Republicans may be poised for strong midterm gains, according to a new poll conducted for NBC News and the Wall Street Journal.
Republicans hold a two-point lead nationwide on which party registered voters want to see in control of Congress. That lead expands to 10 points in Senate battleground states at 50 to 40 percent in the poll, conducted by Democratic polling firm Hart Research and Republican pollster Public Opinion Strategies. "With 56 days until Election Day, our poll provides greater insight into what is likely to happen, and the news is not good for the Democrats," Democratic pollster Fred Yang writes in an accompanying memo.
President Obama is a huge drag on the party his approval rating is down to 40 percent with 54 percent disapproving, tied for the lowest number the poll has found in his presidency.
There's also been a major shift on immigration in the last few months, according to the poll, which helps explain why Republicans have been attacking Senate Democrats for supporting "amnesty" in a number of Senate races.
Public approval for giving illegal immigrants a pathway to citizenship has narrowed to 53 to 45 percent, down from 64 to 35 percent support in April.
The live-caller poll of 1,000 registered voters, including 35 percent who only have a cellphone, was conducted from Sept. 3 to 7 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percent.
And if we let another Dim in the WH, the damage will become permanent.
The GOP "strategists" are trying to calm the waters of the wave by ignoring a lot of truths that need to be sung from the mountain tops - all part of the kinder and gentler way to screw the base by playing nice with the enemy.
And if we let another Dim in the WH, the damage will become permanent.
I know, I would never advocate voting for a socialist/communist, however, if as another posted stated that we hope that Republicans don’t take away the wrong message, then in 2016 we might have a tyrant/fascist in the WH. Whatever comes after Obama (in his political line) will be much worse than Obama. Just like I thought that whatever was to come after Bill Clinton would be much worse than that sorry excuse for a president.
Did anyone notice that MI is even? That came out of nowhere.
Pre vent defense.
“wave” = 8+
How much of this has happened because of all the illnesses illegals have brought here?
“How could that be? Could he be lying?”
Since when did the WaPost folks tell the truth?
I can see November from my house.
I can see November from the Precinct where I will be the Presiding Judge.
Working as a poll worker is a great way to give back, and there is always a shortage of poll workers. Looking forward to yet again serving what I for me see as a civic responsibility.
