Hope this is legit. The link provided from that tweet doesn't show the poll. Is this poll showing up anywhere?

Every day there is a new poll with new results, designed to demoralize Republicans. Just like 2015.

WP/ABC had it 52-38 in last week’s phony poll. I’ll take this one.

This poll shows the Dems up 2 points. Whatever is says, should be disregarded. Every single person capable and legally able to do so, so be voting. I realize there are millions who would vote the Dem ticket and they don’t have a clue as to the utter destruction they would cause to rain down upon American from within. That said, I wouldn’t want anyone who is legally able to vote to be disallowed. Those who value American rights need to vote against any all Democrats. From the local Dog Catcher through President, Democrats should be defeated. Let them vote as legal; simply defeat them at every level.

After today’s epic Senate melt-down, any remaining decent Democrats will be ashamed to vote.

Generic poll has it 41-36 Dems (about 8 to 9 pages into poll data)

This is pretty interesting stuff:

https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000165-a10c-db0d-a3e5-eb6d67c00001

On page 60 you can see that among those most favorable to Trump, they are more likely to vote republican than their ideological counterparts in the poll.

This suggests that every time Trump shows up in a Congressional race, he is likely to help that candidate win.

At the end of the survey it finds the #1 issue for voters is: The Economy [27%]

I would say if that is true then its game over for Dems in November.

Don’t pay any attention. Just be sure to get out and vote for the Republican candidate. Trump needs a R majority in Congress to help him MAGA.

Polls are bogus. What demographic
was polled? Downtown NYC?
For the first time in my 63 years
of walking on earth I was subject
to a political poll about a week
ago. After answering that I was
an avid Trump supporter, and that
all illegal alien invaders be deported,
the pollster hung up on me.
I’m Dang sure I’m going to vote,
and I’m double Dang sure those
who vote like me, are well aware
of the importance of the upcoming
midterms.

IOW, the partisan media shills are getting an early start on inciting riots, same way they did in 2016, with grossly unrealistic estimates of imaginary Demwit leads.

To first answer your question directly, no I haven't seen it yet.

On another subject, ever notice how polls converge to one answer the closer the election gets?

Don't get me wrong, polling has its purpose. But far too many people, IMO, get into the "horse race" aspect. What matters more is Fingerspitzengefuehl and motivated voters on Election Day. All else is prologue.

Twitter reports all kinds of falsehoods, just the opposite of those in the media.

You are doing it wrong. I get polled during political season 2 to 3 times a week. The pollsters are $12 dollar an hour morons. Sometimes I am Shanequa, sometimes Pocahontas, sometimes Sranell, sometimes Jose, sometimes Maria sometimes I am 18 and a half, sometimes 65. The goal is to poison their data sets. If it is a push poll I mess with the pollster. I keep them on the phone as long as I can. Costs them more money. Make them repeat questions. Ask for explanations. My record so far is keeping a push poller on the phone for three hours and making them cry at the end.

Of course polls are rigged.

An even better strategy is to tape the postage paid return envelope for donations to a concrete block and mailing it.
