Party members' frustration wasn't founded on the facts as much as on their own impatience and distrust with minority messaging and leadership.
So their frustration was instead re-channeled more toward in working hard to regain majority status.

These poll numbers above are no longer as important as winning.
LANDSLIDE WINS actually happened after this poll was taken.
So, to continue posting pre-Nov 4 negative polling is to intentionally or not, undermine the dynamics of the Big Win on November 4.
Going toward 2026 midterms, it will be more helpful to post information that comes from polls taken since November 4.
