Johnson Predicts GOP Surge Despite Democrats' 47%-36% Poll Lead

Summary
One week before the Nov. 3 midterms, Mike Johnson said Republican enthusiasm is being underestimated and argued Democrats' leftward shift will push voters toward the GOP.
A Reuters/Ipsos poll showed registered voters favoring Democrats 47% to 36%, but Johnson said distrust has made many Republicans less willing to answer surveys.
Johnson tied that argument to Democratic candidates' links to the Democratic Socialists of America, saying voters will reject proposals such as abolishing borders and prisons and defunding police.
Across 21 states he plans to visit in the final week, Johnson said his travel has reinforced confidence in GOP turnout and in keeping Republicans in control of Congress.
He cast the election as a choice between Republican economic policies and what he called two years of congressional chaos and retribution if Democrats take power.
