Debbie Downers like you should be permanently banned.

If we get enough negativity from fake news and the Democrats.

We don’t need it from Freepers.

Rasmussen was spot on with their polling just behind IBD/TIPP——Now Rasmussen in showing +1 for the GOP and IBD is showing +9 for the Dems. I really hope Rasmussen is correct because Dems need at least +6 to make gains. Heck, even if Rasmussen is off a few percentage points it would still be good.

I must say, I am absolutely horrible at predictions probably why my stomach is in a knot again today. Please God, let the red wave engulf these radicals.

Huh. I don’t see anyone named “Generic” on my ballot.

Is FR supposed to be a safe space now? Good Lord. If the polls show us down, they show us down. We can handle it like adults. There is a reality we could lose tomorrow. That’s the truth. Could we win? Sure we could. No one knows for sure, but to ignore one possibility is stupid especially when this is the poll FReepers trusted most in 2016.

Anyone who would be affected by the removal of birthright citizenship are not Trump voters to begin with.

It is a critical element in the Illegalism crisis.

****This is the poll that showed Trump winning. I’d take it less seriously if you told me it was the WaPo poll.*****

Rasmussen was spot on as well in 2016 Presidential poll in total votes, not electoral college. However, this is not Presidential poll and election this is a “regional/areal” election with no real poll. However, a poll based on being “energized” across the board would be more accurate.

No one know the turn out but this election and the next are the two most important in generations. This is the battle, the next is the war-—we need to win the battle to stay in the war.

“The POLITICO/Morning Consult poll was conducted in between those two surveys [WaPo/ABC and NBC/WSJ], from Oct. 30-Nov. 2. Democrats’ 3-point lead among all registered voters is down from an 8-point lead in the previous poll, which was conducted Oct. 25-30.”

They were putting this same BS out on the eve of the 2016 election. This is nothing more than another effort to convince conservatives to stay home ... it’s over.

Yeah, but a poll of adults not likely voters? That makes a huge difference.

CBN (Christian Broadcasting Network) just had a pollster on there (don’t remember his name) who said the same as your prediction.

He thinks the Repubs will gain at least 7 Senate seats (it may have been more) and the Dems will gain only 11 Congressional seats (not enough to give the Dems a majority).

Was good to hear from this pro-conservative pollster.

But of course nothing is guaranteed and we all need to be CERTAIN we vote and each take at least one other conservative voter to the polls.

Millions of comfortable, suburb-dwelling white women who would not be affected at all could be turned off. That said, truth is truth, regardless, and Trump is speaking truth on the issue.

We'll see what happens. Some others have noted that the enthusiasm swing seems to be against us here on the final stretch -- that has been my gut feeling as well since late last week. My gut is not valid election forecast and God willing I'm entirely wrong.

Vote and pray. Make sure your conservative friends, family and neighbors vote, and tell your lib friends that early voting for democrats has been extended to Wednesday this year. But brace yourself for a disappointing night.

My concern is with the “get out the vote”, “ground game” the dems have. Buses at colleges and churches willing to drive dem voters to the polls. Are there any numbers or is their any opinions from Freepers on the effectiveness of this?

It does not matter the raw numbers but where the numbers actually are. Clintoon won the popular vote last election and got crushed. In the urban centers expect the usual huge run up by dems. I can not a whit that in some districts in Pa they will amass 99 to 1 ratios. It is in the other areas where a 51 49 spread is enough to get in the GOP. Where it does matter though is in statewide gubernatorial elections and why I am worried about DeSantis in Fla.

The “generic ballot” question and ranking of issues by importance were asked of a subset of 798 adults deemed to be likely voters.

Generic Ballot is a POINTLESS question on midterms....

It can give you some limited insight, but tells you NOTHING about how the results will be... Just like PRESIDENTIAL APPROVAL ratings don’t tell you much either... .A general indicator but NOTHING solid.

Bush had a 68% approval rating at the 2002 midterms, and gained only 8 seats, and even after that R’s held fewer seats than the R’s do right now....

Obama and CLinton were both sitting at 46 and 47% and lost 50+ and 60+ seats respectively...

This are indicators, not predictors, at MOST.
