Interesting as I am very concerned about the midterms and see strong possibility that we could lose the majority in both Houses...a recipe for disaster. Complacency is the last thing we need.

RNC poll finds GOP voters aren’t worried about midterms. That’s bad

An internal Republican National Committee survey that was leaked to Bloomberg Businessweek shows several worrying trends for Republicans as the midterm elections approach.

The polling, conducted by Public Opinion Strategies for the RNC, found that many Trump-supporting Republicans simply do not believe that Democrats have a chance of winning control of Congress in November. Republicans worry that this complacency might cause some GOP voters to stay home on Election Day while Democratic voters turn out in force. If that happens, consider the Trump agenda dead in Congress.

Here are the most worrisome findings, reported by Businessweek:

    Fully half of self-identified Republicans don’t believe Democrats are likely to win back the House. And within that group, 57 percent of people who describe themselves as strong Trump supporters don’t believe Democrats have a chance (37 percent believe they do). …

    Overall, 71 percent of respondents said it was ‘extremely’ or ‘somewhat likely’ that Democrats would prevail in November, vs. 25 percent who disagreed. …

    A generic congressional ballot shows the Democratic candidate leading the Republican by 9 points. …

    The RNC study also finds “a wide gender gap and generation gap,” with the Democrat favored by women of all ages and also by men aged 18-44. Only men older than 45 preferred the Republican candidate, by a 15-point margin. The study notes, “the Democrat(ic) party holds an image advantage over the GOP.”

“If overconfident Republican voters stay home, Democrats could win a landslide,” Josh Green writes. “The report urges GOP officials to yank their voters back to reality: ‘We need to make real the threat that Democrats have a good shot of winning control of Congress.'”.........
