Further down is Rush's answer

"RUSH: So why would Axios publicize a poll showing how desolate it is for the Democrats out there? Why would they do that? Why would they publish a poll to depress the troops? I mean, the Axios/SurveyMonkey Bar poll is, “Forget it. No chance. The dream of the Democrats taking back control of the Senate is lost.” Why do this? Why do this now?

Well, it’s gotta be for a reason. Nothing happens on the left in a vacuum. There has to be a reason, beyond the fact that it’s just what the poll says. I think the poll, Axios, that’s part of the Politico — it’s Vox, it’s all part of this Millennial uptick mainstream media apparatus now. It’s not fringe, so I think that it’s meant to be a warning to the Democrats to not sacrifice Senate seats to beat Kavanaugh."

If you have the Rush Limbaugh app, you can follow the Doctor Of Democracy on your iPhone.

His website sucks on a mobile device.

[Axios Poll Telling Democrats They Can’t Win the Senate?]

It’s the signal for DEMOCRATS to get out the vote. Happens every election.

Watch for the propaganda machine to ratchet up going into November to get out the vote in a big way, while at the same time suppressing the Republican vote by creating complacency and overconfidence.

Of course, they still have the illegal vote, the dead vote, and the multiple vote to mitigate the damage.

Have you noticed there is no joy among Democrats? Only rage and hate? You never see Democrats smiling at their rallies. This is a sharp contrast with 2006, 2008 and 2012, when their rallies were joyful. The joy is all on the Republican side. And since joy always beats rage there will be no Blue Wave. And the Democrats know it.

Wow, five posts in and no one has yet chimed in to tell us the GOP has no chance in picking up seats in November. “Manchin in WV? A lock.” “Donnelly in IN? He’ll pull in out in Nov, no need to waste resources there.” “McCaskell in MO? Just wait, the GOP guy will shoot himself in the foot and she’ll win in a squeaker.” After reading a few threads here on FR, it seems we never have a chance of winning.

I think is why the Left is now ramping up the “Russians are meddling in this election too!” rhetoric.

Trying to delegitimise the election before they even lose it.

Relax Rush, there is nothing special going on.
In 2016 Survey Monkey, an on-line survey, missed the final margin Clinton had and Trump had. Survey Monkey missed Trump’s win saying he would get just 40% when he got 46.1% and Hillary Clinton would get 46% when she got 48.2% for an aggregate 8.3% MISS! They also missed the final results in SEVEN states which changed the result of the election. This steaming pile of dog crap talked to “registered voters.” They did the same in 2016 and guess what? They were wrong because WE either didn’t participate or WE lied to them. Did WE participate this time? You decide.
The Montana part of this “poll” says Tester has a 12-point lead! REALLY? That is amazing because in 2012 Tester won by 3.7% and Obama won Montana by 13.5%! Now that he has identified himself as an obstacle to Trump’s policies by voting against Trump’s Tax cuts, in a state Trump won by 21 points, Survey Monkey says Tester will do THREE TIMES as well? Trump won Montana by 21 points which was more than 7 points better than what Romney got so THIS adds up to a comfortable 12 point lead for Tester? REALLY? I don’t think so.

In West Virginia this “poll” says Manchin is up 13 points against a popular Republican in a state Trump won by 41.7 points. In West Virginia they could pull a name from a hat and beat Manchin. In his own Democrat primary Manchin couldn’t reach 70%. In 2012 Romney won West Virginia by 26.8%. In 2016 Trump won West Virginia by 41.7%. THIS adds up to Manchin being re-elected after also voting against Trump’s Tax Cuts? REALLY? This is a joke.
The Democrats will lose at least 11 seats and if things align just right maybe even New Jersey for a 12th loss as well.
As I said relax Rush, there is nothing special going on.

Every Leftist media organ faces the constant problem of having to reconcile their preferred audience to events turning against their propaganda line. As an ongoing business, the strategy for Axios likely includes that they aim to become known as a reliable predictor of elections. In telling the bad news early, Axios is trying to get ahead of the impending cascade of bad polling and election stories by telling their audience that the 2018 midterm elections are extremely unlikely to yield Senate control for the Dems.
