, Hakeem Jeffries is going to get maybe a 10-seat majority or something or 15 seats.

And, you know, Ilhan Omar and her friends are going to drag him out of his car and put a black bag over his head and disappear him somewhere and replace him with, you know, somebody more to their liking, a speaker.

And now with, I don't know what they're going to have, 70 seats or something, 60-seat majority, it's not going to be the case.

He's going to be cruising.

It wasn't.

My good friend Brent Buchanan over at Signal, who does fantastic polling work, he made a very, very good point and said there were two things.

One, created... a win for Democrats, and another created a tsunami.

When we come back, I'll tell you exactly what those are.

It really is.

So we call them in radio teasers.

Before the break, I said that my friend Brent Buchanan made an astute observation.

I think it's really the only observation that matters in terms of takeaways for Republicans.

And a lot of the Republican pollsters kept saying, oh, no, early voting, not as bad as you're thinking.

But Brent Buchanan joining us now from Signal Polling.

Brent, welcome to the show.

Hey, good to be here.

Just look us up.

Very good.

Brent Buchanan, thanks so much for joining us today.

We really appreciate it.

That was Daily Wire White House correspondent, Mary Margaret Olohan.

All right, we're joined now in studio by Brent Buchanan, president and founder of Signal Polling.

He'll be with us throughout the night, breaking down the numbers as they come in.

Brent, great to have you on in studio.

Thank you so much for being here in studio.

Thank you.

That was Brent Buchanan, president and founder of Signal Polling.

Well, a little earlier, I got the chance to talk with a man who has played an immense role in shaping our politics and oversaw one of the largest wave elections in American history, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

I want to pick that up with you more because I have some thoughts on that as well.

But first, a dear friend of yours is Brent Buchanan, right? Brent Buchanan.

He's with Signal.

And do we have Brent on with us or is David just getting him ready? We'll have Brent Buchanan on

right

now.

Let's do it.

Perfect.

The bottom three issues, according to Signal, are baby killing at the lowest level, then gun control, then global warming.

However, Signal pollster Brent Buchanan added this week about the hard data of who's already voted, quote, Democrats have banked 17% of the electorate in early votes.

Republicans have banked 10%.

Per Signal's final midterm poll, that was expected.

This is a national, and the Democrats are not.

And so the pollster says, Brent Buchanan, who's the signal guy, it's a story of conservative defections in the early vote.

The full picture among those who have already voted is important.

So look at the independents.

The 15% who haven't decided may well stay home because there's plenty of Republicans who can't bring themselves to vote for a Democrat but will not vote for a Ken Paxton or a Darlene Graham.

You know, and so just that's the way it is.

So they're having this discussion and a well-meaning fellow writes in and says, good, sir, to Brent Buchanan, the signal pollster.

Good, sir.
