With fraud, Boxer is up by 10 points.
I for one have stopped falling for CA and NJ polls.
Each election cycle polls indicate GOP is tied or ganining, and then after votes are counted Dems win handily.
Bush almost lost the first Presidential election because he got caught in CALIFORNIA-POLL-TRAP and in final days, ended up dropping critical 5 million dollars in CA - ones he should have dropped in FL.
Oh well, that’s past history. With the fear, pain and suffering out there, anything is possible.
I just want to win this November, and give that big-eared, incompetent, smarmy elitist buffoon in the White House the biggest b-slap we can. I'm tired of losing elections. We need to give the 'Rats a taste of it. As many 'Rats as we can beat, I'm all for it.
Sarah Palin endorsed Carly. That’s good enough for me.
Whatever happens in the senate, the house will be Republican after Jan. 3, and could and should defend by defund. I look for a major logjam to last until 2012, when we dump more dims from the senate, and toss out a bunch of RINOs as well.
Allen West for speaker in 2013, Jim DeMint for senate majority leader, 2011!
Sorry, but I blindly follow no persons “endorcement”.
Its not an if she will screw it up if elected, just when... much like Scott Brown. This one is predictable as rain, conservatives banking on her to be a conservative, especially after her record of failure professionally are dilluding themselves.
She’ll win, the anti dem/boxer movement is too strong, but she’ll disappoint, and get an easy take out target down the road.
Interestingly, in this poll Fiorina gets 27% of the black vote. This seemed surprising to me considering McCain got 5% of the black vote nationally, and perhaps less in CA I’d guess.
It all depends upon what bar you set for a tsunami, but I am basically in your camp.
I could see 75 seats switch to the Republicans and as many as 8 Senate seats. The Republicans will take over the state houses of nearly 3/4 of the US population.
Many Republicans will be disappointed when the Republicans don’t take control of the Senate. What has gone without saying, though, is that the Dems owe their 60-seat advantage to blood baths in 2006 and 2008. The 2004 elections were actually quite kind to the Republicans, and for this reason there is only so much progress that Republicans can make in this cycle vis-a-vis the Senate.
But if the Republicans can take 8 Senate seats, grab one defecting Democrat, and get Lieberman to caucus with them, then the future becomes bright once again — for the simple reason that in the next two cycles (2012 and 2014) there will be so so so many vulnerable Dems up for re-election.
And with so many Republican governors, the prospects for both redistricting and elections for the next decade look ever brighter.
American voters made a breathtakingly serious mistake in 2008. They will unwind it with a vengeance!
We will take the Senate.
Oh, I would not compare her with Snowe (who as far as I’m concerned might as well belong to the Democrat party). But she is not a conservative as Coburn either. I guess my point is, she is probably as far to the right as one could hope for and still have a chance against Boxer.
I hope you’re right Rachel. I am working, giving, and praying for that result in my little corner of the world.
Even with small elections: school board, etc. We start small with a national vision. The Constitution must be the rule.
I totally agree.
Those who say we get less than 8 seats are still in “normal” election thinking.
THIS IS THE REVOLUTION !
We will win ALL 10 Dem seats in play.
Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Washington and Wisconsin.
They ALL FALL November 2nd and the POLLING will continue to show it as more and more Americans tune into what is happening.
Connecticut is the only questionable surprise. Are the people ANGRY enough, do the polls show it getting close enough, that something AMAZING happens?
There is one OTHER curve ball. There is a 10% chance... the Joe Manchin in WV would SWITCH PARTIES if the GOP picked up 11 seats.
That would make it a DOZEN gainer in the Senate. A 12 vote swing. Though 10 is more likely.
The MAJORITY in any case !!
I just saw a Patty Murray ad here in Eastern WA on Fox News. She said that Dino Rossi wants to REPEAL the Financial ‘Reform’ bill. Methinks she is afraid.
It happens often. One of the consistent quirks of African-American voters that any pollster will tell you about is the strange fact that they readily vote in excess of 90% for the Democrats in Presidential elections, but have been known to split in excess of 30% to GOP candidates in some instances in statewide and local elections.
In Illinois, black voters went 99% for Obama, and probably will again in 2012. Mark Kirk is likely to take as much as 30% of the black vote against the Democrat in the Senate race this year, and Bill Brady as much as 15% in the Governor's race.
Just a long-standing anomaly.
This is good news, even though I question the accuracy of this poll.
By the way, I find the timing of this action to be suspicious:

SurveyUSA’s internals on the black vote are usually way weird. 27% is normal for a SurveyUSA poll; if anything, it’s rather low. But they tend to be accurate in the big picture. My guess is that maybe they randomly distribute the unresponsive people?
Just hope the Pubs coming in are honest and true conservatives, not the money grubbing, glory hunters of the Bush congress.
Rossi wins this time.
Actually, he won LAST time, but this time becomes official.
One small problem: you use the word "Holocaust", and a "Holocaust" is a BAD thing. Ridding our government of liberals, though, is NOT a bad thing.
Although, upon reflection, if this is a "headline" from the newspapers, it makes sense that THEY would consider it a "holocaust". :)
THAT I am afraid, is the BAD news.
We are going to get some MOST EXCELLENT new blood in the House and Senate, but not NEAR enough.
Rand Paul, is my pick for MOST "shocking".
I put it like this. Right now, if we did a Poll on FR. MORE than half would say they do not like him and have issues with X Y or Z or just call him a NUT outright without even any facts.
I predict 365 days from now, that same poll of those same people, here on FR, will be hailing him as a HERO with 90% approval.
Dr NO in the Senate. And he has a base from which he can be a Steve King or Michelle Bachmann. Watch and see.
And not in the house, but in the "YES I AM GOING TO FILIBUSTER THIS BILL TOO" US Senate.
I can hardly wait !!
