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.

sigh here we go again. More crap polls to push the Dems to get out their vote.

[VictoryGal]

> NBC , have they crawled out of Obama’s Butt yet ?

Nope and they just redecorated. :-)

[pgkdan]

Good. Maybe that will motivate stupid Republicans to go out and find decent candidates!

[pgkdan]

I wonder how popular the anti-Christ would have been in this poll.

Off the charts. Don't forget...these are the people who boo the mention of God.

Depends where in Massachusetts you live. Tedeschi & Green have outside shots to win their seats. Baker will carry their districts by large margins and he might have coattails.

[FredZarguna]

His comments are entirely correct. The GOP needs to get everyone on board, and our turnout numbers are going to have to be massive in November, or Trump will be irrelevant in the following two years.

Criticizing complacency in the party is not the same thing as bashing Trump or being "GOPe."

Democrats hold double-digit lead for 2018 midterm elections>>>>>>>>>>>>>

They held that in the 2016 Presidential election,,,,AND LOST!

Push polls no longer work, and the Dems are still at it? Let them continue to waste their scarce funds on them!

Poll uses a D+8 sample.

Also in the poll, the most popular political figures and institutions are the Federal Bureau of Investigation (48 percent positive, 20 percent negative), Planned Parenthood (52 percent positive, 25 percent negative)

Bogus polls like these are used for fundraising and to try and shape public opinion.

Dallas County was overrun by refugees from New Orleans, due to Katrina. County has been in dire straits ever since.

[joegoeny]

10 percent spread? That means we are neck & neck.

[The Pack Knight]

Is that like the "unnamed Democrat" who was supposed to mop the floor with Bush in 2004? Doesn't work out so well when you replace "unnamed Democrat" with John Kerry.

To win the House, they are going to need to pretty much sweep the 20 or so competitive districts.

To win the Senate, they need to hold all 26 seats (including the two independents who caucus with them) they have up, and pick up at least two of the 9 Republican seats.

10 of those Democrat seats they have to hold are in states Trump carried. Only one Republican seat is in a state Hillary carried.

How many of the people polled live in any of those states with live Senate races? How many live in competitive districts? How many care about "unnamed Democrat" and "unnamed Republican" when they have actual people to vote for?

Or how about this? How good are those Democrats trying to hold serve in Trump states going to look when the Dems push assault weapons bans? For perspective, two of the four Democrat Senators up for re-election are in states that recently passed constitutional carry over the governor's veto.

Hang on. Hillary is still out in the public, falling, making statements
that won’t help the DNC. All the democrats need to line her up for
couple of engagements during their campaign.

Yup, you gotta love these push polls and skewed polls and more fake polls. The Rats and the Fake News MSM are just drinking it up and partying like there is no tomorrow.

HERE IS WHAT THESE GENIUSES POLLED IN MID-OCTOBER 2016

"Donald Trump's chances of winning this election have faded," says Democratic pollster Fred Yang of Hart Research Associates, which conducted this survey with Republican pollster Bill McInturff and his firm Public Opinion Strategies.

"This poll is showing the writing on the wall," Yang adds.

American-first Republicans and Independent voters need to start getting the message out to youth voters, such as new highschool students (they will be 18 in 2020) and college students who will want to respond favorably to Trump’s strong message of hope and success. A GOTV strategy.
Trump supporter Republicans need fresh faces. Trump brings hope and has charisma and it translates to voters at his rallies. But we need to reach out more. Independent voters are up for grabs!
A targeted Social Media campaign needs to be well organized and effectively executed.

[JamesP81]

Trump infuriated more 2A voters than he can afford to lose. The Florida senate seat is lost because the R governor, now running for senate, signed gun control.

Trump is not totally innocent in this...though he mostly is.

We are going to lose the house narrowly. We will make gains in the senate.

[Cheerio]

Could it just be that “R” constituents are fed up with the DO NOTHING congress seemingly being led by two LOSERS?

[Innovative]

You made excellent points.
