Post this over on DU and watch the fun!

[Mike Darancette]

If you a Democrat this cannot be good. The GOP rarely draws even on these polls.

[struggle]

Yet still skewing Democratic...could it be a big win for the Republicans?

I'm sure Iran et al will voice a collective, "Awwwww, s**t!" when a bunch of Repubs get in office this Novemeber.

[edpc]

They've already stuck their necks out, saying they'll take the house and possibly the Senate. While I don't believe either will take place, this will be a MAJOR repudiation of Leftist ideals when they once again come up short. If they can't make any headway in this media-generated, Dem-friendly, Republican-bashing environment, they never will.

[gridlock]

Just like the Democrats, to be winning the elections in May, only to lose them in November. This stuff never gets old, does it?

[goldstategop]

The picture is improving... and it'll get better when people begin paying attention to politics in the late fall. Ka-ching!

( No more Olmert! No more Kadima! No more Oslo!)

[Rhetorical pi2]

It's a morale boost for me to log on to Free Republic, and read the responses from so many of the people in here.

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.

Hope you are right. Otherwise I'll relapse into a funk in November...and beyond.

We CANNOT lose this election!

[HitmanLV]

If this is the case the GOP retains and adds some to their majorities. Good sign!

Apart from seeing that the USA is in better hands for a couple of more years, a GOP status quo election, or even a modest gain, will send the dems into a frenzy we haven't ever seen. If they can't win after the last year plus of GOP crap, they just can't win.

Since they have such strong self images and self esteem, they will meltdown like we have never seen before. Must-see TV!

[Brilliant]

Pathetic. How could we tie with such fools?

[fieldmarshaldj]

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

[Pukin Dog]

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?

[rwfromkansas]

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.

[AmericaUnited]

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.

[petercooper]

get ready for more pissed off libs

[Malesherbes]

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

[AmishDude]

That was quick.

The Dems were really clinging to the generic ballot numbers.

[Hannibal Hamlin]

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

[DrDeb]

Looking good for the Rs . . . The AP and NYT/CBS pollsters are doing their best to shape public opinion with biased reporting and skewed polling; HOWEVER, the closer we get to the actual election, the more VOTERS (vs 'adults') will 'name this game' and vote accordingly!


It's still going to be a tough 2 months -- the MSM/Democrats are going to use EVERY dirty trick in their arsenal this campaign cycle . . . 2004 will pale by comparision!

[no dems]

Thanks for the thread. I went to the National Journal link and looked over the entire poll. Very interesting.

This is what stuck out to me the most:

Only 28% of LIKELY VOTERS cosidered the Iraq War the #1 Issue facing America today. Out of that 28%, 22% opposed the war. So, only 22% of likely voters consider their opposition to the war the main topic determining how they vote.

I think that is good news.
