Republicans have moved to a 12-point lead in the latest Rasmussen Generic Congressional Ballot poll. They now lead Democrats 48%-36% – tied for the largest lead ever recorded for Republicans by Rasmussen.

RASMUSSEN: A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 48% of Likely Voters would vote for their district’s Republican congressional candidate, while 36% would opt for his or her Democratic opponent. The survey data was collected on the seven days ending Sunday, September 5, 2010.

I hope we’re not peaking too early. Too much time for ACORN or whatever their name is now.

Take nothing for granted.

Voter fraud and intimidation will be unprecedented this November.

We'll know one thing for sure. If the Dems do "better than expected" , they've beat the system. And we'll have to do drastic things in the future to change the system.

There should be a moratorium in the word ‘surge’ in all its forms.

[DarthVader]

Keep volunteering and campaigning hard and let APORN do the worrying.

How do you get from 6 to 12 in just a couple of weeks? I think these polls are plus/minus about 4 or so. Maybe Ras is using a sample size of 10.

48% Republican, 36% Democrat, 0% RINO.

Yet who gets all the NRSC lawyers and money?

“sniff, sniff”

I smell blood in the water!

Go for the jugular!

Somehow the dumba$$ republicans will screw this up.
And if they somehow squeak by and gain the majority, they will CAVE to every demand the dems make on them.

Rasmussen had the GOP at +9 just a few weeks ago, so I would assume the poll that had the GOP at +6 was an “outlier”, especially since all of the other major polls (Gallup, Fox, etc) seem to be showing the GOP anywhere from +8 to +10.

Unless the Rats lose 100+ house and 60+ senate seats the MSM will herald the election as proof of Zeros political acumen and the Rats popularity with true patriotic Americans. The internet will be ablaze with stories of the real events until the lame duck Congress passes the Internet Security Act and federalizes the MSM under the Freedom of Press Security Act.
The first will happen...the second is rather fanciful, but, is based on the current administrations adherence to the maxim that dissent is evil and deviation from approved edicts constitutes dissent.

Expect the Democrats to have lots of October surprises and expect MSM to support them every step of the way.

Republicans NEED large majorities to make up for the voter fraud we can be SURE to exist.

‘I hope we’re not peaking too early.’

What makes you think that we are anywhere near the peak?

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

‘Unless the Rats lose 100+ house and 60+ senate seats’

Since the Dems only are defending about 18 Senate seats, a loss of 60+ seats may be hard to arrange.

[Gabrial]

Keep talking Obama. The Republicans need you.

I was postulating on how high the MSM would set the bar...never said that it would be logical or reality based.

“I hope we’re not peaking too early”

That is kind of my nightmare. If we are up 50 seats now we just mightpeak too soon between now and then.

[Clintonfatigued]

We shouldn’t take anything for granted, but ACORN and their minions can only do so much.

[WOSG]

Average them all and you get +9 ... still a blowout.
