Democrats’ hopes of ‘blue wave’ dashed as polls bring great news for Republicans

BPR: Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.

As the 2018 midterms loom, Republicans are bolstered by a string of new polls that show significant improvement for both the party in general and President Trump, The Hill reports.

In mid December, Democrats enjoyed a 15-point advantage on the generic ballot in a Monmouth University poll. That lead shrunk to 2 percent in a new poll by Monmouth released on Wednesday.

“In a look ahead to 2018, Democrats currently hold a negligible edge on the generic Congress ballot,” the report read. “If the election for House of Representatives were held today, 47% of registered voters say they would vote for or lean toward voting for the Democratic candidate in their district compared to 45% who would support the Republican.”

President Trump has also enjoyed a spike in approval. Monmouth’s Wednesday poll showed a 10-point climb in the president’s approval rating over last month.  read more

  1. It’s a question of “Would you vote for some imaginary ‘it’ that gets listed as ‘acceptable’ by the Democratics? Or some imaginary ‘it’ that gets listed as ‘acceptable’ by the Republicans?”. (Prole “choice”? Stop! I’m gonna’… too late.) Who here doubts the Republican’s ability to find candidates to commit public acts of love for “yet to be documented” immigration, even more than the Democrat they’re listed against? Think they’ll have trouble buying candidates that promise to match all the free chit the Democrat promises, but three months later? How about candidates to promise to cut everybody’s taxes, while spending more, and slippin’ even more sumpin’ sumpin’ the the local chamber of commerce (that his non-gendered spouse just happens to run)? “Republicans. Snatching defeat from the jaws of defeat. For… ever. I mean For great justice!“.
