A new poll has bad news for Democrat Andrew Janz, who is running against Republican Rep. Devin Nunes in the November election.

Pollsters at the University of California, Berkeley, Institute for Governmental Studies surveyed more than 5,000 likely voters in eight California congressional districts and found that Democrats were “well positioned to capture a number of GOP-held seats considered by neutral observers to be in play in this year’s congressional elections.”

But in the 22nd District, the trend doesn’t hold: Incumbent Nunes, a Tulare Republican, had the support of 53 percent of likely voters, while Democratic challenger Janz had 45 percent.

In an analysis accompanying the survey results, Poll Director Mark DiCamillo said “the shadow of President Donald Trump looms large over voters in each district and appears to be a reason why a number of these historically Republican-leaning districts are in play.”

Pollsters found a direct relationship between respondents’ support for congressional candidates and their like or dislike of Trump.

In Nunes’ district, 56 percent of polled likely voters approved of Trump’s job performance and 44 percent disapproved.

4. Not all of CA is progressive

The Central Valley is the home of Republican farmers who like to complain about big government while getting huge subsidies and hiring slave labor.

5. My lesbian sister-in-law and her wife who live in Fresno

vote for Nunes.

They are typical low information voters. They won’t even go to Pride parades with me.

6. I railed at my next door neighbor, a Repube lesbian, for 10 years.

Then she married a Democrat. She still claims to be a Repube. "Democrats only want free stuff." (This is the south...figure it out.) and I would scream at her NEIGHBOR.... THEY HATE YOU. THEY WANT YOU DEAD! WTF?

7. I say the same to my sisters-in-law but they will

not discuss issues with me.

They just don’t want to get into politics.

They have been together for 30 years and got married a few years ago. I asked them did it bother them that they had to wait until lately to have the rights me and her sister have. Crickets.
