There are going to be surprises Election Day....
How tall will the Republican wave be tomorrow? Two leading political analysts for Gallup have gone through the House races and drawn up what they call the most pessimistic scenario for the GOP. Even so, Republicans end up taking 38 net House seats from Democrats, putting them one seat short of control. Their most optimistic scenario for Republicans is a GOP gain of 90 seats.
Impossible? Seasoned Washingtonians don't think so. For 60 years, Gallup has released an amazingly accurate final pre-election poll showing which party is favored by "likely voters." It has never been in error by more than two percentage points. Last night, Gallup's final survey found Republicans with a 15-point advantage, 55% to 40%.
Gallup analysts Jeffrey Jones and Lydia Saad conclude their pre-election analysis this way: "This year's 15-point gap in favor of the Republican candidates among likely voters is unprecedented in Gallup polling and could result in the largest Republican margin in House voting in several generations. This means that seat projections have moved into uncharted territory, in which past relationships between the national two-party vote and the number of seats won may not be maintained."

To all Democratic staff personnel, polish up those resumes kids.
They can’t duck and cover from the Tea Party bomb about to explode on their heads. They are going to go under in another 3 elections if we have anything to do with it. Can anyone says Whigs?
Prayers up for tomorrow. We actually stand a chance to bounce the obama clone steve cohen in Memphis, TN...he has already closed his campaign HQ, while Ms. Bergmann is still out pounding the pavement. Her interview on AM 600 went well tonight.
BHO will have much less power after tomorrow. :-)
A little surprised that the low end still has us coming up short.
Okay, I'm a little bit slower than regular folks, but explain to me why, after the dems sold us down the river - with fanfare no less - are not stuck in single digits.
We’re coming for you!
In the last paragraph of the above article it says that interviews were conducted with 10 Dem pollsters who came to the conclusion that those dems that are tied will lose tomorrow and those that are just a few points ahead will also lose due to the wave.
It’s been a long 2 years — actually 4 years since he started campaigning in 2006. Can’t wait for him to go to India for a month so we can all have a break.
Those who benefit, however short term, from the socialism, vote Dem.
Those to whom abortion is a sacrament vote Dem.
Those who are fixated on their personal sexual perversion vote Dem.
I guess that totals about 40%.
I dont think we will get 90. 60-80 is probably right.,
I’m going with 117.
If you knew a liberal you would know why
I am predicting over a 100 seat pickup. There are a lot of House races not on the national radar. For example, Massachusetts alone may have 4-6 of its 10 seats go to the GOP and nobody at the national level seems to be seeing it.
MA-10, almost certainly. Frank’s seat, maybe. Probably no others IMHO.
There job is to report, as accurately as possible, what is going on not to offer Democrats advice.
If one or more of their employees want to do that job then they need to leave Gallup and go independent.
Then, they could purchase the raw data and make their own conclusions and then sell it to the progressive/liberal/socialist/dimocrat/RINO of their choice.
Gallup, another institution that has become a tainted business because they became part of the democratic cabal.
