Shock Poll: GOP Now Leads On Generic Ballot
Hot Air ^ | 14 Feb 2018

Posted on 02/14/2018 6:15:51 AM PST by mandaladon

Fully 39 percent of registered voters say they would support the GOP candidate for Congress in their district, while 38 percent would back the Democratic candidate. Nearly a quarter of voters, 23 percent, are undecided.

Voters are split almost evenly along party lines. Democratic voters break for their party, 85 percent to 5 percent, while Republicans similarly favor the GOP, 84 percent to 8 percent. Among independent voters, 26 percent would vote for the Democrat, 25 percent for the Republican and nearly half, 49 percent, are undecided.

The GOP’s 1-point advantage comes after three months of tracking in which Democrats maintained a lead ranging between 2 and 10 points on the generic ballot.

Seems simple:

1. Passed Tax Bill

2. Trump tweets are policy focused and much less personal. Have become significantly more effective. I’ve even seen CNN be forced to show them on the screen. (I don’t watch - the channel is, unfortunately, on in the gym!)

...The White working class is tired of being blamed for all society’s ills...

Especially when those ills are really caused by the demands of the non-working class.

Nah. The RATs are working overtime to water down the vote of real Americans by bringing in as many Illegal Invaders as they possibly can. McConnell is giving them all of the aid and comfort that he can muster.

The GOP keeps leading in the polls and then when the elections come, THEY LOST !! ( READ: Roy Moore, wasn’t he still leading by about 7 points even after the sexual harassment accusations? ).

Just look at the latest elections in Minnesota, Florida, etc.

It’s clear that the enthusiasm to go to the precincts to vote are not on the side of the GOP.

TURNOUT is the key and I highly doubt if this will help the GOP this election cycle.

Forget all the political polls...these idiot pollsters are lost at sea...no matter which side they favor. It’s all hogwash and lies. Bottom line, if the Democrats do not give in to the the Trump immigration agenda, 100%...they will get politically slaughtered come November, 2018. They do not know, nor, believe that they are on Political Life Support. Game over, on so many counts...cannot keep track of things anymore. Obama/Clinton...loyalists singing like stuffed Canaries...Schiff now hiding in the corner with his failed GOP response. Game over!!! Dem Senators will go down like ducks in a shooting gallery, dummies that they are!!! Pubbie pickups, 10-12 senate seats, 12-20 House seats. Trump rules!!! MAGA!!!

I’m loving the reactions on social media to President Trump’s proposal to give food stamp recipients, boxes of food every month instead of the EBT card!

It is not enough to elect people wearing R jersey if they are Bush League Republicans hell bent on amnesty for 30 million new Democrat voters.

We MUST Cantorize the weasels who side with illegal aliens and their employers.

“(I don’t watch - the channel is, unfortunately, on in the gym!)”

So, like all the US airports, CNN is paying gyms to show their trash?

“It is not enough to elect people wearing R jersey if they are Bush League Republicans hell bent on amnesty for 30 million new Democrat voters.”

But that’s exactly what the RNC, RNCC and the RNSC are doing. Anyone who gives these groups a dime is consorting with the enemy. Especially in the Senate.

What’s ‘shocking’ about it?....

Nothing. It's just more attention-getting, click-bait to try and get attention.

Well said, and true. The craziness seems so obvious that you believe every Democrat voter must endorse “crazy.”

More registered Democrats than there are Republicans this poll is off.
Unless Republicans can motivate their voter base a turnout big they’re going to lose big
