For the very first time since April of last year, when Real Clear Politics first started monitoring averages, the Democrat advantage in the generic ballot has dipped below 5 percent.
As of right now, the trend is with the GOP and President Trump has only started to make his case to turn out his base in November.
Moreover, Democrats have no issue to run on — no ideas, unless you count Russia! Russia! Russia! Impeach! Impeach! Impeach! Stormy! Stormy! Stormy!
As Trump begins to remind voters that a House takeover by Democrats will almost certainly result in a futile and year-long kangaroo impeachment trial, he should be able to energize a base which is not only eager to see this Russian Hoax come to an end, but to hand the establishment media yet-another electoral defeat.
As far as the fate of the Senate, Republicans actually are likely to pick up a couple of seats, maybe more, and hold that chamber without a sweat.
At least as of now, the GOP has every reason to be happier than Democrats with these polls and the even more important trends.

This is what pisses me off about Fox News. Just to rattle off the bullshit about being fair and balanced, on nearly every show that uses a so-called panel, they introduce someone who calls themselves a democratic strategist, and they never fail to spew, unchecked or un challenged, the same old liberal lies; Trump needs to thank Obama for this economy, Trump is racist,Hitler, blah, blah, blah, ad- nauseum.
They're hemorrhaging
and Trump is WINNING!!!
They NEED to change momentum or they're toast.
Ryan will be gone>
The never Trumpets will be quieted a little
Trumps agenda will gain steam.
39 judges have been confirmed.
82 more have been nominated.
Strong possibility of at least one SC judge in the next 2 years.
old liberal lies; Trump needs to thank Obama for this economy, Trump is racist,Hitler, blah, blah, blah, ad- nauseum.
People are getting tired of hearing that the sky is falling when they can see that the weather is bright and sunny.
I feel...happy...
Democrats run on illegal immigration, black lives matter, reduce military,. weaken military, which bathrooms to use, anti white workers.
Let us face it the left are different groups jelled into one group which are full of fanatics. They are everything which the country stands against.
yep did my post and saw yours.
The left are just full of fanatics who are made up of different groups who hate America.
In 2002, when the GOP took back the Senate, Dascle and crew said it wasn't fair that the GOP had both houses AND the WH, and wanted a power sharing agreement. It was insanity, of course, but the gutless, spineless GOP actually considered it..
No, I believe the GOP can win and keep both houses. But it will take some work. And it will have to come from Trump himself..
The “Blue Wave” meme was our fault for going against Trump’s instincts in Alabama and giving the seat away....
The Top 10 Outrageous Maxine Waters Quotes.
1. Tea Party hell: In remarks earlier this month in Inglewood, Calif., Waters went after the Tea Party, telling a group of her constituents (many wearing purple SEIU T-shirts): “I am not afraid of anybody. This is a tough game. You can’t be intimidated. You can’t be frightened. And as far as I’m concerned, the Tea Party can go straight to hell.”
2. Walk the plank: During her August 2011, “We’re getting tired” tirade, Waters also went after the opposition in the debt-ceiling debate: “We were basically held up in raising the debt ceiling until they got all of those budget cuts they demanded. We didn’t raise any revenue, and they didn’t close any tax loopholes. I believe the Democratic Party and the President of the United States should not have backed down. We should have made them walk the plank.”
3. Socializing oil companies: Back in 2008, Waters was lecturing oil company executives at a congressional hearing when she plainly stated her true intentions: “Guess what this liberal would be all about? This liberal would be about socializing … uh, umm. … Would be about, basically, taking over, and the government running all of your companies.”
4. Outrageous flag-waving: After the health care bill was signed in April 2010, Waters denounced flag-waving at a Tea Party rally. “I was amazed. I really was. I didn’t say anything to anybody. I just watched-the Republicans were out there-they were having a great time. They were laughing, they were waving the American flag, they were egging them on, and I thought that was outrageous behavior. I really did.”
5. No crisis at Fannie Mae: As a senior member of the House Financial Services Committee, Waters played a key role in allowing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s reckless actions that led to the housing meltdown. Here is Waters, at a 2004 congressional hearing, (and yes, that is the same “Frank” Raines that vastly overstated Fannie Mae’s earnings in order to receive $90 million in bonuses). “We do not have a crisis at Freddie Mac, and particularly Fannie Mae, under the outstanding leadership of Frank Raines.”
6. Right to anger: Way back in 1989, Waters was quoted saying how angry she was, and she has been angry ever since. Here are those 1989 remarks: “I have a right to my anger, and I don’t want anybody telling me I shouldn’t be, that it’s not nice to be, and that something’s wrong with me because I get angry.”
7. White power: Racial politics are always front and center for Waters, as evidenced by this quotation from a 1993 interview with the Los Angeles Times: “Policy, for the most part, has been made by white people in America, not by people of color. And they have tended to take care of those things that they think are important. Whether it’s their agricultural subsidies, or other kinds of expenditures that are certainly not expenditures for poor people or for people of color. And so we have to band together and keep fighting back.”
8. Rodney King rebellion: During the “Why can’t we all just get along” riots in her congressional district, Waters excused the wonton violence, as her constituents were intent on burning down the city. The Los Angeles Times quoted her saying: “If you call it a riot, it sounds like it was just a bunch of crazy people who went out and did bad things for no reason. I maintain it was somewhat understandable, if not acceptable. So I call it a rebellion.”
9. Schedule a meeting: With the financial crisis looming, Waters was mostly worried about a bank that her husband had a financial stake in. Here, she admits that she contacted the Treasury Department on behalf of OneUnited Bank officials, actions which prompted a congressional ethics probe: “I followed up on the association’s request by asking Treasury Secretary Paulson to schedule such a meeting.”
10. Liar, thief: For those liberals who decry harsh conservative attacks on President Obama, let’s hearken back to 2005 and listen to Waters’ comments on President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney: “The President is a liar. Dick Cheney, the chief architect of the Big Lie, is not only a liar, he is a thief.”
It still bugs me that so many willfully oblivious people believe them.
The Dems KNOW these folks HAVE to vote their way, or else they would not be screaming about VOTE SUPPRESSION!!! by Conservatives.
I think it would be enough for this wishy washy group to merely sit out this next election to assure yet a bigger Conservative lead in elected politicians.
I thought I saw Pelosi,Maxine,anti-NRA organizers,Bill,Hillary,Chelsea,Elizabeth Warren,Comey,Mueller,Maddow,Mika,Don Lemon and a lot of others in the blue water down there.
Should I flush?
That old Japanese man was their commander in chief, Admiral Yamamoto.
Perhaps she has slipped into another of her liberal-socialist educed comas.
People who don’t gamble aren’t worth talking to.

The attacks on President Trump have done no good. not a single supporter of his has changed their mind as a result of the lies. Indeed, some folks I know have become sympathetic due to the sheer amount of inaccurate vitriol.
There is going to be *some* loss of seats, but that is totally normal in an election year following a change of political party in the presidency. The reason has little to do with the President themselves and everything to do with the people who voted for someone they see as the lesser of two evils. LOTS of people who voted for Trump didn’t vote *FOR* him, but against Hillary, just as with Obama, Bush, Clinton and going back many elections.
The leaders of the Democrat Party now are: Hillary Clinton, a former porn star, and Pocahontas. And they’re wondering why they’re not doing well?
