GOP heading for midterm wipeout as Blue Wave scenario gives Democrats 12-point generic ballot lead
CNBC ^ | 10-22-2018 | John Harwood

Posted on 09/23/2018 8:47:37 AM PDT by tcrlaf

The new NBC News-Wall Street Journal survey, taken six weeks before Americans head to the polls, shows Democrats leading Republicans by 52 percent to 40 percent for control of Congress. If it holds, that 12 percentage point margin would suggest a "blue wave" large enough to switch control of not just the House but also the Senate.

Only ¡YEB! can defeat Hillary.
Donald Trump will never be the Republican nominee.

I hope Dems take heart from this and stay home since MSM says they are so far ahead.

They found 900 registered voters who would answer a pollster?
They called journalists, didn’t they?

We won’t win every election because Trump beat Hillary. I have a relative who just got cable. They ask questions like “what’s this FISA?”

They must call the people you see interviewed on television who have no clue about anything.

Could be a fake poll. Depending on when the poll was taken,
and I did not see when the poll was taken. It could also be showing
GOP voter depression on how the GOP Weak Senators have
handled the Kavanaugh SC nomination.

And I believe there are many Conservatives who will do exactly that.

The telephone survey of 900 registered voters was conducted September 16-19.


Well, since there are 435 Congressional Districts that averages out to about 2.07 polled per district. And did they, in fact, make sure to call voters in each district? Did they even bother to call voters in every state? Of course not. But, I’m sure it is a “scientific” process.

The Dems may win control of the House, or not. I am puzzled at why so many seem to be displeased with a booming economy, possible Korean peace talks/disarmament, record employment, etc. etc.

Written by John Harwood, who was shown to be colluding with Democrats in the Hillary emails that were released by WikiLeaks.

The New York Times live polling has shown good GOP results on a district by district basis.

The generic ballot is rather pointless with regard to specific districts.

D+ oversampling, leading question bias and low response rate typical of registered voter polls which is the cheapest poll possible.

Absolute garbage. Polls like this are used to shape public opinion not to reflect it.

FWIW, none of the polls in TX caught the GOP upset last week.

Blue Wave, indeed.

It is an unfortunate feature of any two-party system that kicking out the majority for malfeasance (which is necessary) puts the other guys, who may be, and in our case are, worse, in power.

I am voting for Eddie Edwards (R) for Congress and John Sununu (Rino) for governor, but I can reason abstractly and understand the lesser of two evils.

The majority in Congress, however, is so horrible and has failed the people again and again, never mind their constant undermining of the man we sent there to straighten sh*t out, that it will not surprise me in the least if they are wiped out, down to 140-160 seats - because they certainly deserve it.

Let’s for a moment assume this is true. GOP will lose in Nov.

Then they’d better stop wasting time and confirm Kavanaugh NOW!
