1. We're doing a horse race already?

Wait till the summer. I've seen enough of this shit from the last go around. I guess someone needs clicks, not doing it. Besides, did they ask Russia what the spread is?

[regnaD kciN]

32. Seems to me that, if we were going to "Wait till the summer" (sic)...

...we should likewise have refrained from touting Donnie's miserable favorability ratings or our generic ballot lead all last year, as they were equally meaningless.

Live by the polls, die by the polls.

2. If this was true, a Democrat wouldn't have flipped a solid red FL district last night by 7 points.

[Vinnie From Indy]

3. Nice Post history!

How is the weather in Olgino?

[bearsfootball516]

4. No kidding, nothing but pro-GOP stuff.

[NightWatcher]

5. Just did jury duty on the OP. How does one notify MIRT?

This Putinesque shit stirring is unwelcome here.

[seaglass]

31. Here's the current MIR team - just Inbox someone you know.

6. "GOP now have take the LEAD"

[vercetti2021]

7. Trashing

I do not believe this whatsoever. We wouldn't have won all these deep red seats if this was the truth.

[hatrack]

8. спасибо!

11. +1

9. Well, I Guess I Just Won't Bother To Vote This Fall

Trump's approval rating was above 40 for 15 minutes in 3 out of 9 polls. And, 6 or 7 points is still huge, even if not the "dreaded" double digits. (And it's so far from election day, the double digit predictions were dubious.

The Hill needs to take a pill, and you should not post obviously distorted information here.

13. The Polls Have To Make Things Look Close So When....

the Repugs steal the Nov 2018 election it won't look suspicious.

Remember, last week Tillerson and now yesterday the IC community panel said Russia will interfere with this election. Both of these give cover to the Repugs in the individual states to do anything possible to win for the Repugs. Then when they do win - they can point to two things - it wasn't us - it was the Russians and the polls were pretty even and we gained momentum going into the Nov election.

The Repugs will go all out to keep their power base. I know we're all hoping for a Blue Wave - even a Blue Tsunami. But watch for massive cheating to go on in this Nov election. The Repugs will be bringing out their surfboards.

16. Except That. . .

. . .excluding this article and a couple of bounce polls, there is no evidence that the tide is shifting.

That's why i don't think this post should stay in GD.

18. We As Dems Need To Be Mindful That The Possibility That I Bring Up In My Post.....

exists. We can't bury our heads in the sand and not take this possibility seriously.

We need to be sure we mobilize our people to GOTV in droves like we never done before.

The more we mobilize our troops to GOTV the harder it is for either the Russians to influence this election or the Repugs to steal it.

This GOTV message needs to be loud and clear and it needs to start now and up to Nov. It needs to be shouted by all our Dems in both the House and Senate and all our Dems in each and every State. It also needs to be taken up by each and every one of us common folk Dems and we all need to urge our friends, family and colleagues - and our Repug neighbors, friends and colleagues - of the importance of this Nov election and what it means to our Democracy going forward.

29. And I notice you never mention anything positive...bring up Bernie and Hillary (divisive), bring up

Trumps popularity as well as Bush II's...opine that a 'centrist (the horror) will win the nomination (more division). It is pretty clear what is happening here. How about a post that inspires people to fight hard to win in 18 and 20.

[NCTraveler]

12. What trend?

“but there is a trend here that's become somewhat concerning“

I see a “concerning” trend as well.

I don’t think you will be able to resist much longer. It’s pretty transparent. Next up will be a Stockholm op.

[FSogol]

14. LOL, What does JPR think about this?

[BumRushDaShow]

17. I noticed some JPRers have returned here the past week or two. nt

[FSogol]

22. Yup, all ready to divide us for the 2018 midterms.

Hope DU wises up this time around.

[Demsrule86]

25. They are just as much the enemy as any Republicans...JPR types. Most are no longer

Democrats and didn't vote for Hillary in the General. They don't belong here.

[LongTomH]

19. This should just make us work harder for our Democratic candidates!

[Proud Liberal Dem]

20. I don't get it

Trump is an ongoing flaming dumpster fire that is only getting worse, Congressional Republicans haven't accomplished much other than massive(ly) unpopular 1.5T tax cut that is geared towards the wealthy and are still pushing unpopular policies, Democrats are cleaning up in special elections in previously hardcore Trump/GOP bastions, and lots of GOP Congressmen and Senators are retiring after this year. Doesn't seem like a recipe for success in 2018 midterms to me.

[Lee-Lee]

23. This is a national poll and therefore mostly meaningless

Because a whole, whole lot of those votes are in deeply red gerrymandered districts.

Those depended districts will skew the national average but any upticks in them are meaningless to the overall outcome.

Polls only in districts that are in play are what matter. As recent special election results have shown that tells another tale.

[Demsrule86]

24. You do know this is Democratic Underground right? Politico is an outlier. What is the purpose of

even posting this? We are going to trounce all Republicans in the coming elections. I remember your posts about how Bush II's approval ratings are up as well as Trumps...hmm.

[NCTraveler]

26. Your generic dose of reality.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=10228062

Sorry about that.

[beachbum bob]

27. been no loss of mementum...as ALL the special elections have shown, just bullcrap

democrats are energized AND ANGRY

[padah513]

28. Let them believe the fake polls

I'll believe the results of all the special elections we keep winning in repuglican districts.

[pnwmom]

30. The sample has only 32% Hillary 2016 voters vs. 39% Trump voters and 10% other.

What a lousy sample.

P. 272 in the Cross tabs.

[renegade000]

34. Ah there's the devil in the details...

That would explain it. That's a pretty unrealistic demo for the midterms this year...

[ananda]

33. This is designed to set us up to once again tolerate ..

.. voter fraud, voter suppression, and Russian hacking/interference.

[ornotna]

35. You're a regular Debbie Downer

You need to lighten up tovarishch.

[LexVegas]

36. Nice, Comrade!

[emulatorloo]

38. Look ten threads above yours. PPP shows Dems leading by 8 points

PPPolling finds Democrats leading the generic Congressional ballot by 8 points

40. Nah

43. Guess you won't make this mistake again, then

I never understood the point of posting outliers

[BoneyardDem]

42. so, the "fall on our swords" team has come out to play at DU...no thanks

as mentioned up thread, sometime posting history is a huge "tell".
