Signs of a blue wave are increasing as lawmakers return to Washington for their final few weeks of legislative work before the crucial midterm elections.
Democrats have led Republicans by at least 11 points in five of the last six polls asking voters whether they favor a generic Democrat or a generic Republican in the race for Congress.
That margin only slightly trails the Democratic advantage in 2006, when the party won back control of Congress.
Democrats also enjoy a fundraising advantage, one that is perhaps bolstered by polls showing their party is more enthusiastic about turning out to vote this November, figures borne out by higher turnout in Democratic primary contests in states across the country.
After a brutal August that ended with the conviction of his former campaign chairman, a guilty plea from his former personal lawyer and a final feud with Sen. John McCain that played out during memorials to the late Arizona Republican, President Trump’s job approval rating has sunk to record or near-record lows in several polls.
Reputable surveys show his approval rating trading at the nadir of his traditional range, between 36 percent and 41 percent. More voters strongly disapprove of Trump than approve in total, a measure of how heavy an anchor he will be around the GOP candidate’s necks.

Elections are won based on how the Undecided/Independent voters decide to go.
The 30% or so of extreme Leftists will always vote Left. You could show them videos of child sacrifices and they’d still pull the lever.
But the Undecided voters just won’t feel comfortable voting in favor of corruption, looting, and treason. It’s not in their interest and they know it.
BS.
This will be the 6 wk stretch of outright ridiculous polls.
The media won’t start leaning towards the truth until about 3 wks before the election.
After the Inaccuracy of the last Presidential polls (96% probability of Clinton victory), how can this thread even exist? Buying a crystal ball on Ebay would increase the accuracy to at least 50-50. I’m not reading any poll threads.
Yeah right...a wave “bye-bye”.
We cannot allow this.
The other side did not allow the peaceful transition of power under our Constitution. They are working on a coup.
Why should we allow this travesty of vote fraud and entitlement addicts to take away our country in 2018 midterms?
Good guys in old movies let the bad guys get away with things and wouldn’t stoop to their crooked tactics. Funny and quaint and corny today. Get modern.
Fight them.
Well, we’ll see won’t we.
The defenders of the Constitution and the nation have had the course with these miscreants. We are not averse to destroying them by military means.
I think communism isn't really anti-capitalism. Communism's anti-capitalism rhetoric is a diversion. Communism and the lies it is built upon are anti-Christian.
Communism is just another form of Capitalism, where the State controls the Capital.
The letter after the name means jack any more. 2 words: Donald Dems. :-)
Trump folks...keep silent...these mornos have no idea what is going to happen on election day, November 6, 2018. All of us Trumpers will have smiles from ear to ear on our faces!!! Trumpers...all of you get out and vote on election day or before in early or absentee voting.

As the old saying goes – “the more things change, the more they stay the same” – so it seems with the predictions for President Trump’s failure now.

Reputable surveys = LOL
That may be exactly what happened to the dems in 2016.
I’m with you - I think there’s a great chance we keep the house...

I strongly urge the Democrats to pull out all the stops and give us the real picture of their party. Go, Go, Go!!
Now is when they need to do everything they can to influence those who are thing about/leaning towards #WALKAWAY.
IMHO, the #WALKAWAY conversions represent a much larger number than anyone predicts.
and thus based on a single phony ABC poll, the drumbeat begins ... I do believe they will be just as wrong as they were in 2016, though ...
