The Electorate is moving strongly in the direction of the Republicans. It should not be shocking, given the disastrous inflationary Economic conditions. Voters, now focusing on the choice ahead of them just over two weeks away, are deciding we cannot keep the radical Democrats in office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One sign that things are truly turning are two Governor races in deep blue states &#8211; Minnesota and Michigan. New polls out today show Democrat incumbent <a href=\"https:\/\/alphanews.org\/exclusive-jensen-takes-lead-in-minnesota-governors-race\/\"><strong>Gov. Tim Walz virtually tied with his GOP challenger, Dr. Scott Jensen<\/strong><\/a>. In Michigan, radical Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/epolls\/2022\/governor\/mi\/michigan_governor_dixon_vs_whitmer-7545.html\"><strong>now leads by only two points<\/strong><\/a>. These close races for incumbent Democrat Governors are a &#8220;canary in the coal mine,&#8221; if there ever was one. These two will very possibly pull out these races &#8211; they should. But who knows? An ill wind is blowing for the Democrats, and it is entirely of their own making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A shock pill shows Republican Dr. Scott Jensen leading his Democrat opponent Tim Walz in the Minnesota governor\u2019s race.  <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/n50TFzD3au\">https:\/\/t.co\/n50TFzD3au<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BreitbartNews\/status\/1583468492241612805?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 21, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud835\udc0d\ud835\udc04\ud835\udc16 \ud835\udc0f\ud835\udc0e\ud835\udc0b\ud835\udc0b: Scott Jensen takes lead in Minnesota governor\u2019s race<br><br>GOVERNOR<br>(R) Scott Jensen 46.3% (+0.5)<br>(D) Tim Walz 45.8%<br><br>\u29bf Alpha News &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/trafalgar_group?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@trafalgar_group<\/a> <br>\u29bf 10\/17-19 | D45\/R40\/I15 | \u00b13.7% <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/kAqSH8oMP8\">https:\/\/t.co\/kAqSH8oMP8<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/fIJZ2hoo5b\">pic.twitter.com\/fIJZ2hoo5b<\/a><\/p>&mdash; InteractivePolls (@IAPolls2022) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IAPolls2022\/status\/1583232538902155266?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 20, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I like it.
