Reuters tilts left, but they are highly transparent: Earlier this month, after an initial collapse of the gap between the two parties, Reuters suppressed the news story, but still showed the raw data.

They don't smooth data, apply "Zogby sauce," or cover up weird data inputs, so their data bounces the way that real data has a sizable margin of error; The bounce MAY not be this huge; there COULD be some statistical fluke involved. But there is definitely a huge bounce, and a longer trend.

The blue wave is dead.

If this holds up by November, the GOP will gain seats in both the House and the Senate.

We have five months to go.

No way do election polls swing like that. People don't suddenly veer from Democrat to Republican (or vice versa) from one day to the next.

The lines have been drawn. We have Trump supporters and we have Trump haters in nearly equal amounts - with very little in between.

The key will be turnout. Will the Trump supporters be more motivated to turnout or will the Trump haters be more motivated?

Trump supporters cannot afford to sit on their hands on Election Day.

Reuters is no friend of the GOP so it’s interesting that they’d release this poll.

and we’ve barely even started with the investigation of Obama’s illegal election interference, which should help drag down the Democrat brand even more

no leader, no policies, and many skeletons are about to fall out of the closet ... Democrats 2018

Psyops.

The controlled media learned their lesson when they all but guaranteed a Hillary victory.

Now they intend to fire up their voters by making them into the underdogs.

Trust no polls. Polls are noise.

No, not really

I think a lot of people support Trump and are afraid to say so.

Election day proved that

We had fence sitters who liked Trump but wouldn’t vote because they believed the liberal media that he would be a bad president and get us all nuked. That did not happen

Trump’s support is gaining and growing.

That blue wave will turn into a yellow puddle, I called it.

Democrats are not bringing ANY ideas, other then they really just hate Trump, this is 2002 repeat and 2020 will be 2004 repeat. They will pick their 2020 John Kerry (heck it could even be John Kerry) and lose 2020 as well.

Could you imagine if Obama brought home the three hostages from North Korea? They (the DNC Media) would have 24/7 coverage, fawning support and parades for the next three months.

I think Americans are seeing through the BS. Day by day, more of us wake up.

Let’s hope the reluctant Trump voters of 2016 are now fully onboard and will vote in the mid-terms. Think about how effective Trump will be with a Congress that is behind him.

When the other side has NOTHING to sell to ordinary Americans but Me-too and let the smart people figure out if you get to have a job or not, then this is inevitable.
