Nine polls from this week that have Republicans excited
By T. Becket Adams | September 19, 2014 | 3:08 pm



The 2014 November midterm elections are nearly here, and Democratic and Republican candidates across the country are bracing for the inevitable conclusion to months of campaigning.

But even as certain forecast models downgrade the GOP’s chances for taking Congress’ upper chamber, several recent polls signal that Republicans will indeed walk away from November with many victories and perhaps a Senate majority.



Here are the top nine polls from this week that hint at good news for the GOP:

Colorado:

In a Quinnipiac survey released Thursday, Rep. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., holds a 48 percent to 40 percent lead over Democratic Sen. Mark Udall, a figure that likely has Democratic strategists scrambling.

“It's a tight race, was always going to be that way. Internals have been steady, no wild swings like you see in the news,” Udall’s campaign manager, Adam Dunstone, tweeted. “Lots of noise this week, but all internals since March have Udall leading, with last two 47/42 & 48/42. Onward!”


The same poll showed former Rep. Bob Beauprez, R-Colo., on pace to defeat Colorado’s Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper, up by a full 10 points.

Iowa:

On Wednesday, Quinnipiac released its latest poll of Iowa. It showed state Sen. Joni Ernst, a Republican, leading U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley, D, 50 percent to 44 percent. This was by far her best poll of the year, and it comes after a long barrage of negative advertising aimed at the largely untested Ernst.

Louisiana:

On September 14-16, Fox News polled the Pelican State and found Rep. Bill Cassidy, R-La., with a healthy 51 percent to 38 percent lead over Louisiana’s embattled incumbent Sen. Mary Landrieu.

Wisconsin:

The new Marquette University Law School poll — the poll known for calling the 2012 gubernatorial recall election correctly — came out Monday. It found Gov. Scott Walker, R-Wis., in a much better position than before. He currently holds a 49 percent to 46 percent lead over Democratic businesswoman Mary Burke.

Florida:

Also this week, a WFLA/SurveyUSA poll found Florida’s embattled Republican governor, Rick Scott, leading the party-hopping former Gov. Charlie Crist, D, by five points, 44 to 39 percent.

Ohio:

A Columbus Dispatch poll released on Sunday found Gov. John Kasich, R-Ohio, set to annihilate his opponent, Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald. With FitzGerald suffering under the weight of his own scandals, Kasich currently leads with an astounding 59 percent to FitzGerald's 29 percent.

Georgia:

Going into last weekend, Insider Advantage Polling survey showed Republican businessman David Perdue with a ten point lead over his Democratic opponent, Michelle Nunn, in the for Georgia’s open Senate.

Obama, Obamacare, Immigration:

Elsewhere, recent surveys underscore the president’s unpopularity, public disapproval for the Affordable Care Act, and outrage over the White House’s underwhelming response to the growing immigration crisis.

Obama’s approval rating currently rests at 42 percent, according to Gallup's most recent data.

Further, distaste for Obamacare remains high among U.S. voters. Forty-seven percent of Americans say they disapprove of Obamacare, while only 35 percent say they approve, according to the most recent survey data from the Kaiser Family Foundation. Current disapproval for the president's major health care law is about what it was during the HealthCare.gov debacle in December 2013.

Finally, nearly two-thirds of respondents in states with important midterm races say they disapprove of the president’s handling of the immigration crisis, according to a Politico survey published September 15. This indicates discontent on both sides, meaning that at least the issue is unlikely to be a trump card for the Democrats in November.

Still, Democrats have a few reasons to keep their chins up. Recent surveys signal that some Democratic lawmakers, including Sen. Kay Hagan, D-N.C., and Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., may win reelection and fend off stiff Republican challenges.

"Reports of the demise of the Democratic Party are premature, they are very premature,” Vice President Joe Biden said Friday.
