Among voters not affiliated with either major party, Republicans hold a 17-point lead. Cue the democrat flop sweat.

Even more worrisome for Democrats, however, is the finding that among the voters who are most closely following the midterm elections Republicans hold a 55% to 36% lead.
The bad news is that the zombie demographic is trending strongly Democrat. And everyone in Chicago knows that on Halloween the dead walk the Earth, and on the following Tuesday they vote Democrat.
But in all seriousness this is very good news. A 19 point spread among those most likely to vote is way more than fraud can make up for. And the GOP is definitely in broken glass mode this year. We just need to stay focused and get every last person out to the polls.

If it’s really that high, then that means that the GOP will pick up even more seats than the pundits are forecasting.

It is said that Obama has lost 25% of those who supported him in the last election.
The Democrat Party is facing one of the greatest electoral defeats in American history.
The arrogance which this administration and Congress governed over the last three years, like a third world nation, has angered the American People to an extent not seen in decades.

She (Blanche Lincoln (D-ARK) appears abandoned by voters, who have favored Mr. Boozman by double digits in nearly every poll in recent months. She has been forsaken by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which has essentially written off her race and apportioned almost no money to it, and she has been dismissed by pundits, handicappers and operatives who are focused instead on a cluster of tossup Senate races in states like Colorado, Illinois, Nevada and West Virginia that absolutely do not include this one.
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/17/us/politics/17lincoln.html
As with many incumbent Democrats, Mrs. Lincoln has been stung by association with the presidents agenda. She takes strenuous pains to distance herself from the White House, trumpet her centrist credentials and assert her independence from her Democratic colleagues.
Like pretty much every underdog politician in America, Mrs. Lincoln insists that she is going to win, that momentum is shifting toward her and that she hates polls.

"Republicans pick up 111 seats in the House and 12 in the Senate.I hope you are underestimating the victory because a really, really massive win will put the fear of the voters into both parties.

Republicans, with their commanding lead in the House, in which all appropriations bills must originate, are able to reduce the damage done by CommieCare by 40% through the funding mechanism. They are able to blunt the effects of another 15% by attaching riders to bills that contain liberal-backed measures that do permanent damage to education, the military, the justice system, and the social structure of our country. They are able to get another 5% reduction in CommieCare damage by the use of the speaker's chair as a bully pulpit.
Total CommieCare attenuation factor: ~60%. This leaves 40% of the onerous aspects of CommieCare in place, and this 40%, as it kicks in, throws millions of people out of their private plans, shuts down hundreds of hospitals nationwide, and results in hundreds of thousands of premature deaths among middle-class Americans, many of whom traditionally voted Republican.
Working with the media, Obama and the Democrats are able to sell the idea that the reason "health care reform" isn't working is because of the terrible changes the Republicans, working with "Big Pharma" and "The Hospital Lobby" have been able to "ram through" so as to "sacrifice the health of millions of Americans on the altar of profit." Too many average Americans believe it, and Obama sails to victory in 2012, with a smaller but still decisive majority in the House and Senate.
The State Run Media declares that "Obama's New Majority" have "A Mandate To Put It Back And Then Some," which was Majority Leader Elect Waxman's campaign slogan.

I don’t like your narrative, but I would be lying if I hadn’t thought it myself (or something like it). Strategery in this case cannot be misunderestimated.
