NBC/WSJ pollster: Results show 'rebuke' of last two years

Republicans remain on course to make substantial midterm gains across the country and to win control of at least one chamber of Congress, according to the final NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll before Tuesday’s elections.

Nearly 50 percent of likely voters prefer a GOP-controlled Congress, which is virtually unchanged from the poll taken two weeks ago; a plurality of all registered voters say it would be a “good thing” if Republicans were in charge of both the U.S. House and U.S. Senate; and almost two-thirds — including about half of Democrats — want to see a significant amount of change in the way President Barack Obama has been leading the country.

This is from MSNBC. The tingle must have worn off.

Obama’s Katrina?

1894: comeback and comedown. In 1884 Grover Cleveland becomes the first Democrat elected president since Buchanan, and in 1892 he becomes the only president to win non-consecutive terms. But his second administration features a severe depression, a railroad strike and an army of jobless workers demonstrating in Washington for relief. In the 1894 midterms, the Democrats lose 116 seats in the House—the biggest wipeout on record—and 5 in the Senate. The result vitiates the party everywhere but in the Deep South and prepares the ground for the elections of Republicans William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt to the White House and the rise of the modern presidency.

They’re coming closer to the truth. If its really hurricane force, the Senate will also switch.

They’re dropping the push polling. The news just looks gloomy for the Democrats.

If the Gallup numbers are right....there is no way we dont get the SENATE

[libertarian27]

Will we heard the word “unexpectedly” on Tuesday night?

[4rcane]

anyone ready for the party?

[Ciexyz]

Fingers crossed.

[ChildOfThe60s]

Very soon it will be time for Republicans to put up or shut up.

They won’t have many more “at bats”.

[AD from SpringBay]

Time to dust off the shave-ice machine and get all wee-weed up.

Agreed. I’ve been looking at different scenarios using this site and I think we take the Senate too.

I’m recording all of MSNBC on election night just to enjoy their demise (It should be quite an enjoyable show for Conservatives). I sure hope I’m not disappointed though.

The only thing Obama has done with the Slurpee is raise the stock value for South Land's stock on the Slurpee.
I can see many on election night drinking s Slurpee in protest against Obama and the sweet victory.

[fortheDeclaration]

Amen!

[MNDude]

Hopefully this news depresses liberals too much to bother to vote thus lowering Thier voters even more.

Chrissy really will be peeing on himself this time, but I will not be watching anything from PMSNBC.
I don’t have a condom big enough for my TV.

Forget MSNBC....Gallup has 10....thats a gop house and senate.....plus 62 in house....which most likely would be up to Ben C in KY and below...maybe the Ds will panic and stay home...lets see if we can get it on up...

[Deagle]

Pure bunk! There is no way that this poll could be valid compared to the last several months. Way too many folks now understand that the Media and Democrats are in cahoots.

Let’s assume for a moment that it is correct, does that mean that one out of ten races now are going to the Democrats? Does that mean that only a few races will be saved?

Ok, if true, that means that Republicans will only win 58 seats in the House instead of 66 and only 8 Senate seats instead of the hoped for 10 seats. Love your optimism...heh.

I’ve got to clean out the popcorn machine for Tuesday night.
