The AP-Ipsos poll also suggests that Democratic voters are far more motivated than Republicans.

The "squeaky wheel" theory at work.....

They seemed more motivated and enthusiastic than the right in 2004, as well. Republicans never get out and protest to the extent of the left because we have jobs, families, and responsibilities. The more giddy the MSM gets over this, the more likely they are to be stunned (once again) at the results in November.

Disheartening news, for sure....but they're always wrong. Like the commercial says: Steely Dan is not one person and we don't get French benefits.

Yep, you nailed it...

I do not believe a single poll out there, they are all from leftist liars. Who trusts pmsMSNBC anyways?

Many of these polls are done during the working hours (9 am to 5 pm) while all of the shiftless and lazy welfare types are watching soap operas and the night-shift working people are asleep... or, in the evening hours while most responsible folks are busy with family or volunteer work and the lazy are on their fat rears watching stupid sit-coms.

What the Republicans and conservatives lack is vast numbers of the *disenfranchised* who can be mobilized as proxy street armies. Even with the throngs of minions available to the donks, the MSM mourns the small numbers who protest the war and the illegals are now cowering from the backlash of their moment in the sun. I think we have made ourselves heard to the party and the (R) critters/Senators. I hear bleats of "border security first" from the GOP Senators. The House pubbies, so far, appear to be holding fast. A lot of what we hear from W, IMO, is necessary in order that we not be further mischaracterized and marginalized as bigoted rednecks. The left wants to be able to run on "Republicans hate Latinos (fill in whatever victim group you wish)", but it seems to me to be falling flat. When push comes to shove, I believe most of the base will work for conservatives to replace RINOs in the primaries, but will vote against the donks in the General. The Bush-bashers and unappeasables will sit home or write in some conservative critter who will garner .01% of the vote, but they have done that for at least the past 6 years and it hasn't made any difference.

Every Republican voter I have queried is furious, but will not do anything to enable a donk takeover. I still have not seen a conservative win over a RINO in the primaries to date, although I may have missed some Congressional primaries.

Don't believe it for a nanosecond.

Remember the FNC Dynamics poll that also had Kery at OVER +5% win.

This is a push poll BLATENT.

The media is not reporting on immigration now that the backlash can't be denied.
