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.

I gave political surveys over the phone in the 90’s..
When someone hung up on me half way through the survey...i would finish the survey for them.
Was a slanted Democrat polling firm and i knew the answers they wanted. :)

Look at PA. Got the tax cut... got jobs from Trump's personal actions and guess what: Casey has a big lead. Folks get the money and the jobs and then think... okay... time to go home, back to the 'name recognition' dems. People are stupid. They deserve what they get... but they still drag us down with them.

I know someone from PA who thinks its cute that they have a singular illegal with a child in one of their schools... they feel they are being kind, so they are a better person for it. Do they think beyond their nose of places that are overrun? Hell no. Feeling better about themselves is all that matters, not crime or the financial cost on others. Selfish.

“Republicans are not angry...”

I’m not so sure about that.

After the way Judge Kavanaugh has been treated (mistreated), and after the mentally deranged left-wing teenage/collegiate ho Christine Blowsey has been worshiped, I would say there are millions of Republican TRump supporters who are seething with a white-hot rage. I happen to be one of them, and I would crawl over ten miles of broken glass buck naked to get to my polling place in November.

And what are the internals of this so-called poll? Did they over sample RATS like they usually do?

I don’t think Washington Republicans really care much at all whether or not Kavanaugh is confirmed or not. As long as they still get invited to the good parties.

I saw a poll this morning that said 75% of the respondents were happy with the economy. A D+12 preference therefore makes no sense.

I don’t know how accurate any poll is anymore.

What does "accuracy" have to do with polling? Polls that are shared with the public are designed to shape opinion, not measure it. The most accurate poll will be conducted November 6.

If Grassley and teh other spine;ess republicans on teh committee keep delaying the vote on Kavanuagh it could happen.The Repub are running scared. Democrats and the media tell Repub this is hurting you with women and Repub start crying and giving in. Here are some facts

HuffPost poll Sept 17-18 Is Ford Credible- Male 28%,Female 25%,Indep 19%,Repub 4% As more people denied being there the credible will go down All 4 people Ford claims were at the party have denied it even her best friend Leland Keyser

Repub are being played for fools. This whole Ford BS was planned per Ricki Seidman. Check out what she said. You would think that even the dumbest Repub would catch on after a while.Guess I was wrong.

They deliberately get these manipulated polls, so that they can be taken up by that goofy Real Clear Politics, and make it appear it a trend.

Ignore the polls and we will all feel less used.

The Lord God heard the prayers of His people and placed Trump in office; but if the President’s peace plan between God’s Chosen and their demonic enemy the Philistinians (are you kidding me) which Trump himself has said neither side will like “some” of the components of (Israel giving up more land, very likely) is what is driving the record-breaking, devastating floods and fires in our country and more on the horizon...
He should drop this plan immediately.

national polls for Congressional elections don’t mean squat ... CA, IL, NY, NJ alone can wildly skew results ... not to mention, only a couple dozen House races are really in play ... you might as well take a poll of all of North America just to be really thorough ...

Casey will win because Lou Barletta is invisible and running a Hillary style campaign. The GOP has no ground game and I’m seriously concerned there’s a lot of people resting on laurels and assuming junk polling requires no effort to be made.

I’ve been canvassed 4 times already by Democrats on behalf of Wolfe and Casey. Barletta doesn’t even have yard signs that I’ve seen.

We must be getting close to the election - the “Surrender Dorothy” polls are starting to fly fast and furious.
