Lots of folk are coming up with 100 ways this polling is wrong. That’s fine.

But I lived in a state where my vote counted, I would be sure to drag everyone I knew to the election.

These polls are coming out now to further depress our side. Stay strong and do not let them make you think they are winning.

Buried in the piece: "Their 12-point national lead today includes a margin of 30 points in House districts Democrats already hold. That means some of those anti-Trump votes will merely translate into larger victories for Democratic incumbents without producing any of the 23 additional seats the party needs to make Nancy Pelosi speaker again. But the best evidence of vulnerability for Trump and his party lies in the seats Republicans already hold. The survey shows Republicans leading by only a single percentage point in those districts. . ."

GA with all the blacks never went to obama but the left thought an old hag would ring them out and make GA blue.

The media then refused to call GA for hours even when it was obvious GA was staying republican, just like TX.

GOP will see increase in both houses!

This is a joke poll.

Just about everyone is cheesed about the mistreatment of Kavenaugh. Dems will pay big for this clown show.

>> “They must call the people you see interviewed on television who have no clue about anything.” <<

Yes they do!

Pollsters keep a roster of these goobers when they find them.

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

The 12 point lead was from Registered Voters.

With Likely voters, is was 8 points.

With “most interested” in the election it was 4 points.

4 points and with a Democratic over-sampling!

Harwood? More like “Rotten Wood”, “Peckered Wood” or “Termite-Eaten Wood”.

His credibility died many years ago but his stench lives on.

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

Yup. I laughed when I read the title because I was reminded of Steve Kornacki all excited in that YouTube video claiming Hillary was going to win in an epic blowout. These mainstream media leftists must think we have very short memories.

In Orange County CA the Rat Ads on TV attack the Republicans for Voting with Donald Trump, which is like a free Ad for the Republican, at least as far as I’m concerned.

They are also scaling back their Medicare for All (Single Payer) rhetoric in their Ads.

This one Moon Faced Rat running against Mimi Walters is always accusing Mimi of Voting to eliminate Pre Existing Conditions (?) and wanting to defund PP which will end a Woman’s access to “Birth Control” (cough, cough).

She is Katie Porter, a Law Professor at UCI (I think) and all her Ads show her driving an old Minivan around with her two Kids inside, the ones that survived I guess. Obviously she wants to show she is just a concerned Mommy barely getting by.

They are going to town to steal GOP Seats here and there are a lot of Pac’s supporting them. I hope they are unsuccessful.

My Rep is Dana Roherbacher and I have yet to see an Ad coming from his Campaign. OC went for Hillary so the days of thinking that People here support the GOP and it’s a Cake Walk to Reelection is over in Orange County.

I think Kavanaugh will make it. But if he didn’t why wouldn’t the limp waisted GOP be to blame when all they have to do is vote. They don’t speak up. They don’t fight. They don’t lead. They just cover their asses.

I doubt they called 4 people in Maine (Maine’s CD-2 is mostly small towns), 2 people in Vermont, 2 people is South Dakota or 6 people in CT CDs 2,4 or 5...

"The problem with this polling is that they tend to co-mingle the results nationwide. "

There are districts in LA, Philadelphia, Boston and NY that go 95% Democrat. Most Republican districts in flyover country are 55/45. The 12% number is meaningless.

Very good points.

McConnell should schedule the vote ASAP.

Heck, in Caliph-phony-a, the last two Senate races have been a semi-moderate Democrat versus a crazy Leftist "Democrat". Last time, the Leftist, Kamala "Not the Ugandan Giant" Harris, won. And if you've been following the Kavanaugh lynching, she's been front and center in the a$$ clown section.

This year, it's Chinese Dianne Feinstein versus Kevin "Ponce" de Leon. Lord have mercy on our state!

I’ve heard Vukmir ads on Minneapolis-St.Paul radio stations, you know, talking about her standing with Gov. Walker and being a Trump Republican. She’ll do well outstate even if she loses in the People’s Republic of Madistan.
