GOP heading for midterm wipeout as Blue Wave scenario gives Democrats 12-point generic ballot lead
CNBC ^ | 10-22-2018 | John Harwood

Posted on 09/23/2018 8:47:37 AM PDT by tcrlaf

The new NBC News-Wall Street Journal survey, taken six weeks before Americans head to the polls, shows Democrats leading Republicans by 52 percent to 40 percent for control of Congress. If it holds, that 12 percentage point margin would suggest a "blue wave" large enough to switch control of not just the House but also the Senate.

NBC-WSJ is the least accurate poll next to Faux News.

They always get it consistently wrong.

Coming from John Harwood, assume half that deficit is a hope and a prayer (not that I suspect Harwood ever prays).

It better not be true. If this is true, we are finished as a country. With judges stopping trump at every turn, we’re almost finished already. Losing the house would be horrible and the senate debilitating.

Well Pennsylvania hasn’t helped. They will get 5 pick ups just in that state. All they need is 18 more somewhere in the country.

There are lies, damned lies, then there are polls and statistics.

I feel that loss of control of the House is a given, given history and NeverTrumpers in the GOPe.

The Senate too is unfortunately in play for the DemonRats. Their base is angry and motivated by TDS.

We do our selves a disservice by automatically dismissing unfavorable polls as junk or fake. The question is will the GOPe put up a fight to stay in power?

John Harwood is a POS. He was outed by Wikileaks in 2016 for being in bed with the Hillary campaign. He is to be ignored!

You can always point to people who are on their way out of the Republican Party. Christie Todd Whitman is going to follow Steve Schmidt, Colin Powell and the Eisenhowers out the door. Bill Kristol is going to hold the door for as many party-poopers as he can, while not actually going through it himself.

But I doubt Republicans in Congress want to lose. What a lot of them want is to get back to the private sector and make money. Chairmanships are term-limited, and Congressmen who've been chairs for years don't want to go back to being rank and file members, so they are opting out. Democrats are offering more moderate candidates in Republican seats that they think they can win, and some of them will win.

It would be a surprise if any Republicans in Congress are looking forward to turning power over to the Democrats with all the investigations and impeachment proceedings that a transfer of power would involve.

This should motivate everyone to get out and VOTE!

Don’t let the Dems take over. They would try to impeach president Trump and stop his agenda.

We absolutely need a Republican majority in Congress.

Get out the vote!

Yep, they all said Hillary would win - and win big.

Didn’t happen - the poll takers were liars and on the democrat team.
