Republican Mark Harris leads Democrat Dan McCready by five percentage points for North Carolina's 9th Congressional District, according to a new poll by the New York Times and Sienna College.
Harris was favored by 47 percent respondents while McCready was favored by 42 percent. Eleven percent of voters are undecided in the race for the seat, which stretches from Republican areas in south Charlotte and Union County to Fayetteville.
The seat is considered one of the Democrats' best opportunities to flip a seat held by the GOP. Harris narrowly defeated Robert Pittenger in the May primary...
This is the first public poll of the race since July when Survey USA showed McCready ahead by seven percentage points.

We know the Repub base is fired up. The Dem base was fired up but I’d wager there’s a bit of demoralization setting in...we may come out decent in the House and gain an extra seat or two in the Senate, than we planned/hoped for....demoralization is a lousy breakfast to dine on when one wakes up each morning...

Yeppers, now they must find NEW lies to feed their lesser demons, or they might start eating their own... :)
I really wish I were in that district and could vote for Harris. Instead I live in the district of Alma Adams - one of THE worst people in the entire US Congress IMO. I’ll show up and dutifully vote against her, but Charlotte has seen such an influx of Yankees that she’s assured of being re-elected. *Barf*
Cooked Political is probably closer to the truth.
Go to two other sources that appear, from my #s, to be very close: “Eutholythics” and www.statespoll.com
Right now I have the Ds getting a max of about 19, a minimum of 8.
Interesting that big lib John Covell only has Ds possibly getting a max of 26-—yes, that would flip the House-—but they would have to win every single tossup and lean state and lose no flips.
Gawd - if the libs can’t flip the House Trump is gonna strut like a rooster !!!
Over the next couple of years we also need to clean out ALL of Obama's judicial appointments, along with the party line benchwarming parasites of the Ninth Circus.
They concentrate on the high schools (as you noticed, the "non-partisan" NEA condemned Kavanaugh's confirmation), because they'll be voting in 2020, 2022, and 2024, and some few will be voting in 2018.
“It’s a pretty sour position to be in for the Democrats. Total rebuild from the ground up will be necessary.”
The Democratic Party does not need to be rebuilt. It needs to be kicked over. And may no party that takes its place use the word “democratic” in its name.
Yep - and they produce the mindless idiots who do the “repeat after me” mantras as a form of “protest”...while never having a clue about what they are being used for. Fox showed one lady asking if so many really agreed with Trump or if maybe he was using some sort of voo-doo-psychic power...the look on one of the questioners’ faces was great to behold as she wondered how this nut case got on her show, much less to be a dem mouthpiece.
Any numbers on the AZ Congressional race between R - Wendy Rogers and D - O’Halleran?
I recently received a PAC donation request email for Rogers.
TIA.
A Republican poll from Sep. 27-28 had Rogers (R) ahead 39-36%. Of course, that’s a huge (25)% of undecideds.

O’Halleran has $1.2 million at present, but Rogers hasn’t reported as of late, but was nowhere in that vicinity.
And, as I keep saying, I think $ in campaigning is way overrated.
A poll out a week ago had Rogers up 3.
My contact at AZ GOP added to that “ . . . and gaining,” so apparently it’s not an outlier.
Were that true, but I’ve found it an excellent indicator. You can’t run a serious campaign if you don’t have beaucoup $$. I told a FReeper, since passed away, Congressman Billybob (who was residing in the NC district then sending Heath Shuler), who did try to make a run, that he needed at least $1 million to be remotely competitive. Of course, he didn’t have a fraction of that, and his candidacy was snuffed aborning (and his life, sadly, not long after).
Good news. Hopefully :)
I’ll send her a few $$.
I think it's this: Television, as a media, is dying. So is newsprint. Billboards don't do crap. And on the internet, advertisements are often skipped or closed quickly.
Radio remains the only good captive media.
Money only buys grassroots people, which makes very little difference, or poorly-seen media.
