Generic Congressional Ballot GOP Expands Congressional Lead to 5 Points:
Rasmussen ^ | 08/19/2022 | Rasmussen

Posted on 08/19/2022 3:16:51 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

The 2022 midterm elections are now 81 days away, and Republicans have a five-point lead in their bid to recapture control of Congress.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that, if the elections for Congress were held today, 46% of Likely U.S. Voters would vote for the Republican candidate, while 41% would vote for the Democrat. Just four percent (4%) would vote for some other candidate, but another eight percent (8%) are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Baris’ show today was quite good. He talks about Fox News polls being awful and gives examples.

This is a strange poll result since the MSM is trumpeting the awesome legislative agenda success of the Biden Adminstration; that Joe’s approval is soaring and the D’s have jumped back in the lead in the congressional ballot race.

Almost as if the past 19 months had never happened.

Yes! Absolutely! Richard Baris is the man. People pundit and Trafalgar are VERY top pollsters! Worry when they have the Democrats leading that’s when you run outside with your hair on fire! For now we are winning in the polls!! He was saying that we must stop McConnell who wants to lose the Senate and is already stopping funds to some of the candidates that are so close in beating the rat candidate. This bastard is evil! So if you can send money to all those tough Senate races. We need to outfox the bastard. He is intentionally starving $$$$$ our MAGA candidates from winning cause he can’t have none of them in HIS HOUSE! Evil bastard! Screw him!

But stupid Newsweek had the Democrats up a half a point.

Rasmussen didn't get the memo. The media are now reporting that the Democrats are surging ahead and the Republicans are going down - largely because Trump candidates are winning. The media, once again, will be wrong and the polls, except Trafalgar, Susquehanna, and Baris' Big Data Poll are garbage.

true. But what we need is an overwhelming victory, like the Cheney ass-kicking, to take it beyond. cheat range.

this House vote is probably the most important in decades...because its almost even now..and a huge wave like in 2010, 64 seats, ..it could takes the Dems 20 years to get back in control. 1994 and 2010 were huge, but because it wasn’t even like now, the dems could take it back much easier. Real Clear politics already has the Republicans at 222...its won..but its gotta be run up huge.

To the generic naysayers, republicans gain seats when they are minus 2 in the generic or better, simply put the demos have more votes amassed in cities. The generic is very telling. The 94 sweep only had Republicans 2 points ahead

Sounds great, but that doesn’t account for the fraud that will take place. Just look at Pennsylvania now having to count mail-in ballots with no date.

I just don’t want people to get complacent

The only poll that counts is what happens on Election Day
