Republicans take largest generic ballot polling lead ever (since 1942)
   
Edited on Mon Aug-30-10 06:22 PM by Kurt_and_Hunter
The "generic ballot" question is used every mid-term.

"Do you plan to vote for a Democrat or Republican?"

Democrats always have to lead this poll because we have a natural advantage of up about 5%. That's our break-even level. So any Republican lead is a bad, bad thing. For instance, in 1994 pugs got a 5% lead and took congress. (We vote a little less regularly and we are more concentrated in our safe districts. Lots of "wasted" Dem votes in cities.)

Gallup today reports that for the first time in the history of this polling set (since the polling series started in 1942) Republicans lead Democrats by 10%.

Republicans have never led by double digits before. (Dems, on the other hand, had a 32 point advantage right before Nixon resigned... which is probably why Nixon was encouraged out by congressional pugs)

God only knows what congressional Dems will do in response. Probably a curcular firing squad of some sort, but I hope there will be some call for a major economic initiative. Probably wouldn't pass or help much in the election, but it's better than appearing to do nothing.

There are some interesting graphs and charts that don't allow much repudiation.

I guess there is a point of agreement between DU and CC.

I think even our Most Gerrymandered District in the country is scared of losing. I have been venturing into the local lib web sites and finding that the comments are not so liberal by 5 to 1. Most comments site data and proof.  However, the leftist comments are mostly spittle filled rants about racists..eek FAUX News, eeek squakkkk mean,  squuuuuuak racist.

It gives me hope.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

10. Democrats will start airing their campaign ads this next month
   
Things will probably change quite a bit in the next couple of months. Obama will also be hitting the Campaign Trail and we know what kind of campaigner he is.. Don't give up just yet..two months is a long time in politics.

:lmao:

And what will these ads say? and yes, please let Obama hit the campaign trail, we see how well that worked in NJ, Virginia and Massachusetts.

Indeed - the last thing congressional Dems need is to remind their voters that a vote for them is a vote for Obama's agenda.   :rotf:

Most, if not all, Democrats want to be as far as possible from Obama this election (and probably the next two election cycles).

Yeah, about that.

Bill Bennett's ad against Ken Buck using videos of a campaign stop by Buck actually makes me want to vote for Buck.

Alvin Greene would probably like to see him campaigning for him ....other than him... can't think of a soul sole.
