Fox News Poll: Democrats maintain lead in race for House
http://www.foxnews.com ^ | August 23 2018 | By Dana Blanton

Several findings point to the potential for a blue map in November:

– President Trump’s job rating remains underwater.

– Republicans alone say the economy is in positive shape.

– The GOP tax law is less popular (40 percent favorable) than Obamacare (51 percent favorable).

– The Republican Party is less popular (39 percent favorable) than the Democratic Party (50 percent favorable).

– Optimism about life for the next generation of Americans is down eight points from last year.

– There is greater enthusiasm to vote in the midterms among out-of-power Democrats.

Meanwhile, the Trump/Russia probe isn’t going away. Approval of Special Counsel Robert Mueller stands at 59 percent

Have your fun trolling up the place today. We will have our answer for you in November and I don’t think you will like it.

Fake news is still fake news when Fuxx publishes it.

Dems are in freefall, and all the FNM are trying to save their bacon.

The Media that cried Trump

“National Polls mean nothing in house races.”

I’ve never understood why it’s even done.

Everyone hates X or Y congressman, but they will vote for their guy again.

Someone needs to ask “white suburban women” how they feel about the Democrats targeting their vote every two years because they think women are STOOOOPID.

Seriously, I think many of their anchors are salivating over this. Shep, in particular.

I don’t believe it.

I agree with your wife to a certain extent.

Keep the tweets about jobs, economy, education, healthcare but no tweets about people/name calling. I think he loses points when he does this.

I still think he is doing a great job.

And there is this:

Wisconsin’s gubernatorial and U.S. Senate races are looking tight as candidates from the Democratic and Republican parties have nearly equal support, according to a poll released Wednesday.

A Marquette Law School Poll surveyed likely Wisconsin voters between Aug. 15 to Aug. 19.

The poll found incumbent Republican Gov. Scott Walker and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Tony Evers both received 46 percent for the preferred vote.

Libertarian candidate Phil Anderson received a preference of 6 percent while 2 percent did not have any particular lean.

Walker had an approval rating of 48 percent while 45 percent disapproved and 6 percent were unsure as of August 2018.

The race is also tight for a Wisconsin U.S. Senate seat. Incumbent Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin had 49 percent of support while Republican Leah Vukmir had 47 percent support, with 3 percent saying they did not have any particular lean.

President Donald Trump won the state for the 2016 election, with 47.2 percent of the vote flipping the state red, according to The New York Times. While 55 percent of likely voters believed Trump kept his promises, 44 percent of the likely voters also believed Trump changed the Republican Party for the worse.

Voters in the state found the most important issues as jobs and the economy, education and health coverage.

An additional part to the survey gauged important issues within the state and the nation. Nearly half of the sample was asked about state issues while the other half was asked about national issues.

A political advocacy group founded by the Koch brothers is launching an ad campaign in support of Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker’s re-election, touting his education record while knocking his Democratic opponent.

Americans for Prosperity, a national political operation founded by Charles and David Koch, is giving Walker a boost in his bid for a third term as Wisconsin’s governor. The conservative group is launching a $1.8 million television and digital campaign that recites former praise for the governor’s education record

President Trump’s job rating remains underwater.

The only way they can be sure is to poll like they did for Bill Clinton-- two polls. Do you approve of him personally? Do you approve of the job he is doing as president?

Fox must be interviewing on college campuses because these results don’t square with what you hear from normal people.

Fox has always had terrible polling. I'm not saying that because I disagree with the numbers...they just have. They were one of the worst in 2016.

He did, in conversation and without any emphasis - but he said it almost like a throw away line. I wonder if the website has a transcript.

Anyone who owns a Para Ordnance .45 piece of junk can’t be all that smart.

Owned one, or more, for over a decade. Never hiccuped once, not once.
