A top Democratic pollster is warning his party’s candidates not to buy into the GOP’s rosy messaging on the economy and tax cuts, arguing they need to spotlight the economic headwinds and rising health care costs their base voters still face heading into the midterm elections.
The advice stems from new polling provided exclusively to HuffPost from Women’s Voices Women Vote Action Fund, Greenberg Research, and Democracy Corps. The polls, conducted by phone and web panel, surveyed more than 3,000 registered voters in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Tennessee and Wisconsin – all states with contested governor and/or Senate races, as well as competitive House contests.
“Democrats must not be distracted by the macro-economic and jobs-report numbers” Republicans have been touting, pollster Stan Greenberg wrote in a memo, authored with Democracy Corps’ Nancy Zdunkewicz and Page Gardner, president of the Women Voices Women Vote group. “It is a mistake to accept that GOP narrative and attribute credit to [former] President [Barack] Obama or insist it’s despite [President Donald] Trump and Republicans.”
The memo added, “Voters, especially Democratic voters, are genuinely struggling in this economy. They remain in pain because rising costs outpace any pay increases.

“Pollster says”... so you may freely ignore everything in the article. More likely, the opposite is true. (Sadly, I’d be happier if this one was true, though.)
If you missed this good news poll of 250,000 people

“they need to spotlight the economic headwinds and rising health care costs their base voters still face”
Ha! The rising health care costs foisted upon Americans by these very same Democrats?? Yeah, by all means, be sure to remind voters of that one!
There was never any momentum.
All of this is figments of the imaginations of the Ministry of Propaganda.
They will use this story to try to whip up Democrat voters since the “wave” stories didn’t work.
If Trump can stay at 50 % or more in states he carried Great outlook. But, who will be first to show a Dem senate seat moving from Toss up to Tiilt GOP?
Yeah I guess Trump didn't raise welfare payouts. I have never met a welfare recipient that wasn't a Democrap.
“Pollster says”
They have no problem with the truth, if the truth happens to support their agenda.
Remember when pointing out how crappy the economy was during the Obama years was "talking down the economy"?
Them running on rising health care costs should be a hoot. And, currently, if they are sensing "economic headwinds", they're facing the wrong way.
“Ha! The rising health care costs foisted upon Americans by these very same Democrats?? Yeah, by all means, be sure to remind voters of that one!”
Yes, they own the ‘rising health care’ boondoggle. Hoping they do harp on it.
Prototypical of what motivates the Democratic base. Hysteria, hysteria, hysteria. Always hysteria.
It’s looking more and more like the Blue Wave is going to be a ripple.
The Russia interference with our elections thing is going to make it harder for the Rats to commit voter fraud.
More and more blacks and others are accepting and welcoming President Trump, the good economy, lower taxes, Korean peninsula denuclearization, Pelosi, Waters, etc etc is good for our side.
It all adds up to a Rat rejection. The key will be our getting out the vote.
The constant anti Trump hate has probably turned people away from them especially since none of their fear mongering has come true.
Nancy said she would be Speaker and she’ll be Speaker ,LOL
Bussing illegal voters from state to state takes time and money.
Their imaginary midterm momentum? Oh no! Heavens to Betsy! Thanks ChicagoConservative27.
Thankfully they will be too entangled in Trump Derangement for any other messages to get through.
“But, who will be first to show a Dem senate seat moving from Toss up to Tiilt GOP?”
That will happen the day before the Midterm Election. Or possibly the morning after when Joe and Mika and their entourage on the MSM are looking for upper story windows from which to jump.
“Fortune strums a mournful tune...
... for those whose campaigns peak too soon.”
10,000 gold stars if anyone can identify the reference.
