I knew it probably would not remain at +12. It will be interesting to see what other polls do this week. I thought it was good that the GOP is still close to 50%.

If these numbers are accurate and do hold, look for the Dems to lose anywhere between 75 and 100 seats this November.
To: Gen. Burkhalter
They need to lose at least 100 seats or more.
Insane that ALL the TV networks are out there fawning for Islam and the Victory mosque. ALL of American TV supports Islam now.

The likelihood of Republican victory is why it is so important to defeat the likes of John McCain in the primaries.
Jim DeMint is a hero.

Total Epic Fail.
August is usually a good polling month for dems as Republicans are usually on vacation. From looking at these numbers, its going to be a rough fall for them.

How did this big of a lead translate into seats won in previous off-year elections? 1994 for example.

Voters not affiliated with either party prefer the GOP candidate by a 48% to 25% margin.
Great news.

The Generic Ballot results were much different during the last two election cycles when Democrats regularly had large leads. When President Obama was inaugurated in January 2009, Democrats enjoyed a seven-point advantage. The two parties were very close through the spring of 2009, but in June, around the time Democrats began their campaign for health care reform, Republicans pulled ahead for good.

Not entirely sure. Ras was not polling then, so there is not a one-to-one correlation. Gallup was, and I believe showed a modest 3-5pt lead for the GOP in 1994. Gallup is showing almost twice that now.

The most important thing, imho, is often overlooked. With the GOP base energized by these polls and anxious to send a message, not only do they pick up lots of seats in the US House and some in the Senate, but they benefit all the way down the ticket to the state legislative senate and house races. We may see 38 GOP Governors and many legislative bodies flipped to GOP. This is supremely important this year especially since these bodies will be redrawing seat boundaries in response to the 2010 census. I know in TN, this will mean not only the US Congressional delegation will be more conservative in future elections, but all the state house and senate districts may be redrawn more favorably to the GOP.

If that hold true this year, the Dems are really up the creek without a paddle, or boat.

From this article:
Fifty-three percent (53%) of white voters favor the Republican, but 71% of African-Americans prefer the Democrat.
Is the Democrat support from African-Americans down?
