Republicans lead Democrats by six points on the generic congressional ballot, according to the latest Trafalgar Group poll released Wednesday.

The poll found that of the 1,084 likely general election voters surveyed, 47.2 percent said they would vote for the generic Republican candidate. In contrast, only 41.4 percent of the respondents said they would vote for the generic Democrat.

grass roots — reach out locally, and make sure there are enough ballots

Not a big fan of Oz but I think that is what he has been doing all along.

Generic ballot favors generic, i.e. RINO, Republicans.

Even though I'm glad that a lot of RINOs got kicked the curb by MAGA candidates, and that this is best for the long run, it may not work to the advantage of the Pubbies in this election cycle.

Republicans lose mainly through inadequate turnout.

Oz may not be the preferred candidate, but as someone recently stated, it’s not a marriage... and hopefully Oz will have the chance to prove the naysayers wrong.

We should all be reviewing our local precinct/district turnouts. 40% of active voters is not enough. We should have 65%+ turnout especially with the early voting.

Bidet dropped 9 points with the announcement of “loan forgiveness”. But don’t worry, the Turtle and company will do something real stupid.

Imagine the advantage Republicans would have if they had a clear and positive agenda to motivate voters.

Everyone I know from the black delivery driver to the yuppies to the bartender is screaming about inflation and gas prices.

The wretched state of the economy and the unreality and corruption of the governing elite is cutting across racial and class divisions.

Yesterday I got a newspaper-like flyer in my mailbox pointing out how my Democrat governor is a fat hypocrite who sent his family to Florida while locking down the state and how schoolchildren (especially black kids) have fallen behind due to "remote" learning and closing the schools. Clever, well done and I hope effective.

Any bets on whether or not Biden declares war on half the country (i.e. conservatives)?

I hope you're right. I hope that stupid people vote stupidly for the Republicans just because they aren't Democrats.

If two of their brain cells accidentally bump into each other, they might have a thought like: Back Alley Abortions! or Those Racist Nazis! and vote Dem instead.

In 2010, Rasmussen had the GOP +6 in the generic poll, covering the period 8/23/2010-8/29/2010.

The GOP pickup in the House that November was 63 seats.

True. But now the districts are very direct on party affiliation. So there’s not 63 that could possibly change. As long as we get majority I don’t care.

But the MSM wants us to believe the donks are ahead because of ‘muh abortions!’

If Repubs are this far ahead, then it will be a bloodbath for Dems in swing states especially.

Hispanics shifting GOP. Watch to see if the margins close somewhat, even in deep bluerdistricts. If Hispanics shift GOP all over the country, then Democrats are toast.
