Here's the generic polling data you grok, sir. ;-)

Is it time yet for Pukin's "I told you so" list?

Now, huh, now? Is it time? Can I? Huh? Now? Huh? Can I?

I'm one of those "glass half empty" kind of guys, (My wife compares me to Eeyore, (the donkey on Winnie The Pooh.) - but reading the positive thinking here keeps me pumped up.

You realize, of course, that one of the primary objectives of the MSM is to erode conservative morale.

Sure, they trumpet the Dems and bash the GOP. Sure, they're trying to boost morale among the left. Sure, they're trying to recruit new voters from the uncommitted "moderates".

But the media's single most important function may well be the corrosive effect it has on the confidence of conservatives.

Which is to say, they want to play Eeyore.

Don't cooperate with them...

I must say, this is pretty compelling since the Dems have the edge in terms of those polled, yet they still can only tie the GOP here.

Very interesting turn of events lately.

I thought for sure we would not see any gains this year, perhaps losses.

We may at least break even at this point.

This poll is skewed to the 'RATs so it's really more like
45% GOP; 35% RAT. It's also not likely voters, but something like breathers willing to take a poll. Very unreliable, sad to say.

The fabled RAT Tsunami is going the way of the DoeDoe bird.

ROFLOL! I predict massive and unprecedented RAT depression on the days following the election.

we may see suicides.

I'd suggest all Freepers, who live/work in any city with tall buildings, not walk on the sidewalk till at least January. The bodies could be dropping like flies.

The question is...will it be a temporary GOP jump, or will it stay?

Only good campaigning will make this permanent. I have a feeling it could be a temporary blip based on the terror plot unless the GOP really takes advantage of this boost.

Also, keep in mind it is not likely voters.

It all depends on who is more likely to be a voter. Though normally the GOP, it could be an odd election with the Dems really being more likely to be the voters, depending on who is motivated.

I have been saying for months now that the Pubbies will come home before November and that this will wind up being a status quo election.

Worst case is we lose 2 - 3 Senate seats and a 8 - 10 House seats. That would obviously be bad, but I see no way the RATs take control of either chamber.

Hopefully the Allen fracas will die down so he can pick up support.

The Republicans don't deserve to win, but the Dims are so stinking awful that, in the end, the Dims will probably lose.

Ahhh, okay. I was wondering, because this is the first I've seen this poll. I had seen another within the MOE (GOP -2). Thanks.

That was quick.

The Dems were really clinging to the generic ballot numbers.

Rasmussen noted that the Dems began dropping in generic polls ever since Lamont's "victory".
