Democratic candidates lead by 15 points in a hypothetical matchup for the 2018 midterm elections, according to a new Fox News poll.
In the survey, 50 percent of respondents said that if the election for Congress were held today, they would vote for the Democratic candidate. Only 35 percent said they would vote for a Republican.
About a year ago, the same question showed voters evenly split, with 45 percent saying they would vote for a Democrat, and 45 percent saying they would vote Republican.

Losing the House could be terminal to the Trump presidency.

kidding, right?

Is this the same polling organization that said Alabama Senate between Moore and Jones is a tie?
Ok.....because the polls have been so accurate lately
Not sure what you mean.
If you think handing the gavel to Pelosi and all the committee chairs to a bunch of leftists isnt a problem, not sure what I can say to you.
This is a disaster! The GOP needs to immediately offer amnesty to all illegals, open the borders, and hope that the incoming hoards all learn about the Constitution, the free market, and property rights! It’s the only way.
If conservatives are not able to get the message of the deep dirt of the leftist politicians and their henchmen in the government the country is done.
the only way that would be done is by large ad buys, and for trump to fire all of the current government employees at all levels. Particularly the ones who are in FBI CIA and white house as well as other agencies and Obama supported top military .
This would lead to a dialog.
He will also need an army of protection since I am not sure that the SS is safe for him.
If the election was next week I might care, but since not one primary has even taken place and the election is over a year away, I don’t. As any (truthful) political pundit will tell you, polls only begin to matter in the last couple weeks before an election, any farther out and they are just sampling noise....
Bull.
All polls said Trump would lose. It’s just more MSM lying. They’re trying to get Congress to “stand up” to Trump instead of adopting tax reform... building a wall...
If you can convince your enemies to commit political suicide, you win without ever winning an election. Dems have done that for decades now.
And the Fox News polls, like almost every other one, also had Trump losing.
It seems that Fox sold out quite some time ago. More fake news/propaganda fir the deep state/globalists. Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear.
TRUMP supporters will be out in full force even if Congress is useless!
They know TRUMP needs Congress to Govern & not be a lameduck
This is a BS poll and this thread was posted yesterday already. I made some informed comments about Fox ownership and polling methods.
It is BS and the sky is not falling.
If the Never Trumpers and associated fake conservatives wish to stay home and throw the House to “Pelosi” there isn’t much we can do about it. The Dems will be motivated in 2018. It remains to be seen if the Surrender Party will.
Barbara Streisand.
You are correct.
This is all the fault of the GOPE and I believe they would like to see the Repubs loose both houses just to spite Trump.
They are so consumed with hate for Trump that they would gladly give up power just to thwart him.
The poll was conducted by phone from Oct. 22-24 among 1,005 “registered” voters.
It’s just more push polling so they can have something to talk about today. If Fox says the rats are ahead by 15 it really means they are only ahead by 3 points. They don’t bother to mention where the callers live or what time of day the phone call was made.
This may as well have been a worthless internet poll.
It's not.
"About a year ago, the same question showed voters evenly split, with 45 percent saying they would vote for a Democrat, and 45 percent saying they would vote Republican."
About a year ago, Hillary was a shoo-in to be president. This is what SHE tweeted exactly one year ago today:
Following Scott Adams' timeline, we're barely into Phase III of the Trump Nation. We've gone through the "Trump is Hitler" phase, we're phasing through "Trump is Incompetent" and we're entering the "Trump Is Effective, But I Don't Like What He's Doing" phase.
Patience! The midterms are over a year off. No need to panic.
Seems that these polls continue to work their “magic” for some people, making them believe the sky is falling. Unreal. Boy that cried wolf. Next up...Dick Morris gives us the REAL skinny! ~sarc
