CNN Poll: Democratic advantage grows in race for Congress
CNN ^ | August 15, 2018 | Grace Sparks

(CNN) Democrats now lead Republicans by 52% to 41% in a nationwide generic Congressional ballot according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS and released Tuesday. The blue lead has increased slightly from eight percentage points in June of this year to an 11 percentage point difference in the most recent poll.

Despite Democrats' advantage on that measure, a plurality (48%) in the same poll believe Republicans will maintain control of Congress after the election, compared with 40% who believe Democrats will gain control. Among those who favor the Democratic candidate in their district, 64% say they think Democrats will ultimately win control of Congress, while among those backing Republican candidates, 83% think the GOP will maintain control.

Compared to previous elections, 68% of registered voters say they're more enthusiastic to vote in this election than in the past. Registered Democrats and Republicans report being more excited to vote at similar levels, with 70% and 68% saying so, respectively. However, Democrats have taken a much higher leap in enthusiasm vs. 2016 than Republicans. When CNN last asked the question, in September 2016, only 38% of Democrats said they were "more enthusiastic," while 48% of Republicans said the same. Registered Democrats jumped 32-points since 2016 and Republicans moved 20-points.

They say the same thing in every election, even Reagan’s.

All to manipulate those who don’t follow the “real” news all that carefully. It will help the DEMs, who are playing every angle to get out every DEM vote (or suppress as much GOP vote as possible). Bogus polls, Antifa violence, race card, sex card, Islamophobe card, Trump said the “N” word, “recession is around the corner”, “the tax cuts are crumbs”, “Trump is mentally deranged and unstable”, ...

I’m not all that excited either but I am less excited about the ‘Rats running the House. Then it will be nothing but impeachment, 24 hrs. a day, seven days a week. And I’m really not excited about Cummings running the House Oversight Committee, or Nadler running the Judiciary Committee, and a host of other potential ‘Rat chairmen.

August polling is always fun—add CNN to it and it is time to get out the clown suits.

CNN polls are extremely accurate. They predicted the outcome of the presidential election in 2016.

What!?

That is why the US Senate race in Missouri is a DEAD HEAT between an incumbent Democrat and a Republican. (/sarcasm off)

Then the Democratic voters can all stay home that day and sleep-in since they’re not needed. Brilliant!

Normally, yes. But remember, the Dems are very adept at getting over “90%”of them to the polls...

Fake polls, from fake news CNN.

REALITY:

IBD/TIPP has the generic ballot all tied up

http://209.157.64.200/focus/f-chat/3677691/posts

IBD/TIPP was one of the most accurate pollsters for president in 2016. It’s impossible for the race to be tied on the one hand, and at the same time have the Republicans behind by 11.

As proved by all the primary races the libtard RATS have been winning.

Are they up 25 points?

Why aren’t they up 50 points?

I don’t doubt that CNN ran the story as reported here, but this survey goes against 100% of the recent surveys on the Congressional races this fall - and it goes against the all of the recent primaries as well. Trump-endorsed candidates have been wiping out their opponents in each race.

AMF Angela, your one-way ticket and your mud hut with dirt floor await you in far off Africa. America is great, has always been great, and it will be greater once you’ve departed our shores for good! Decent Black people need to understand that President Trump is creating a red tide that’s “raising all the boats!” If America isn’t great for you, blame the real culprits, The DemoRAT Party ( aka your “Plantation Owners”), and your own stupidity for not taking advantage of the opportunities that exist today here.
