AP-GfK Poll: Most expect GOP victory in November

WASHINGTON (AP) — Two weeks before Election Day, most of the nation's likely voters now expect the Republican Party to take control of the U.S. Senate, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll. And by a growing margin, they say that's the outcome they'd like to see.

But the survey suggests many will cringe when they cast those ballots. Most likely voters have a negative impression of the Republican Party, and 7 in 10 are dissatisfied by its leaders in Congress.

The Democrats win few accolades themselves. Impressions of the party among likely voters have grown more negative in the past month. In fact, Democrats are more trusted than the GOP on just two of nine top issues, the poll showed.

The economy remains the top issue for likely voters — 91 percent call it "extremely" or "very" important. And the GOP has increased its advantage as the party more trusted to handle the issue to a margin of 39 percent to 31 percent.
Thanks Obama.
 
I already voted. Too bad I couldn't put a Dem on his or her ass.

Not real enthused with some of our current leaders on the Right but, certainly tired of the Left's ignorant leadership.
 
The man seems determined to interject himself and make this election about him, no matter how hard some of his party's candidates are trying to avoid him at all costs. He epitomizes arrogance.

BO was just on Al Sharpton's Radio Show and like he told Sharpton......one has to remember with the Demos avoiding him. That it is in States he lost. But the Bottomline is they ran on his platform.

Well he is okay at arrogance with those outside of Chicago.....here it is a different story.

Yeah I heard clips of him talking to the good Reverend. His narcissism was on full display. He can't stand that people aren't groveling at his feet, crying when he walks into a room, and worshipping him.

Priebus came out 2 days ago saying the Repubs will Absolutely win the Senate. They are not just looking at 6 seats.

He says the GOP has the ground game this time.....and they are still surging. Which the MS media has validated.
 
Much as I did not understand the GOP's strategy in 2012, I do not understand the Democratic strategy now. Why they are not pounding the successes of the last 6 years (growing economy, more jobs, lower deficits, advancement of civil rights, etc.) is beyond me. It's like they are so terrified to run on their own record of successes.

They deserve to lose this election based on terrible campaigning.

Agree 100%.

Republicans are running to fear and Democrats are running afraid.
 



Don't forget good Ole Harry.....its going to be nice seeing him grovelin' again. Like he was made to.


Larry Sabato: GOP Could Win Up to Eight Senate Seats

Republicans have a "strong and increasing chance to control the next Senate," says Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics, projecting that the GOP could take up to eight seats on Nov. 4. "Our projection remains a five- to eight-seat Republican gain in the Senate, and with less than three weeks to go, we would much rather be holding the cards Republicans have been dealt versus the ones dealt to the Democrats as both sides play for a Senate majority," Sabato writes in his latest "Crystal Ball" analysis.

Sabato said he still believes that the math makes it likely Republicans will hold the majority by one to three seats, but it's not yet clear which seats those will be. And as Democrats are focusing on protecting their incumbents rather than going after Republican seats, "that gives us further confidence that the Republicans will in fact add more seats to their majority, but probably not significantly more," said Sabato. "Our outlook remains a six-to-nine seat Republican net gain."

Eight seats would return the GOP to 242 seats, but a 13-seat gain would bring it to 247 seats, the largest majority since the 1928 election, said Sabato. Overall, Crystal Ball lists 232 races as leaning Republican, 189 Democratic, and 14 as tossups or leans. Of the latter 14, three are held by Republicans and 11 by Democrats.

Guess things just aren't showing all the alleged improvement with Change and Hope.....now they were just left with hope that they get to keep the Change in their Pockets. :lol:


New Poll Shows Democrats Have Never Been Lower.....


The American people have never registered a lower opinion of the Democratic Party, according to a new ABC News/Washington Post Poll. Just 39 percent of respondents told pollsters they have a favorable opinion of the Democratic Party, compared to 51 percent of respondents who view the Democrats unfavorably. No poll, including Gallup, New York Times, and CBS News numbers (with data going back to 1984), has ever shown the Democrats so disliked.

Republicans are even more unpopular, with just 33 percent of adults admitting to liking the party, but they have been lower and the narrow six-point gap between the two parties is close to the smallest it has been in years. Looking inside the numbers, it appears that Democratic support is crumbling for the same reason Republican favorability has been low for so long: the base is unhappy with the party. The WaPo poll also showed a strong advantage for Republicans on the generic congressional ballot. A full 50 percent of likely voters said they were planning to vote for Republican candidates this November, compared to just 43 percent who said they planned to vote for Democrats.....snip~

I'd like to see that bastard frog-marched all the way to Levenworth with ten life sentences to be serve consecutively.

It does keep getting worse for the Demos and their supporters. People can't stand these Democrats. They are tired of all the outright lying that just continues on.

Too bad for our system that most of the time we vote against something... Like, against Democrats...
I should say, I don't like neither of the parties, but I've got to vote for someone, and here comes this principle.
Don't you think the system needs to be changed?

Because people are smarter than you give them credit for. They know BS numbers and propaganda when they hear it. They've paid out the butt at the doctor's office, they still can't find the job they're qualified for, and that house of cards stock market is not benefitting them in the least. They see a flood of illegals about to water down their opportunities, their vote, and their say-so at every turn.

The reality of what liberalism truly is...it's setting in.

Well, you see, the difference between 1994 and 2014 is that now we have Him. :D

When you have a govt that's constant overreaching, all you can do is vote against something. :shrug:

Mornin Erod. :2wave: Not to mention that poverty rate stayed at 15% for the third year in a row. Another First for BO and his Team. Independents are walking away from the Democrats. They can see thru the BS. Plus now BO care hasn't proven to be the answer.

As a point of comparison, Fox's national survey released last week had the GOP ahead by a similar margin, 47-40. It's historically rare for Republicans to have any advantage on this indicator, so what explains their substantial edge here? How about a 30 point lead among independents, and an eight-point enthusiasm gap.....snip~

Momentum: New Wave of Polling Spells Big Trouble for Democrats - Guy Benson
 
Even woman are moving to support GOP. Obama's war on women is driving them away

From the OP link

Women have moved in the GOP's direction since September. In last month's AP-GfK poll, 47 percent of female likely voters said they favored a Democratic-controlled Congress while 40 percent wanted the Republicans to capture control. In the new poll, the two parties are about even among women, 44 percent prefer the Republicans, 42 percent the Democrats.

In all, the poll finds that 55 percent of likely voters now expect Republicans to win control of the Senate, up from 47 percent last month. Democrats have grown slightly more pessimistic on this count since September, with 25 percent expecting the GOP to take control now compared with 18 percent earlier.

Could be because most of that is not true.

Not real enthused with some of our current leaders on the Right but, certainly tired of the Left's ignorant leadership.

I think the perfect scenario is to win 52 seats while losing Mitch McConnell.

I think it needs to be changed, sure. But you need a greater agreement to make the change happen. I think like everyone else that money in national politics has gotten way out of hand, but the solution to that is to take the power out of the Federal government. Power is the commodity that is being sold in Washington. The only way to reduce the money is to reduce the commodity. If the government is no longer in the business of picking winners and losers then nobody pay pay extra to ensure they are the winners.

I think the biggest move to taking power out of Washington is simplifying the tax code and eliminating loopholes. The greatest power the Federal Government yields is the power to levy, and not levy taxes. If you simplify the tax code so that every person and every business can expect the exact same treatment under the tax code then half of the lobbyists are out of a job.

Expecting them to vote this power away is a pipe dream however.

I think of all the political groups with the will to push such a measure the Libertarians come closest, but unfortunately I think the Libertarian party is better suited for a Parliamentary form of government which I do not favor.

Hugh Hewitt had this to say. You remember him don't you.....he worked for Reagan's Judicial.



The “emperor’s new clothes” phase of the presidency couldn’t come at a worse time for President Obama as voters are even now receiving early absentee ballots for the 2014 midterm elections. This has become a foreign policy election, or more precisely, a referendum on President Obama’s handling of America’s foreign policy. The battle for the Senate is the proxy for a vote of no confidence in the president, and GOP candidates across the country are benefitting from the collective desire to march into the voting booth and deliver the stiffest rebuff possible to the golfing Commander-in-Chief.

This benefits Republicans who are trailing by a little but closing like Thom Tillis in North Carolina and Scott Brown in New Hampshire, as well as GOP nominees who have established small leads, like Cory Gardner in Colorado, or medium leads like Dan Sullivan in Alaska, Tom Cotton in Arkansas or Joni Ernst in Iowa. Candidates who are breaking away like Bill Cassidy in Louisiana and David Perdue in Georgia just need to keep the president’s collapse in leadership front and center while flanking each blast at his incompetence abroad with a reminder of Obamacare’s epic failures at home of Obamacare and the struggles of the economy staggering along under his regulatory agencies many faceted assault on American productivity. Even the longer shots like Mike McFadden in Minnesota in Minnesota and Ed Gillespie in Virginia don’t seem so long anymore. Who knows how deep the disgust goes?.....snip~

The Hugh Hewitt Show - Opinion and Information with a Unique Twist
 
Personally I'd like to see Cornyn gone from my state.

Well yeah, but we can't throw all the Republican bums out and still win the Senate. :2razz:

We need one sacrifice from the old guard and I think McConnell would send a bigger message than Cornyn.
 
Could be because most of that is not true.

Well sure, but since when do the Democrats abandon the happy lies?

I think the Democrats know that if they go full Baghdad Bob this election cycle they could kill their brand.
