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.

The left’s 24/7 hysteria has worn down so many people. I think it turned a lot of moderates away.

Knew a month ago the so-called ‘blue wave’ would be a ‘blue puddle’.

The Republicans now LEAD the generic ballot poll

DO NOT fall for this...the Republicans and all Conservatives must work hard to keep the Congress and ad to the Senate. Nothing would please the Deep State more than to have our guard down...if the left wins in November, you can kiss the Constitution and freedom as we know it goodby. Comey, Clapper, Brennan, Hillary would be home free and we citizens would be:______fill in the blank.

I was looking at the demographics yesterday, trying to figure out who was moved. What moved them?

The D's lost with every demographic, but not by much. In some cases (such as with blacks) the R's also dropped.

Then I found it. It was Hispanics. They not only left the D camp in droves, but gave the R's a HUGE six point jump.

So what happened last week? The media lying about Trump's ‘animals’ comment. Then the tap dancing, trying to tie MS13 in with all immigrants. Pelosi defending MS13.

I have Hispanic friends and family. They DESPISE the cartels.

That whole incident seriously pissed off this block of voters.

Enough to keep them pissed off through the midterms? Maybe. At the very least, I'll bet it's discouraged a lot of formally reliable D's from voting for their party in November. I doubt that it's enough to motivate this group to take a walk down the road and actually pull the lever for R - but it might be enough to tip the scales.

The BEST thing that could happen for us is for the media to keep doing exactly what they're doing. Keep blindly swinging at the ‘Trump is a racist’ effigy. It's so obvious that it's insulting to their audience.

I am going to say this is in part the Kanye effect which is beginning to panic in Democrat circles. Then there was that caller on Rush the other day who saw the light while in prison. Then there are the Candace Owens on social media.. all of this is starting to take effect. Splitting the black vote could end up becoming one of Trump’s most underreported achievements.

Initially I was skeptical, but after thinking about it, there may be some validity. Rats and there enablers have been spreading the word the last few weeks to get back to economic / social issues and not Russia / Trump / Russia!! I think their internal polling is showing that.

I would like to think this is because more people have become aware of the fact that the Democrats did their level best to destroy our democracy, but it probably has more to do with the economy.
