GOP heading for midterm wipeout as Blue Wave scenario gives Democrats 12-point generic ballot lead

The new NBC News-Wall Street Journal survey, taken six weeks before Americans head to the polls, shows Democrats leading Republicans by 52 percent to 40 percent for control of Congress. If it holds, that 12 percentage point margin would suggest a "blue wave" large enough to switch control of not just the House but also the Senate.

Also, Hillary will win a landslide. Why, she could even win in TEXAS!

The same poll claimed that Hillary led Trump by 11 points in Mid-October, and would get almost 330 electoral votes.

Fake science gives us fake polls.

CNBC competes with Barron’s for most documented failure rate in predictions.

The “Walk Away” movement is real. Just saying...

Don’t forget Georgia!! Georgia is in play for Hillary! This will be historic!!

Right now and in last couple of weeks, Republicans have been silent.no surprise in current poll results.

All I know is that I have never been more motivated to get to the polls and vote and vote and vote and ...

If it happens, then America deserves it. I’m not losing sleep over it. Jesus is still on the throne.

[Junk Silver]

Wow, has president Hillary Clinton heard about these amazing polls?

The telephone survey of 900 registered voters was conducted September 16-19. It carries a margin for error of 3.27 percentage points.

And that's all the info we get on methodology.

It's a crock poll.

Schit like this is why the Left was so absolutely, positively sure that Hillary was going to win. And why they were so absolutely shocked and angry that she didn’t.

NBC could not possibly have lied to them, could they?

The CNN and quinnapiac outliers were about to drop off the RCP generic ballot, so NBC had to replace those outliers with their own to keep the thumb on the RCP average.

It happens like clockwork. You’ll see 4-5 polls clustered in a range. D+5 to +8 for example in the most recent average and one poll way out of line.

NBC will be the new thumb on the RCP average for the next two weeks.

I'll loose sleep and I'll worry....but you're right.....we can only do what we can do and if our idjits voters vote badly, then so be it....

to be sure, the idjits are becoming the majority.

It’s not that the Republicans don’t deserve to be wiped out.

But that being said, the consequences of the Democrats taking Congress would be catastrophic.

The new NBC News-Wall Street Journal survey …

. . . is merely new fake news.

Fox News d plus6 poll- PT- 46 percent approve. NBC D plus 8 poll- 44 percent approve. So, really 50 percent approve!

[Logical me]

BS!

The “Walk Away” movement is real. Just saying...

It'll be “Walk Away” from the GOP if the Senate screws up the Kavanaugh nomination.

And remember when his polls told then-majority leader Virginia’s Eric Cantor was 75 points ahead?

Unknown Brat easily defeated Cantor in the district’s 2014 Republican primary.....even though Cantor outspent Brat by hundreds of thousands.

FWIW, I don’t trust the FNC’s poll results, either. Trump may trust them, but I no longer do.
