Democrats hold double-digit lead for 2018 midterm elections

Democrats enjoy a 10-point advantage over Republicans in congressional preference for the 2018 midterm elections, even as President Donald Trump's job approval rating has ticked up, the latest national NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds.

How is that different from what we did in 2010, with a larger victory by 0 in 2009?

[Crucial]

Wow. The FBI has probably never seen such numbers. If you were just to ask the man on the street, the FBI has never been more unpopular.

[Taxman]

We are about to find out if the Republicans have any balls!

[Republican Wildcat]

Republicans better get their act together and be sure to get out the vote to maintain a Republican majority in Congress.

*We* will have to get their act together because they probably won't do it themselves...and we need the talk radio circuit to actually mention the fact there are elections and actually talk about them. We would have won that House race if they had as it would have taken just a handful more people turning up at the polls. That loss is promoting donors to close up their wallets.

There are elements within the GOP who want their own party to go down in flames to create a narrative that President Trump has to go and bring momentum to the same. We need a landslide victory they neither want nor deserve to prevent that from occurring and indeed, send the very opposite message.

At least Trump has stopped waiting for Ryan and Turtle to end “nap time” with their blankets and pacifiers.

Sounds like they disproportionately sambled stupid people who didn’t even know who Mueller is.

They go big, we go bigger.

Oh no, no, no. I am CERTAIN that the networks and WSJ really, Really, REALLY do have their polling processes fixed after the last election.

It has been a year. I am certain they have their polling processes fixed and in tip-top shape now.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

I am certain they have their polling processes fixed and in tip-top shape now.

Yes, you can rest assured, everything is "fixed".

[redgolum]

The GOP wants to lose. Or rather, the goals of the party will be advanced by not working with Trump.

As one person who works in DC told me “Trump will be out one of these days, and we will remain. The Republicans had better remember that!”.

[redgolum]

No one really wants to talk about the problem. Because no one has any idea of what to do publicly.

[Biggirl]

Are you sure about that?

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

If that’s true, that they hold double digit leads, you can thank slime bags like McCain, McConnell, Rayn and other Democrap operatives posing as Republicans. I’ve said it many many many many times before: Democrats would NOT stand for Republican operatives working in their party at all, at all, at all, so WHY are we? All those guys should be banished because look what happens. Obamacare - not repealed and replaced, the wall not even one inch of it has been built, all these crooks, Hillary, Comey, still waltzing around scot free. Either this party moves forward or the Democrats will.

Only in their own warped minds.

[headstamp 2]

The GOP figures this is the only way to stop Trump now. Hand the Congress to Democrats.

I think this is all wishful thinking BS from the Lame Stream that was absolutely 100% certain that Hillary had it in the bag.
