Republicans Jump Out To Historic Lead In Gallup Generic Ballot
RCP ^

Posted on 06/01/2010 1:26:00 PM PDT by big black dog

Gallup's generic polling shows the number of voters saying that they would vote for Republicans rising three points from last week, while the number saying they will vote for Democrats dropped four points. The 49%-43% lead for the Republicans is the largest that the pollster has ever recorded for the party. Moreover, Democratic enthusiasm for voting this fall fell a point, while enthusiasm among Republicans stayed about fifteen points higher. This indicates an even wider lead for Republicans once Gallup imposes a likely voter screen this fall.

RINO JUANS are still hopefully in trouble.

Temper enthusiasm, and let’s not become complascent. We need Conservatives leading by 30 points just to offset ACORN, SEIU, and democrat fraud, theft, and thuggery.

IIRC, this poll was taken just after Pelosi came out and said that the Dems would hold the House. She obviously scared a lot of folks..

Indeed. The RINOs still need a major smackdown.

What was it Obama said?

Something like, “I don't give a damn about Republicans. I only need 10 turncoats to get what I want.”

Any of y’all remember this?

“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha......... Wipeout...”

Needs to be our November theme song. The polling just keeps getting better and better.

History doesnt happen. We MAKE history. The blow out will be a DUD if you stay home or do nothing:

- put a bumper sticker on your car
- make a donation
- help a candidate, volunteer
- tell your friends to dump all Democrats
- find people who dont normally vote in off-year
elections and get them out to vote

This is the most important election in a generation. Only YOU can save American freedom.

Message to Republicans: Do more of what you’re doing and a little bit of what you’ve not been doing.

These fantastic poll results are a two edged sword. As DemoncRats realize that they are going to lose a massive number of seats in November, they will push ever harder to ram through the most attrocious socialist, anti-Christian garbage imaginable while they can.

I thought the last election was the most important one in a generation.

Perhaps they will all be from now on.

north korea and iamanutjob posture some moer

Yea! Welcome back Democrat Lite! I much prefer the languid pace to socialism of the Republicans over the freefall pace of the Democrats.

I’d feel a lot better if I knew the voter fraud was eliminated...and where the stimulas money was being hoarded.

Blood bath in November. Cannot wait to see the Obama news conference after election day. “Repudiated” will be too soft a term.

Let's not count our chickens just yet.

Zero will probably do "Stimulus III" in October. They'll send out millions of checks to their "base", and on the back will be: "By signing here you acknowledge that Congress can vote by proxy for you in all future elections".

Not that this allows us to be complacent or anything, but by golly this is what will do the bisturds in. Nov 2008 my little primary had lines I had never seen before. I was a poll watcher for 8 hours and saw tons of kids, loads of welfare parasites from the west side of precinct that never vote. There was even one old man who was unregistered (did not get to vote) who said he last voted for JFK. This Nov there will not even be a quarter of the 2008 turnout. I think if every conservative can drag out two of three extra votes, we will have .....change you dang well better believe.

Quinnipiac has always been a head scratcher for me. I cannot determine what method they are using to get these numbers. Perhaps they are using the template of the last election for turnout. Everyone thinks that is going to be a bad template for pollsters. It will be interesting how long they stick with it.

Gallup and Rasmussen, two of the best pollsters, are seeing roughly the same thing now. It will be interesting to see how many of the other pollsters will start re-examining their turnout templates going forward.

Thanks for the ping! These numbers are nothing short of amazing when you consider that Gallup hasn’t yet applied a “screen” for likely voters!

Not much change in Ras. It's been GOP + 5 to 10 points for at least the past half year. I'd say Ras is more accurate a predictor than Gallup or any of the other left-leaning polls.

You're right there, lil buddy. And they have hidden BILLIONS for handouts, public works projects, etc. You'll start seeing DAILY announcements for big, BIG projects. Yep, it's been a drought up to now, but the floodgates are opening soon in a city near you. It'll be a grandiose spectacle, winning the hearts and minds of the galactically stupid.

Even if they lose, the lameduck Dem congress will be very dangerous.

More than most people realize. The Marxist-Rats know that even with majorities, Republicans cannot likely repeal anything that the Dems pass while Oh-Damn-Ya is in the White House. It will be until at least 2010, and by then many policies and laws will be well-ensconced.

Two words: Chris Christie

Not because I think he's the one for president, but because he's doing what he said during his campaign, instead of talking one way then changing it after the election.

The "1-2-3 no changes" meme is getting old, very fast. So is the RINO contingent working behind the scenes (oh, they like what the DEMs are doing, only they want to be the ones wielding the power).

What is done can be undone if those willing to do it step up.

Right, never underestimate your enemies. Conservatives have to be diligent and keep fighting the good fight. The damage Obama has done in a year and a half is mind boggling. We can’t afford to lose in November.

It'll probably be like after Scott Brown won. You know, where it was actually a victory for Obama.
