Indeed, the Republicans' 51 percent to 41 percent for Democrats on the generic ballot poll represents the largest Republican edge heading into a midterm election since the poll was first conducted in the 1942 election cycle, giving them greater reason for optimism than in the weeks leading up to their 1952 and 1994 House takeovers. It also represents a stunning reversal from the 6-point lead Democrats posted in the poll mid-July.

Worse for Democrats, the news comes after they've spent most of the last month on the campaign trail, touting their accomplishments for local communities and trying to remind voters of what life was like when George W. Bush was president.

The message that things are better than they could be hasn’t exactly been a winner with voters.

Answer 1

Do not be deceived the left has the media and a lot of money.

But the voters will determined the elections.

We all know certain states try and do cheat AKA Ill., Ca. and La for starters.

So we also know a major attack is coming from the left with a ton of money some of it yours.

Answer 2

For either party, Republican or Democrat, winning an election has to be done one vote at a time. Neither party can afford to take a victory for granted, even a small victory.



The best hope America has at this time is that the voters will care and will look beneath the veneer to see what substance candidates are made of. As a Republican, I am praying for substance in my candidates, and that--if elected--they will follow through with what they offer.



George W. Bush has to share some of the blame for the problems America faces, but not all of it is on his shoulders, nor should it be. Congress, most of the time Republican-led, failed Americans far more than did the President. Bush deserves much of the credit for keeping our country safe from further terrorist attacks after 9/11.



After his nearly two years in office Obama has yet to show me that he can effectively lead this country in the right direction. A Republican Congress could diffuse the damage he is capable of doing to America.



Those of us who care, who want America to return to its core values, to remain a strong, safe and secure nation should not only vote for the candidates who promise that--regardless of party--we should demand that once they are elected they do what they have promised.



Federal debt, Social Security, national defense, and a just America should be the goal of every voter and every elected official.

Answer 3

It will be interesting. I will not vote GOP because I don't think they are offering anything at this point.



Their party is being taken over by the right wing, and frankly they just have not been solution driven at all.



I was especially offended by the remark last week that if they were to get the majority, there would be lots and lots of investigations of the Dems, etc. So, they would spend millions on special investigations. Is THAT their solution? Sorry, but the self absorption is just astounding.

Answer 4

even my staunchest and closest conservative friends acknowledge the last economic fallout was a direct result of poor republican leadership, and they hold that leadership accountable.



they do NOT agree w/ the current agenda of the this administration, but, have heard nothing different from this current group of candidates.



the question likely asked in this poll was probably:



"....who are you most disappointed in..."



and the poll went to "likely voters"



which, historically has excluded minorities and women who are "less likely to vote in mid-term elections"



am i the only one who remembers hillary being up in the pols by some 20 points in the last primary?



november is coming, and nothing is done til it's done...



let's see what happens...but i really don't see a likely turnover...rather,

voters being reminded (daily) of the economic bus being driven to the edge of the cliff...



i'm puttin my car in "D" ...



we know where "R" gets us...

Answer 5

Republicans haven't been so confident since Dewey beat Truman.

Answer 6

No, they don't need to. I've never voted for Generic have you?
