If AP says it, it must be so. I was motivated to vote, but I guess I just might as well stay home and not bother. /s

That is the purpose of skewed polls—they are political advertising.

This is a poll of randomly selected people — not registered voters and certainly not likely voters. Think of it what you will.

I guess that kid doesn’t remember the recession (internet bubble) Bush inherited and doesn’t realize the rats took over congress in 2007. They had to find a 23 y/o “warehouse worker” to get commentary that dumb.

Unemployment and inflation now equals good fiscal policy.

This poll is a joke.

“Poll: People want Democrats to retain control of Congress”

Don’t get discouraged folks!!! when was the last time we could believe the MSM? Just another brainwashing tool to make us think we can’t boot the thug regime in power.

Sounds like the people polled don’t realize that dhimmies have been in control of congress since 2006. Apparently we need to educate some people.

Discrete sampling most likely, hitting metro areas like NYC or LA (maybe even San Fran).

The question that is never answered..."WHAT PEOPLE?".

These reporters walk around their newsroom, or visit some DNC stronghold, get three people to agree on these skewed polls, and then feels justified in using the plural, "people", in a spin that insinuates majorities agree...it's all BS.

This Congress has the lowest approval rating in history, and have collaborated to nearly take down the United States financially, and they would have us believe we want them to stay in office?

Pulllleeeezzzzeeee.

It's like asking a home invader/looter to stay on as a house guest.

“When Clinton was in office, we were doing exceptionally well. Then Republicans got in office and we are where we are,” said Daniel Lowery, 23, a warehouse worker from Fostoria, Ohio, who wants Democrats to continue leading the House and Senate.

Genius alert!

Clinton was in office from 1993-2000.

The Republicans controlled Congress under Clinton from 1995-2000.

This 23 year old is a braindead moron.

LOL I'm 25 and had no skin in the game when Clinton was in office. I was a freshman in high school during his last year.

But if we are to use this logic and standard for age, I can say, "When Carter was in office, we got to where were and when Reagan took office, we began to do exceptionally well."

I don’t see the GOP taking the house. I see the Dems losing 30 seats. The Senate is a big maybe.
