Three Major Generic Polls Show Momentum Shift Towards Republicans
Stop The ACLU ^ | 5-Nov-06 | John Stephenson

Posted on 11/05/2006 6:41:50 PM PST by Jay777

First there was the Washington Post/ABC News poll showing only a 6% lead for the dems! It was 14% in the last poll.

Next, the Pew Poll shows momentum towards Republicans.

Republicans were posting higher marks among likely voters on the question of which party should control the House, a shift one poll attributed to the GOP making gains among independent voters and party faithful becoming more engaged. The independent Pew Research Center found that Democrats now have a four-point edge over Republicans, narrower than the 11-point advantage two weeks ago.

And now AJ Strata sends word that the USA Today/ Gallup poll shows big momentum for Republicans as well.

Democratic advantage of 23 percentage points a month ago and 13 points two weeks ago is now down to 7. ... What’s shifted is the determination of Republicans to vote. The Democratic advantage among registered voters was 11 points, but Republican voters were more likely to be judged as sure to go to the polls, making the edge among likely voters smaller.

A month ago, the Democratic margin among registered and likely voters was identical.

It is now officially a trend. The advantage the Democrats felt so sure about is surely shrinking. Get motivated and Get Out The Vote!

My firm belief is that the democrat party media have been totally faking the polls from day one to demoralize and suppress republican votes.

The liberals smell trouble and I smell fear.

The liberals I'm running into on the net appear to be getting angrier by the hour.

This is simply the release of the real numbers, as opposed to the "cooked" polls aimed at depressing GOP turnout that they've been vomiting at us for weeks now.

All they're doing now is posting the true results so that they can claim credibility after Tuesday.

They've shilled all they could for the Dems. Now they're covering their own asses.

Peaking at the right moment. Maybe the news of Sadaam's imminent demise will halt the "blue wave" in its tracks.

The Democratic advantage among registered voters was 11 points

The actual number of Republican / Democrat registered voters should be known. How does this stat square with real life? Are they still oversampling Dems in these polls?

I don't think there's been that much movement in the polls. It's just that the pollsters are changing their turnout models so their final polls will be near the margin of error.

The "Blue Wave" hoopla was all smoke and mirrors from the start.

The way I see it, we get the elections, and ALSO the memory that the Lamestreams did their utmost to spread LIES. I mean, they did that WHILE their viewership was ALREADY plummeting.

So that's a superb reason to just trash your TV. And to encourage your friends to do likewise.
