CNN poll: Democrats are fired up and maintain a strong 2018 lead Source: CNN
Washington (CNN)Four weeks out from Election Day, Democrats remain well ahead of Republicans in a generic ballot matchup, with 54% of likely voters saying they support the Democrat in their district and 41% backing a Republican, according to a CNN poll conducted by SSRS.
This is the widest margin of support for Democrats in a midterm cycle since 2006, when at this point, the party held a whopping 21-point lead over Republicans among likely voters. That's also when Democrats seized control of the House from Republicans, making Nancy Pelosi speaker
This year, Democrats' enthusiasm about their congressional vote has increased and 62% now say they're extremely or very enthusiastic to vote, up seven points since September among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents. Among Republicans and Republican leaning independents, enthusiasm has remained relatively steady, going from 50% in September to 52% in the most recent poll.
Democratic enthusiasm this year is more intense than it has been in previous midterm cycles, which typically engage voters less than presidential years. The 40% who call themselves "extremely enthusiastic" is the highest share to say so in a midterm election cycle since CNN first asked the question in 2009.
Democrats hold a 13-point lead over Republicans among likely voters on the generic congressional ballot, according to a new poll from CNN.
The CNN survey, which was conducted by SSRS and released on Tuesday, found that 54 percent of likely voters favor a Democratic congressional candidate in their district. Forty-one percent of likely voters said they support a GOP candidate.
This is the widest margin of support for Democrats in a midterm cycle since 2006, when the party held a 21-point lead over Republicans among likely voters, according to CNN.
Trump does not call these suppression polls for no reason.
What does concern me is that I think the democrats have been pulling out all the stops on their voter fraud operations. The DOJ at least needs to make severe threats for anyone committing vote fraud.
Also CNN:
“Why, Hillary could even win in TEXAS!! Yes, Trump is losing that badly.”
Generic ballot polls are absolutely worthless. Nobody anywhere votes on a generic ballot.
I will do my part. Tomorrow I will remind everyone in Michigan that the last day to register to vote is the 9th of October.
It’s over, I’m not even going to bother voting /sarc
I hope these stories don’t energize the dems.
There’s a video where the media really, really, really had Hillary winning. But due to partial content, I should not post it, since FR is family-friendly.
Basically they had Hillary with about 347 electoral votes or so.
I hope the dems and their behavior will continue to inspire Republicans to crawl over a desert of glass to get to the polls.
Nobody can afford to sit this one out.
The Left is going to cheat and lie with no limitations, the ends justifies the means, fact is they have no decency, exactly like their father Satan.
Who did they poll. - DNC staffers?
CNN: We report; we decide for you.
In the real world contributions to the RNC are up 500% since before the Kavanaugh smear fiasco.
Smells of damage control. I am sure that every media outlet is getting their marching orders to prop up their base with manufactured good news.
Anybody know where you can find a list of polls shortly before the 2016 election and the predictions? I know lots of pollsters would rather forget about that.
Most of the population surveyed live in heavily Democrat districts which elect Democrats by 30-40 point margins.
Because that’s where most of the population is.
That said, Republicans would do well to focus and turn out.
Or they’ll get a spankin’.
Guess we should all just stay home then. /sarc. This is a blatant push-poll. A pathetic one at that.
More like a panicked, propaganda push poll to try to deflect the bad news they are getting.
1000000000000000000 percent HORSE CRAP!
I always suggest caution before ignoring any poll. It could be right due to random blind luck. However, this one probably goes in the “If we get an earthquake, a hurricane, and a firestorm at the same time” bin.
The sample was adults, not even registered voters. This polling was done when the Democrat fanatics were still thinking that they could stop the Kavanaugh nomination. This is completely out of phase with other generic ballot polls that all show moving in the GOP direction. In other words, this one is an outlier at best, but probably pure BS.
I have noticed that the professional liars who show up on the news networks and elsewhere clearly have gotten marching orders from the Democrat Fuherer Bunker to tell their base to ignore all those GOP tanks running around downtown. Panic is in their voice. Wait for the polls that are being collected this week, it will give us a real measure of the mood of the voters. Early indicators are promising.
Ha ha ha ha Cn who? Tell them to go away.
Yes, I’m sure Dems are fired up - which consists of the few morons that still consider themselves Dems.
