Reliable GOP pollster John McLaughlin just announced that he is releasing new polling data that has the Dems only up by 2 pats over the GOP using a national sample of 1000 voters, and he has Trump up to 48% approval, the same as Rasmussen and the NBC/Wall Street Journal Poll.

Gop will take the House.
As usual the polls are completely wrong.
Wonder what Tips has to say?
D+2 on a national generic ballot of registered voters.
Pathetic, some wave alright.
GOP peaking at the right time.
Wrong link? No information about the poll at that link.

Apparently this was something said by Hannity on his show. So who knows when or where the poll will be.
Some Competitive Races Have Little To No Polling. That’s A Problem.
They haven't been any new polls on some of the most important toss up races, such as:
California 45th District - Walters vs. Porter
for over a month. It's like they don't want to telegraph any bad news for the Dems.
The article above provides them with an excuse as to why the Dems didn't take the house (if that happens). Using their own public polls I estimate that we are 4-5 seats from retaining the majority and there are 10 open seats that are “toss up” by their own numbers.
Ohhhhh. I have to remember that line. Good one.
Voters are fickle and we all know the party in the White House loses seats in the mid term election except for two times - in 2002 (after 9-11 - that is unique and makes sense) and in 1998 - I think the Dems gained 5 seats, which shocked the republicans and they forced Gingrich out of the Speakership. They believe it was backlash against the pubs threat to impeach Clinton, which they did anyway. That was the first time since 1934 the party in the White House picked up seats in a midterm election.
So the party in power almost always loses seats, but it is apparent that the Kavanaugh hearings changed the dynamics of many races. As you know, there are many factors that affect races.
In Virginia, Comstock is a goner. That has kind of been known since the day after the presidential election and Dave Bratt is a bit shaky due to an avalanche of the dems ads.
In 2010, Obama's favorability rating in Rasmussen was 50% on election morning and the dems still lost a huge 63 seats. Republicans showed up and Obama's voters did not.
It really is a big issue with these people and it is a hurdle for them to get over. They are sincere people but really do miss the big picture. They really do. Some will listen to reason, but others are upset and stay upset.
On the other hand, this is northern Virginia, so I'm not certain this hurts Trump much in this corner of the state since it is so heavily democratic. One out of four votes in the state come from Northern Virginia and Trump is way down the charts here. I believe Trump got only 23% of the vote in Fairfax County in the general election - a percentage that still boggles my mind. Clinton won Virginia by about 250,000 votes - it wasn't even close.
He is probably at 60%, so don’t get upset. The polls are underrating his popularity.
Yes, and add seats in the Senate.
So, basically, they are symbolism over substance... IOW, low IQ dimwits
“Mostly women” - not surprised. Just one more argument as to why women should never have been given the right to vote.
Who wrote the headline for Hannity?
More NeverTrump claptrap
Millions of freaks voted for the destructive sociopathic vile uncouth gaffe loaded purple lipped rat eared dog eating anti American racist Muslim doper twice who couldn’t hold Trumps jock strap
Now we have to worry about a few elitists who cluck their tongues and waver like an unsteady dowager in search of a fainting couch
Trumps approval is well above 60%... just because the MSM doesn’t report it, doesn’t make it not.
A 1,000... nation wide? Man, that really, really can be swung by your selected pool.
Typically this is a function of the result being reported:
If you like the result, the pollster is reliable, a veritable icon of the polling profession.
If you don't like the result, the pollster is a charlatan and should be drummed out of the profession forthwith.
“D+2 on a national generic ballot of registered voters.
Pathetic, some wave alright.”
Far, far worse for the Rats as in order to have a chance at winning the House, they need to be at +7 on the national generic ballot.
Oh noes. :)
Yeah, the pills weren’t helping me
much either. Couldn’t even get close
to reality.
Back on topic;
polls are only as good, accurate, or
honest, as those that conduct them.
I view them with a grain of salt.
Obama with all the ass kissing and covering the media did was never close to 60%.
