RASUMUSSEN: Generic Congressional Ballot Is All Tied Up (BLUE FLUSH!!!)
Rasmussen Reports ^ | October 10, 2018 | Rasmussen

Wednesday, October 10, 2018

With less than a month to Election Day, the Generic Congressional Ballot is now dead even.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone and online survey finds that 45% of Likely U.S. Voters would choose the Democratic candidate if the elections for Congress were held today. Another 45% would opt for the Republican. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate, and eight percent (8%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Last week, 47% of voters said they would choose the Democratic candidate while 42% said they would choose the Republican. It is unclear whether the sudden jump to a tie vote is a reflection of the anger surrounding the Kavanaugh confirmation process, but we will continue to watch this in the weeks ahead.

But the great and wise Larry Sabato assures me that it’s just a question of how big the blue wave will be!!

Thank you for the correction.

something they “contend” happened, I should have said.

That makes it even worse.

Plus I thought they were the party of second and third and fourth chances for criminals.

Yet they were willing to go back dozens of years to decide what a man was like today? IF there had even been any truth to their allegations, which there was not.

Hypocrites.

The democrats can’t help themselves.

They are at a point where they cannot control the mobs and the freak-out people, but can’t win without them.

And the Leftist freaks are driving independents rightward.

Now is the time to pour it on. Your vote alone isn’t enough! Bring 10 of your closest friends & family to the polls on 11/6 and help to crush these ‘rats.

< p> Possibly even more important is to contribute, and contribute HEAVILY. Right now the NRCC and the NRSC are running for to one match programs where every dollar each of us directly contributes is matched with another four dollars. Thus, if one of us gives $100 to either, that $100 will be matched with another $400, for a total impact of $500. If you're not on the email list for those offers, go to the website for either the NRCC or the NRSC, make a contribution, and give them your email address. That should get you on the high impact list. It's ABSOLUTELY VITAL that we ALL do this.

As the dems continue to tank I wonder what last ditch Hail Mary they will try? Even knowing that it would probably backfire a Mueller indictment of Trump is my guess.

With what the nation has seen from the Kavanaugh hearings, the Mueller investigation, BLM and Antifa the fact that so many races are close is something that I think portrays an ugly future.

You’re a jerk off.

I’ve been here forever and made a SLIP up in a sentence and you tell me to go back to DU.

Go ### your mother if you don’t on a regular basis already.

Cause with that sour and disgusting attitude it’s the only person that would let you ### her

The leftists rely on Churchill’s adage that “a lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.”

We need to loudly refute their dishonest narratives at every chance.

Generic ballots ALWAYS favor the Democrats.

You are absolutely right.

That doesn’t mean that poster 28 isn’t still a d.ck.

Need some good GOP ads pointing out how far left the dems have swung, all the mentions of socialism and showing the violence of the far left.

“BTW, polling even in the Generic Congressional Ballot really means the GOP should gain some seats due to the way the districts are set up.”

You are correct in this. The Democrats have a natural 3-5 point advantage in the Generic Polling and anything up to D+5 is considered dead even.

In the Age of Trump conventional political wisdom needs to be thrown out the door. The GOP will add seats in the House and will be +5 or better in the Senate. The Kavanaugh confirmation hearings was a seminal moment in American politics. For the first time many Americans saw in full display how radical and dangerous the Democrat Party really is! I truly believe the majority of our countrymen don’t want that for America and will not reward the RATS with a majority in the House or Senate.

WTF? who’s the jerk off? Your post actually did claim Kavanaugh was guilty. Even though you say it was a mistake, how the hell would some one else know that?

Your over reaction is a bit
suspicious...Could you be a super secret Troll?

Sure you could.

The trend is our friend. As recently as a month ago, Democrats had a 15 point advantage. Its been dwindling ever since and now its disappeared.

Not a bad thing and like I said yesterday, all the indicators are moving in the right direction.

When you consider in an off-year election, the party in power usually loses seats, this is huge news.

And the Democrats will turn even more wacko, proving Trump right when he warns they can’t be trusted with power. What’s really happening?

Its not the GOP that’s destroying the Democrats; they’re doing it all to themselves.
