Poll Shock: GOP Takes Lead in 2018 Generic Poll By 6 Points — Nine Point Reversal in One Week!
Gateway Pundit ^ | May 22, 2018 | Jim Hoft

Democrats are hoping for a blue wave to take down Republicans in the 2018 midterm elections. Then they can focus on impeaching President Trump over his mean tweets.

But the latest Reuters generic poll shows Republicans suddenly with a 6 point lead!

That’s a 9 point swing in one week.

This comes after more record economic news (ignored by the liberal mainstream media).

So if the only poll that matters is the one on Election Day why bother to plan? Why not just run blind and be surprised when the results on out on Election Day; that sound ridiculos but if it makes you feel good to feel bad knock yourself out

Yesterday, they were railing that they needed to “Drain the Swamp”. Was on Fox. As they said “I kid you not!”

The Dems will say whatever it takes to stay in power, and to increase power. They'll come out against abortion, for Christianity, against gays, for tax cuts, against Marxism, etc etc etc... up until they are safely back in office.

Just like most RINO's do as well.

Why did the MSM decide (for us) that socialist party movements should be "blue"? It is decidedly, properly, and historically, "red".

President Trump should immediately reverse the colors in his next pronouncements, and put Soviet-red states (like California) in their proper place.

“Wanna bet the Dems’ embrace of BOTH Hamas and MS-13 in the same week contributed to this?”

That was my exact fault. The media abetting this message (phony story about “animals”) helped the GOP cause.

Agree. Likely just a fluke.

I am hoping libs and left leaning voters aren’t very motivated come November.

It is still over 20 weeks from the mid-term elections.

If this particular poll can reverse 9 points in one week, then it can just as easily reverse the other way just as fast. That means this poll is utterly useless.

No way does public opinion shift that fast.

I never subscribed to the "blue wave" fear-mongering. I've thought all along that the Republicans have an excellent chance of increasing their majorities in the mid-terms with a worse case scenario of holding their ground. I do not see the Democrats flipping the House and they will almost certainly lose ground in the Senate no matter what as many "Trump" states have incumbent Democrat senators up for re-election.

As of last night Britt Hume was using old data to say how much trouble the GOP was in.

He was two days late and 2 dollars short.

But but the democrats are openly talking about gun confiscation and the MSM, Hollywood and some young jagoff in Florida assures me that is a really really really popular thing to do.

DNC election platform, Hate Trump, Impeach Trump. That is it.

Partner, u are so correct in that statement!

Partner, The Rat party and the right arm of the Rat party the MSM do not even realize that President Trump is doing the best job as our POTUS to turn around the economy in a positive growth direction.

The MSM will never report that President Trump goes to work at 6:30 a.m. in the morning and leaves work at 6:00 p.m. 5 days a week. Did I also mention that he is doing this work for a huge salary of $1.00 a year.

He is the highest energy level president we have ever had since President Theodore Roosevelt which was more than 100 years ago.

Did I mention that a lot of Americans go to sleep safe and sound since we have two (2) former Marine Generals at the side of President Trump. Those two (2) generals are Secretary of Defense "Mad Dog" Mattis and Chief of Staff General Kelly.

I do sleep soundly at night.

Prediction: Minnesota turns red in November!!!!

I guess Minnisota has found Somali cultural enrichment to be less than satisfying. When Minnissota goes red it will go deep red.

Two Senate races in MN this year with Franken resigning. High voter turnout will likely go democrat.

I think the dems need to double down on their support for MS13, Iran and North Korea. Then they should run more altered videos taking Trump’s words out of context. That will get them back on top.

I wonder if it’s occurred to them that using “Drain the Swamp” as a catch phrase for 2018 is only a little dumber than their using “MAGA”?

Whoever’s giving them their political advice has to be a closet Republican. Hmmm...maybe we’ve done some counterintel of our own?

Nope, it’s too late. The Dems have ruined the word “blue” by now, just like they ruined the word “liberal.”

Numerous Liberal RAT indictments coming which should provide wonderful campaign ads, ya think?

The Washington Times today has a report in its "Inside the Beltway" column that shows higher percentages of Republicans than of Democrats are likely to vote.
