Fox News Poll: Dems +15 in generic ballot
The Hill ^ | October 25, 2017 | Avery Anapol

Posted on 10/26/2017 4:04:38 AM PDT by St. Louis Conservative

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.

Remember that even Republicans hate the so-called Republicans in Congress. It doesn’t mean that they will vote for freaking crazy Democrats or will stay home!

You are correct.

no he isn't.

polls are not meant to reflect voter preference, but to influence it.

so get a grip.

Polls in general are garbage in this day and age while generic polls, those with no name attached are even worse.

Something to keep an eye on, but always remember the following:


“The HuffPost presidential forecast model gives Democrat Hillary Clinton a 98.2 percent chance of winning the presidency. Republican Donald Trump has essentially no path to an Electoral College victory.”

“Florida, Nevada and North Carolina have leaned toward Clinton in the polling averages. The forecast in recent weeks, along with the strength of early voting numbers, makes it seem very likely that these will stay with her. All three states are more than 80-percent likely to swing Democratic”

“The HuffPost model still gives Bayh a sizable lead ? and an 88 percent chance of winning.”

“The Wisconsin race features a rematch between Sen. Ron Johnson (R) and former Sen. Russ Feingold (D). Johnson beat Feingold in the Republican wave of the 2010 midterm elections, but Feingold is likely to retake the seat. His lead has shrunk in recent weeks, but the Democrat is still leading by more than 4 points, giving Feingold a 98 percent chance of winning.”

Pennsylvania Democratic challenger Katie McGinty has steadily increased her polling lead on incumbent Sen. Pat Toomey . She’s 3 points or 4 points ahead of Toomey, and has a 97 percent chance of winning, according to HuffPost’s model. There are two other candidates in the race, though, and that could shift the race in one direction or the other. But this one is called for McGinty”

correct.

the only polls of significant value are the internals conducted by campaigns. they're expensive and valuable to both sides, so they're not released.

Great HuffPost quotes.

The next question to ask is _how_ they came up with those incorrect numbers.

If you don’t know the methodology a poll is worse than unreliable—it is dangerous disinformation.

And you believe these are accurate figures? How did Trump win with all the poling against him a year ago? But he did.

The final Fox presidential poll in 2016 had Clinton winning 48% to 44%. A Fox poll is to believed only at one’s peril.

It’s not hate, it is all about illegal immigration.

Too bad (for the Dems) the election is not for a year, and too bad the Dem candidate in Virginia is down 8 points (which should be an easy win for the Dems).

Tell Fox to get back to us after the trials begin regarding Uranium One and Golden Showers.

Just a word of caution, the fact Trump won and the polls were wrong does not mean republicans will always win. In fact republicans have tossed away any chance of receiving the same suport as Trump.

“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.”

Wouldn’t surprise me a bit if that were the purpose of the poll. Note the timing. Fox knows that a lot of BAD NEWS about the Dems is about to hit, so they wanted to get one last positive poll out regarding them.

I think many here don’t want to accept that when you ask about voting for Congress, many Trump supporters would rather pull out their nails than go out to vote for a republican.
