After the last presidential election... We’re supposed to pay attention to polls again?
The same polls that gave Hillary! a big win.
That poll has the Democrats running against a generic Republican candidate in most cases. Put a name to the candidate and we’ll see what happens. When Nelson was polled against a generic Republican in Florida it was a close race. Put Scotts face on the poll and suddenly Nelson is up by 10.
Interesting that they site 2 left leaning polling sources indicating Dems are not doing as well as the fake media tells us they are doing.
This is why trying to use special elections to forecast general election turn out models is stupid. The party out of power always has an enthusiasm edge so they are more likely to turn our for special elections.
Some people live and die by polls, weather forecasts or market predictions. IMO, they all have the same thing in common with climate change predictions or MSM fact checking.
I still have “zero” confidence in any org that calls themselves “Survey Monkey”.
Still, you look at what the Dems have to defend and it is hard to picture them gaining seats. You can three gazillion illegals dissing Trump in California and New York but that’s still only four Senate seats.
The poll next Tuesday in SW Pennsylvania is for real and should be taken seriously.
These Democrat polls have an agenda. These polls are used to create panic among Democrats so they give more money and “volunteers” to the cause.
They know it is all about turnout. The money buys volunteers and he volunteers execute the ground game that creates the turnout.
The purpose of Democrat polls is to prevent complacency among Democrats.
Fyi
I sure hope Claire McCaskill goes bye-bye.
Judging by the Missouri GOP’s penchant for selecting candidates with self-inflicted wounds like Todd Akin and Eric Greitens I have my doubts.
There are 25 Democrat Senate Seats up for re-election this November. That's more than half their total Caucus in the Senate.
The likelihood they're going to keep all 25? Not likely. They're in trouble in Indiana for example, and it gets worse for them in states that Trump won in 2016 - especially out West.
If anything, I'll predict right now the Senate will see MORE Republicans after the November 2018 election than now.
The GOP will pick up seats in the House and Senate. There is no blue wave. The Demo rats are in disarray.
Arizona is in huge trouble and needs to remedy it ASAP if possible.
Kristensp? Sinema is the Dem pick. She is a true Dem loon, but clever as Trump's snake. She just introduced snakish legislation to punish primarily the Sinaloa drug cartel. It is a brilliant move. Protect the country from foreign criminals, but let in all illegals can get behind the scenes seems to be her ploy.
Her record demonstrates this type of approach. Give the Pubs the unimportant, but the Dems the real power.
The Republicans have been divided by Flakes retirement into to RINO camp supporting squishy McSally and the Conservative supporting Kelli Ward.
McSally is not acceptable, but is slowly morphing from RINO to more conservative. She may pull it off. But she will not win against Sinema most likely.
Ward also has loony things in her background.
They are already the stuff of yet to be aired campaign ads no doubt.She is conservative, but will probably have a harder time winning than McSally.
Conservatives best chance IMHO is to go after Sinema now; to get out front with Ward's little loonies and defend her now.
Then get out and let Arizonans know what Trump has done for them and why Kelli Ward will support him and Arizonans best.
Better Hurry Arizona conservatives. The “Force” in the party is not for you. Or Trump. Or Ward.
Senate was never in play... GOP will almost certainly GAIN a significant number of seats in the Senate in the mid terms, just the most basic understanding of the map of seats up shows this.
House is a different beast, but any one telling you the Dems will take the Senate, is flat out LYING to you, or is frankly so stupid they should likely be placed back into middle school
If the republicans pass one letter of gun control in any way shape or form they can kiss the mid terms goodbye.
Backing Trump and starting to purge the RINOs (without giving the Congress away out of spite) is the straightest path to a hugh and series chunk of what we want....
