WashPo/ABC News Poll Has Ominous News For Democrats

Despite the headlines about an eight-point advantage for Democrats in the generic congressional ballot, the detailed results of today’s Washington Post/ABC News poll should make most Democratic Party leaders and their billionaire benefactors sweat.

First, the eight-point gap represents a five-point drop from the same poll just three weeks ago, when Democrats had a 13-point advantage. (Like most polls, the sample favors Democrats by six points among registered voters.)

But even more ominous for Democrats is how specific voting blocs responded. If Democrats are going to win control of the House, they need to pull votes from independent women and women in the suburbs, and support for the generic Democratic congressional candidate has dropped significantly among these two groups. Independent women now are split between Republicans and Democrats; this is a seismic shift from the results of its October poll, which gave Democrats a 33-point lead in this group. Further, Democratic women appear less likely to vote than Democratic men, Republican men, and Republican women.

Suburban women now favor a Democratic candidate by 11-points, a lead that’s been cut in half since last month. Since many of the Republican toss-ups and “lean Democratic” seats are located in suburban areas, this could portend trouble for Democrats. At the same time, the GOP has made big gains among non-college white men and rural residents.

It's been the same m.o. for the last several elections in the congressional polls. Starts out with big 'blue wave' leads for Dems, then shrinks to tossups, and finally little tidbits like these buried at the very end.

I'm hoping we bury these SOB's Tuesday.

The whole damn MSM and polls is a scam. I just thought this should be pointed out. Some of the membership here is turning into the hand wringing set.

I can only hope there is more pain and suffering coming for the left... They've earned it...

Whether it works or not I like that someone finally gave a damn about an off year election and did something about it.

If you are not excited about your own post why should anyone else be?

We need a spinning thumb gif that randomly stops in any direction each time it is loaded. A "magic eight ball" for comments...

Doesn't Over the Rainbow Software have an app for that? I think it's called Thumbware...

True. Past presidents have sat on their  during the midterms. This guy is flat working.

No question this election is all about Trump.  I attended for the first time in my life a rally by a president.  Saw Trump with 70,000 - 80,000 people at an airport hangar.  The enthusiasm was incredible.  It was a wonderful day.

Republicans gain 4 seats in the Senate and hold a narrow majority in the House.  All in all, it will be a great day!

Drudge had on some story how an exit poll had many voters saying they don't approve of the Presidents performance and it influenced how they voted. It is just a press story to ignore. Just what I heard so come on Republicans...

[TomSea]

Drudge has Cruz-Beto absolutely see-sawinh

I hope Gov. Walker can win, I don't really feel good about that race.
