Polls show Democrats competitive in Southern Senate Races
The Hill ^ | May 12, 2014

Posted on 05/12/2014 2:50:07 PM PDT by SMGFan

Democrats in three top southern Senate races are holding their own — and even running ahead in a few cases — against Republicans in a new poll out Monday. A new series of NBC News/Marist polls show Democrats in Arkansas, Kentucky and Georgia are running even or ahead of their GOP opponents.

Be careful

The pollsters always correct there Pres year polls from the non stop wild Pro Dem figures in the few days before the election unless its midterms polls which do not get carved up so they stay awful.

These are midterm polls and the NBC ,ABC, CNN .... will all be cooked right to the end because they are saved and studied.

Just watch PPP which predicted the big loss for Ken C in VA which turned out to be close race which went intentionally unreported in the fall on purpose.

Polling is a scam which is why publishing polls results before election in many overseas countries are banned now.

Polls are used as a weapon by the Obama media .

It’s funny, I seem to recall that despite the clear Dem lean of the PPP, they actually weren’t that far off with some predictions.

What’s wrong with voting for Mitt Romney? He favors the working man (hiking the minimum wage) and the sick (socialized medicine).

He’s a wunnerful caring man. He loves you.

No problem.

God is the only one able to fix this terrible mess. We’re deluding ourselves if we think otherwise.

It is a funny saying, but also very true. “The campaign went fine until the voters got involved.”

I was being facetious. But the people on our side who don’t approve 100% of a Republican and sit out an election are doing exactly that.

A tornado hits Arkansas. Pryor gets Obama to visit and “feel their pain”. His poll numbers go up. As far as I’m concerned it doesn’t say much positive about Arkansas voters that they’ve been re-electing the fat fool for years just because his daddy was a politician.

...and often Obama ended up doing better than the polls indicated.

Ever hear of election fraud and cheating? Well, no bona fide pollster or polling technique can account for that. And that's likely a major reason why Zero finished a significant number of points ahead of what he was polling immediately prior to the election, especially in the swing states. In fact, you can make a good case for contending that if not for the 'Rat fraud and cheating, which took many forms and was targeted to the swing states, Romney would be the POTUS today.

Of course, 'Rats will say that there is seldom or never election fraud, because they have absolutely no desire to clean it up - until appropriate legislation forces their collective hands.

The NBC Marist push poll scam has been uncovered.

NBC and Marist cooked a poll by over sampling Blacks and under sampling Whites.

That is how you cook a push poll in the South!,,

oh how very well I remember those "skewed" polls and the seemingly mysterious gaps between the polling numbers and the vote count.

I sense it wont be long now.

There is plenty of election fraud. Maybe the pollsters even account for it. They would if they were smart. All I’m saying is the the polls end up being a lot more accurate than Free Republic or talk radio predictions. Whatever the excuse, republicans rarely outperform polls..

Scumocrats' rigged polling is an effort to create a "bandwagon effect"----hoping voters will jump on and vote for a sure "winner."

===========================================

STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE As far back as 2008, at the presidential debate in Nashville, Democrat candidate Obama advanced his signature healthcare plan---ultimately enacted, by an historic straight Democrat party-line vote, into the "Affordable Care Act"

QUOTING 2008 OBAMA: "No. 1, let me just repeat, if you’ve got a health care plan that you like, you can keep it. All I’m going to do is help you to lower the premiums on it. You’ll still have choice of doctor.” Repeated over and over ---- with the promise that every American family would be saving $2500.00 on healthcare costs.

Significantly, Obamba NEVER corrected lock-stepping Democrats, all reading from the same Democrat talking points, all of them repeating the same Democrat promises---over and over again.

LOCK-STEPPING PARTY LOYALTY NOT SEEN SINCE 1930-40's ERA EUROPE Obama And The Dems marched in lockstep. The persistent Dumbocrat drumbeat ---- in obeisance to Obama ---- kept ringing reassuringly in our ears: "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan."

==================================================

Mark Pryor looks for Obamacare enrollees who've paid for insurance, who are actually insured, for millenials duped into paying for other people's h/care and for the "underserved"....who had no insurance before ACA took effect.

====================================================

Betcha Harry Reid's name might evoke similar sentiments in Senate races.

PELOSI THE MAGIC VOTE-GETTER --- FOR REPUBLICANS Seems that invoking "Pelosi" was a vote-getter......for Republicans....(cackle).

National Journal reported Repub strategists had measured which messages were most effectively persuading voters to turn in their ballots.

<><> In Jolly's race, they turned to a message—delivered across a variety of digital platforms and email—that focused on urging Repubs to vote now or watch Democratic Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi move one step closer to reclaiming the speaker's gavel.<><>

=================================================

Cotton needs to ask Pryor when Obama is coming by to campaign for him (snix).

News reports say Obama flew off to headline several fund-raisers.

So many Democrat fund-raisers----so few campaign stops (cackle). And here's why.....Obama is near his all-time low approval ratings, and was labeled 'political poison' to the party’s candidates.

Being tied to an unpopular president can be a millstone around an eager Democrat's neck. Democrats want some of the presidential pull, but Obama, himself, should get out of their way.....and stay the hell out of their districts.

===========================================

PEW/USA TODAY POLL: THE GOP MIDTERM TSUNAMI COMETH Breitbart.com ^ | May 5,2014 | Wyntn Hall / FR Posted by Biggirl

Pew Research/USA Today poll shows Obamacare and the bleak jobs picture have coalesced to put Democrats in a weaker political position than they were before the historic GOP 2010 midterm tsunami that resulted in the largest defeat for a newly elected president in a midterm since 1922.(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...

Michelle Nunn is a nobody. She has the personality of furniture polish. Her ads on TV are pathetic. GA is a firmly red state and we will have a republican senator in Nov.

Can you give us a brief rundown on the GOP Senate primary candidates, who you may be supporting, and why? When is the primary?

Pass laws demanding the death penalty for anyone caught changing more than 100 votes... that will put a stop to it. And if Democrats object tell them 'what's the problem, you say it isn't happening anyhow"... so 'what will it hurt"? Let them try to squiggle out of that one.
