Energized against Donald Trump, Democrats reach +14 in the midterms
ABC ^ | 4sep18 | Gary Langer

Posted on 09/04/2018 4:23:10 PM PDT by vannrox

With their supporters energized in opposition to Donald Trump, Democrats hold their widest advantage in midterm election vote preferences since 2006, when they seized control of both houses of Congress.

Rebounding from a tighter contest in the spring, Democratic House candidates now lead their Republican opponents nationally by 52-38 percent among registered voters in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll – a lead that holds up across a range of likely voter models.

What does the FEC say about Disney’s attempts to influence the stock market and elections? Undisclosed campaign financing against Trump and Republicans?

Hence my comment on the turnouts in FL and AZ, hundred thousand each above D turnout.

Hard to beat that. If 30% of indies vote in AZ (a normal figure) it will take them voting almost 2:1 for Enema for her to win the Senate seat. Won’t happen.

Similar #s in FL.

The fact remains that Democrats have never, NEVER been more worked up, more frenzied, and more lunatic than ever.

That's true about the extremists on the edge. But they can't win an election by themselves.

The Undecided are always crucial. And the Undecided people see that things are getting much better, and they see that the Left has become unhinged.

I'm not very worried about November.

I think they are setting up a plausible way to call the election illegitimate and if appropriate start a physical shooting revolution. At least a burn the city to the ground riots.

Thanks for reminding me.
After that headline I was just getting ready to totally give up in despair and not promote candidates in the midterms or bother to vote.
Guess I’m back in it now.

Is there a tiny chance these are “push polls” with suspect sample group members and all intended to influence conservatives to give up? Thought so.

100000 percent BULL SH*T..this is what the left does, they know they wont win in November, so they create a phony baloney poll to make Trump voters feel disheartened..go by this logic, if the left were SO convinced they would win in November, would they have pulled the BS they did at the Kavanaugh confirmation hearing today..they know they are toast

Heh. House races, even LESS than the Presidency, are not determined by national popular vote of all registered voters. But only by those who vote properly in their district on election day...

I do not believe this for one minute.

Nevertheless, pretend that it's true and evangelize for Rs and get involved. Be a block captain. Hand out flyers at the supermarket. Assume that you are in the fight for your very life and that of your family.

Because it's true.

Oh you troll, it’s not BREAKING NEWS. It’s a WaPo poll. How is THIS poll more accurate and news worthy over other polls?

Oh yea it lets you trolls post it a 1000 times on FR.

I mentioned this in a previous thread concerning this (very likely) bogus poll that really portrays a very serious disconnect between the news media and voters at the grassroots level:

One important barometer is the “Heading in the Right Direction” and at the latest, it is at minus -9, with 43% saying in the right direction versus 52% saying in wrong.

At this point in 2010 (Aug 23-29, 2010), it was a gap of -35, with 29% saying in right direction versus 64% saying in wrong (when Obama lost Congress later that November).

Further historical reference:

2012-(period of Aug 27-Sept 2)-gap was -31%, with 31 percent saying in right direction versus 62 percent saying in wrong (Obama kept White House and Dems kept Senate, but failed to get Congress back).

2014 (Aug 25-Aug 31)-gap was at -41%, with 25 percent saying in right direction versus 66 percent saying in wrong direction. About two months later for his last midterm elections, Obama and Democrats still fail to win back Congress and also lose control of Senate.

2016 (Aug 28-Sept 1)-gap was at -37%, with 28 percent saying country headed in right direction versus 65 percent saying headed in wrong direction. Hillary Clinton loses White House and Dems fail to recapture either Congress or Senate.

Basically, the media and a President that they showered with constant adulation and admiration could not connect with many, many voters to show the positive effect of his policies and as a result, Obama was in many instances rejected by such voters. On the other hand, the current President is being subject to endless criticism and negative portrayal, yet many of these voters are likely seeing through the media’s behaviour in many instances and see the benefits and successes of his policies.

Push polling. Grab an outcome out of thin air, then go out and set the questions and select the sample to get the desired numbers.

For those of us who are interested in REAL results, keep hammering on the real but so far concealed agenda of the Democrats.

1. Impeach Trump
2. Roll back all the tax cuts
3. Disarm ICE
4. Ram through total amnesty of all undocumented aliens
5. Make housing, college, and food supplies “free” for the “poor”

Hillary was up 90-10 at this point in the campaign. Echo chamber polls do the really work. With that said, get everyone, their mother and the horse they rode up on to vote!
