Despite the headlines about an eight-point advantage for Democrats in the generic congressional ballot, the detailed results of todays Washington Post/ABC News poll should make most Democratic Party leaders and their billionaire benefactors sweat.
First, the eight-point gap represents a five-point drop from the same poll just three weeks ago, when Democrats had a 13-point advantage. (Like most polls, the sample favors Democrats by six points among registered voters.)
But even more ominous for Democrats is how specific voting blocs responded. If Democrats are going to win control of the House, they need to pull votes from independent women and women in the suburbs, and support for the generic Democratic congressional candidate has dropped significantly among these two groups. Independent women now are split between Republicans and Democrats; this is a seismic shift from the results of its October poll, which gave Democrats a 33-point lead in this group. Further, Democratic women appear less likely to vote than Democratic men, Republican men, and Republican women.
Suburban women now favor a Democratic candidate by 11-points, a lead thats been cut in half since last month. Since many of the Republican toss-ups and lean Democratic seats are located in suburban areas, this could portend trouble for Democrats. At the same time, the GOP has made big gains among non-college white men and rural residents.
The top two issueshealth care and the economycut both ways for each party. Registered voters trust Democrats to handle health care, but trust Republicans to handle the economy. Voters prefer Republicans to handle taxes, while they prefer Democrats to handle immigration and global warming.

PERFECT!
As soon as you see NBC in a poll laugh. They are by far the least accurate polling group.
Oh, hi Mz. Pollster!
Im curious. What would it do to your numbers if 68 to 88% of ALL the people who hang up or wont take your poll, plan to vote Republican?
Have a nice day, and keep America great!
;-)
Tweeting bird tells me that AZ-01 might flip to GOP
@WendyRogersAZ
AND his 51% approval number..mediapukes lying FAKE NEWS!!! Btw, I know hundreds of Hispanics that LOVE TRUMP!!!!
Suburban women are not supposed to support Trump, because of his anti-immigrant rhetoric. Journalists still have not figured out why suburban women haven't figured out that they are supposed to be offended instead of feeling safer.
My question has to do with the poll results as generic. Isn’t that a national result that is probably weighted to increase the presumed respondents from NY and California as the largest states.
How does that national generic result tell us anything about the local results from a district in Tennessee or Iowa?
I’m hoping that the hidden vote of 2016 will arise again to slap down those pro-Dem pollsters and MSM.
And it is quite deliberate.
Listen to Don Lemon or that bigoted oriental woman from the New York Slimes for starters.
They're not even pretending to try to hide it anymore.
Gee, who would’ve thought REAGAN was colluding with the Russians to interfere with the election?
...and nitwit.
I hope it’s gut-wrenchingly PAINFUL for 0bama to know what a loser he is. Can’t even fill a QUARTER of a school gym these days!
Fraud! Thanks for all of the MESS you’ve left behind for the REST of us to clean up, ya POSER!
WHY doesn’t ANYONE see this? Look back through History! A Dem serves as President, and when the next Republican takes over, he spends all of his time undoing what the Leftist has done! Arrgghh!
