Republicans Jump Out To Historic Lead In Gallup Generic Ballot
RCP ^

Posted on 06/01/2010 1:26:00 PM PDT by big black dog

Gallup's generic polling shows the number of voters saying that they would vote for Republicans rising three points from last week, while the number saying they will vote for Democrats dropped four points. The 49%-43% lead for the Republicans is the largest that the pollster has ever recorded for the party. Moreover, Democratic enthusiasm for voting this fall fell a point, while enthusiasm among Republicans stayed about fifteen points higher. This indicates an even wider lead for Republicans once Gallup imposes a likely voter screen this fall.

RINO JUANS are still hopefully in trouble.

Temper enthusiasm, and let’s not become complascent. We need Conservatives leading by 30 points just to offset ACORN, SEIU, and democrat fraud, theft, and thuggery.

IIRC, this poll was taken just after Pelosi came out and said that the Dems would hold the House. She obviously scared a lot of folks..

Indeed. The RINOs still need a major smackdown.

What was it Obama said?

Something like, “I don't give a damn about Republicans. I only need 10 turncoats to get what I want.”

Any of y’all remember this?

“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha......... Wipeout...”

Needs to be our November theme song. The polling just keeps getting better and better.

History doesnt happen. We MAKE history. The blow out will be a DUD if you stay home or do nothing:

- put a bumper sticker on your car
- make a donation
- help a candidate, volunteer
- tell your friends to dump all Democrats
- find people who dont normally vote in off-year
elections and get them out to vote

This is the most important election in a generation. Only YOU can save American freedom.

Message to Republicans: Do more of what you’re doing and a little bit of what you’ve not been doing.

These fantastic poll results are a two edged sword. As DemoncRats realize that they are going to lose a massive number of seats in November, they will push ever harder to ram through the most attrocious socialist, anti-Christian garbage imaginable while they can.

I thought the last election was the most important one in a generation.

Perhaps they will all be from now on.

wait until the oil is still spilling in august
unemployment creeps back above 10%
north korea and iamanutjob posture some moer
and the signs of inflation bcome more obvious
the rats will be lucky to lose only 100 in the house and 13 in the senate.

Yea! Welcome back Democrat Lite! I much prefer the languid pace to socialism of the Republicans over the freefall pace of the Democrats.

I’d feel a lot better if I knew the voter fraud was eliminated...and where the stimulas money was being hoarded.

I have no doubt the GOP will manage to blow this.
