about the economy, but maybe, there is a idea there are voting against republicans, voting against donald trump, maybe that kind of thing, or environment now, where it can drive turnout in a way that it hasn t in the past midterms. basically, if democrats walk away with a good night tomorrow and our poll does give them a couple of things to be hopeful about, if they walk away with a good night, i kind of see the rules of politics we reaching a little bit. steve kornacki, thank you very much. i would say that last point that steve was making about quantitative analysis, versus qualitative analysis. i don t feel all that surprised. it seems that what people are saying they care about, and how those numbers breakdown. but thinking about 120 230 million people turning out, already breaking midterm turnout records. i mean, that s to me, that s surprising, and that makes it feel unpredictable. i remember 2014 very well, because you know, i started the show in 2013. and it was the fir
tied up. in arizona, mark kelly facing a challenge from republican blake masters, completely tied up. in nevada, catherine cortez masto facing a challenge from adam laxalt. say it with me, completely tied up. in wisconsin, ron johnson being challenged by democratic senator. in new hampshire, maggie being challenged by republican dan baltic, tied up. all of them, each of them just incredibly tight. many of them with final polls well inside the margin of error. the outcome in any of those races could make the difference between the senate led by chuck schumer, a senate that for instance would continue to confirm president biden s judicial appointments.
they re seeing happening in the states in which they live and watching which type of legislation are being imposed, and the impact is having on women who don t share their views. it is happening to women. i don t think they re fully prepared for what comes next. there is always that thing in politics, you can beat your chest about a lot of stuff until you actually have to act on it. they don t know what to do in the space because as we ve already seen, we have gone from oh, the locals, the states can decide to, the national bands. lindsey graham. the men don t know quite yet what to do for the women. the men don t know to begin with. we are going to leave it there for the moment. jen psaki, michael steele, thank you all for your wisdom and insights. rachel, back over to you. thank you alex. the great state of nevada is one of those states where the experts and much of the polling are basically saying that tomorrow is a tie, it looks like a tie in all the important races, there s no
how is the vibe, i know there is a lot of clips that went out from it? what i came to wisconsin the day after the rally was over, but the energy from president obama was still very much alive and well. i want canvassing with some organizers and they specifically told me that before they were going out for the canvas that president obama s presence in the state let them know that what they were doing was important. it was a motivator for the organizers. i was with lieutenant governor barnes who is running for senate. i was out with him, i was that
enthusiasm, there s been a change in the last several weeks where democrats have withdrawn. and even i think that the ultimate wild in this election tomorrow. we are looking at probable turnout when all is said and done of somewhere in the neighborhood of 120 230 million voters, for a midterm election. just eight years ago in the 2014 midterm, 85 million people voted in it. that s how much interest in politics has risen over the last decade, to be a level that high, it would have been unthinkable before. and, so it shows this is the ultimate variable. are we at a point in this midterm elections where democrats may get voters motivated who in the past would not have been? maybe they re not wild about biden, maybe they re not wild about the economy, but maybe, there is a idea there are voting against republicans, voting against donald trump, maybe that kind of thing, or environment now, where it can drive turnout in a way that it i remember 2014 very well,
