Hope the WH finds this amusing.

[Artemis Webb]

Nice to see but meaningless.

[JoSixChip]

Lets hope it translates to conservatives being elected.

Generic Congressional Ballot: Republicans 46%, Democrats 36%

Manufacturing over 10% for the total votes to ensure victory could be a real problem for Democrats.

“Manufacturing over 10% for the total votes to ensure victory could be a real problem for Democrats.”

I read somewhere that the GOP routinely factors about 5% for Democrat fraud. The recent elections in New Jersey and Massachussetts are what really gives me some hope.

Christie(GOP) won by a bigger margin that the last RCP average poll said he would in the NJ elections. And NJ is as blue as they come.

Does this mean that only 36 percent of the American people are hard-line Stalinists now?

"How so?"

I don't know if I understand your question. But people that self identify as republican tend to vote more conservative then those who claim to be dems.

The time for an Amnesty Bill won't come until after the November election.

If there is a GOP blowout, count on Reid and Pelosi to call a lame duck session between the election and the installation of the new Congress in January.

It would actually be easier for them to pass Amnesty in this environment than before the election. They can tell all the defeated Democrats that they've nothing more to lose, they'll be rewarded with federal jobs and union sinecures...and they can insure the ascendancy of the Democrat party for a generation.

Plus, they'll get the support of RINOs like Lindsay Graham and John McCain -- especially if he's defeated in the primary. It will be an opportunity for him to poke a stick in conservative eyes one last time.

Even if we win in November, the lame duck session could be a disaster for America.

[SmokingJoe]

It was meant for the post above yours.
Apologies.

[JoSixChip]

No problem.

[Nonstatist]

Show me where this trranslates into a takeover of the House . I dont see it

[Artemis Webb]

Historically speaking voters tend to reelect THEIR incumbent congressman. While they might blame or think poorly of the performance of one particular party they tend to think, “Yeah but our guy's okay”. In other words when it comes time to vote there is nobody named “Joe Generic” on the ballot.

Obviously this is not to say that incumbents never lose. Nor am I saying that the poll results are not good for what they are worth. It's just that they aren't worth much.

"The time for an Amnesty Bill won't come until after the November election."

This sounds to me like you expect a rational course of action out of this regime and congress, I'm not so sure. I believe obumber, reid and pelosi are completely drunk with power and insane.
