A Crush Of New Polls Show Democrats In A Free Fall
The Revolutionary Act ^ | 10/08/18

Posted on 10/08/2018 11:18:05 AM PDT by Liberty7732

If there is a silver lining in the tragic farce wrought on the nation by the Democratic Party in the Judge Brett Kavanaugh nomination hearings it is this: Regular Americans are recoiling at the shocking spectacle and Democrat support is plummeting.

Every new poll coming out is uniformly showing middle Americans fleeing from the Democrats while a once-mildly apathetic Republican Party has been ginned up to energetic levels equal to the Democratic base.

Further trouble for the much-hyped blue wave is that black voters are trending against Democrats, participating in the #walkaway movement and viewing the Kavanaugh moment very differently from white Democrats. Given the reliance of the Democratic Party on the monolithic black vote, this portends disaster for blue — but possible salvation for the nation.

An NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll released last week found that the enthusiasm gap between Democrats and Republicans has been erased. The poll asked registered members of each party if they believe the election is “very important.” The gap was running 10-15 points since mid-summer in favor of Democrats. Now it is at 2 points, well within the margin of error, as GOP enthusiasm increased 12 points.

The most recent IBD/TIPP poll also found that the Democrats’ 11-point advantage in the generic ballot was essentially gone. It’s now down to 2 points. The poll also found that President Trump gained four points in his approval rating, and 7 points in the Presidential Leadership Index. It’s an improvement at least in part by way of contrast with the horrible sight of the Democratic left.

The newest Quinnipiac poll, which leans left, found that the Democratic generic congressional ballot advantage has been cut in half. And since mid-September, the Real Clear Politics average of polls showed Trump’s approval climbing more than three points.

And buried in a Quinnipiac poll are some numbers that should rock Democrats back on their heals: Two weeks ago, white women were favoring Democrats on a generic congressional ballot by 13 points. One week later it was down to five points. In the latest poll, it is at one point. These are the vaunted suburban female voters that Democrats having been targeting because of their supposed discomfort with Trump. But it turns out they have sons and husbands and watching what happened to Brett Kavanaugh has not sat well.

Individual race polls are also tracking strongly the same direction.

In the Missouri Senate race, Republican Josh Hawley now leads incumbent Sen. Claire McCaskill — with virtually all of the movement coming in reaction to the Kavanaugh hearings. In North Dakota, Republican Kevin Cramer now has a huge lead over Sen. Heidi Heitkamp in two polls — 10 percent and 12 percent. In Indiana, Democratic Sen. Joe Donnelly has a one point lead over Republican Mike Braun. It was six points two weeks ago. (This race includes a Libertarian, which is often a spoiler for Republicans.)

A recent YouGov poll showed Republican Rep. Marsha Blackburn with an eight point lead over former Democratic Gov. Phil Bredesen for the open Tennessee seat. This seat was targeted by the Democrats as a pickup possibility.

Republican pollster Chris Wilson says she’s seen Republican polling gains in Arizona, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota and Texas — just in one week, according to the McClatchy news service.

Meanwhile, the National Republican Congressional Committee reported late last week that its small-dollar donations ballooned 175% over the previous week — again, largely based on the Kavanaugh hearings. This means more than just the money increase, it goes directly to the rising GOP voter enthusiasm in the most tangible way.

And finally, what may or may not be being captured is the trend by black voters. Blacks have been warming up to Trump slowly but steadily despite the avalanche of daily racist bromides by the Democrat media establishment.

Trump’s approval rating among black voters in the latest Rasmussen Poll, which leans right, is 35 percent. It was 23 percent at the same time last year, and 17 percent when Trump was elected. An NAACP poll shows a 21 percent level of support among blacks for Trump, compared to seven percent in November 2016. These show real and solid movement.

It turns out that blacks may have watched the #IBelieveHer affair in an entirely different light from other Democrat voters — the light of Emmett Till and a legacy of black men being lynched based solely on the word of a white woman. FYI, all by Democrats.

The surge at every level is apparent. And with only one month until the election, this momentum shift could be very real by the end of the day Nov. 8.

The Democrats are in possession of stolen goods. Remember the Facebook and Google breaches? That data in now in the possession of the data. To be used in 2018/20 elections.

It sure doesn’t stack up to how many mostly GOP whites have been killed or raped by predatory black democrats since the late 1960s

The meme you alluded to....blacks lynched by whites after rape accusations is a very political topic and usually it’s a bullet point for the Left

Best I could glean from totally non objective sources is somewhere between 100-400 blacks were lynched in the USA after rape accusation from 1881-1960

Since 1965 tens of 1000s whites killed by blacks.....most of those blacks were ostensibly democrats

MI, WI, and PA seem lost on the conservative screen this year after narrow wins in 2016.

Sorry for your lost votes, but MA voters are in competition with many other states for making the worst voting choices.

I am pointing to a political point. These killers are all Demons and people need to be hammered over the head with the fact that these were/are Demons. Both those of the past and those of today.

There is no doubt that Black crime is rampant and has reached very dangerous proportions.

The Republicans could have kicked out Hillary Clinton running mate Tim Kaine for Virginia’s Senate seat, but the establishment RINOs that run the state party have stabbed the duly elected Republican Corey Stewart in the back because he is a conservative. Both the state and national parties have not given a dime to Stewart’s campaign. The national RSCC is actually using a “oppose Tim Kaine” fundraising pitch, but won’t give a cent to the elected Republican candidate Stewart.

Yet they are pumping millions to reelect Never-Trumper Barbara Comstock (VA 10th) who is so out of touch with conservative politics and the Republican voter that she will lose bigly a seat held by Republicans for 46 years.

The Virginia Republican party is run by the elites who live in gated communities and oppose every conservative no matter that they were chosen by the people in primaries.

Oliver North, Ken Cuccinelli, two attorney generals, AND Donald Trump - all lost because the ruling class Republicans told the electorate to go to hell because they wanted control of the party. They actually supported and endorsed the democrat candidates.

I would point out to you that all black men accused of rape by white women were not all innocent regardless their party affiliation

Declaring we’re less racist than they are will fall on deaf ears

There is no need to remind me of anything along these lines, far from it.

Our job is to make sure this isn’t peaking too early, that this movement continues.

Obama had very weak opposition, both times

Bear in mind that we can barely tolerate our GOPee globalist crony-capitalist sellouts. Can't imagine why someone even less conservative could stomach the likes of McCain and Romney. We only got Kavenaugh because a bunch of us told the pubbies running the Senate they had too choices, take bullets from the front - from the opposition - or take bullets from behind, from us. We must have been rather convincing because, for once, we got her done.

He is the perfect candidate to cut an ad that starts by invoking Emmitt Till and other black men who were lynched on false rape allegations. Note that the Democrats’ behavior towards Justice Kavanaugh show they have learned nothing over the six decades since Emmitt Till. He needs to conclude with “I want to go to Washington to put a stop to it.”
