Although you wouldn’t know it from the lack of media coverage, or even the AP's own write-up of the poll (which gives new meaning to the phrase "buried lead"), a new Associated Press-GfK poll offers nothing but harrowing news for Democrats and the media who love them.
Buried in the "pox on both houses" rhetoric we're hearing from the media, what you will find in a little place I like to call Reality are the actual numbers, which show consequential movement towards the GOP on almost every issue voters are most concerned with.
On the question of who voters would rather see win control of Congress, since May, Democrats have lost a 6 point 31-37% advantage. Both parties are now tied at 33% -- a full 6 point shift towards the GOP in just 6 weeks..
Since May, on the issue of handling the economy, the public has moved 4 points towards the GOP: a 25-27% advantage has now grown to 30-24%. On the federal budget, the GOP is up a full 5 points, 28-23%. On healthcare, the GOP has cut the Democrats advantage from 8 to just 5 points, 27-32%.
On the question of who should handle immigration, there has been a complete flip to the GOP. In May Democrats led 29-23%; today the GOP leads 29-25%. On managing the federal government, Republicans lead 27-24%; when it comes to protecting the country the GOP nearly doubles Democrats with 33-18% advantage.
When it comes to handling America's image abroad and handling an international crisis, the GOP leads by 24-27% and 29-20%, respectively.

A member of my extended family holds Conservative views on nearly every important issue of note.
But he voted lockstep for Democrats for four decades. At least until he retired from his union teaching job. Securing his benefits and pensions took priority over values and ideology apparently.
better yet; just think how much better it would’ve been had they not moved away from GOP voters after the victory we handed them four years ago.....i
my question .... what the hell directions that. I have no idea what the GOP stands for besides hating on the teaparty and lovin on the illegals.
what is “significant issue”? who decided?
I doubt that. I suspect it is more likely that they are unwilling to criticize the affirmative action president because of his skin color and the fact that he is the first one of that color to occupy the office. Anyone who points out his shortcomings will be accused of racism, so folks who would normally criticize keep their mouths shut.
I’ve made it my mission to politically destroy liberal republicans.
And I’m not going away. You don’t get to make that call.
Have a great day.

…yeah, 2010 as you say, 1994, 1980, 1984 - they never ever learn….even though history is CLEAR. The consultants believe just the opposite.
you’re both right - to a degree.
For example, the best combo of things that could happen? GOP wins the Senate while McConnell and Cochran lose. THAT would be a nice split the difference and send a powerful message.
Meh, that’s just some of the base coming home. When there’s a big shift get back to me.
