This is bad. When Repubs won 60+ seats in 2010 they had a generic ballot lead of like 8-10 pts.

Losing the House could be terminal to the Trump presidency.

Is this the same polling organization that said Alabama Senate between Moore and Jones is a tie?

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.

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.

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.

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.

"if the election for Congress were held today"

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

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!

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”

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