Blue Wave Receding? New Marist Poll Shows Democratic Advantage in Congressional Midterms Plummeting

It had reached a high of +13, but now it's fallen to about half that, +6.

Wait until the Democrats shut down the American government to keep foreigners illegally in-country.

And the economy's still heating up. It hasn't hit top heat yet.

So maybe the Democrats should stop s***ing each other's d***s.

Nah. It's what they love.

Thursday's poll found more welcome news for Republicans among registered voters who identify as Independents.

Among those voters, Republicans led by 2 points, with 38 percent of those voters saying they’d vote for the GOP candidate, while 36 percent said the Democratic candidate. In December, polling found that Democrats were leading among Independent voters by 11 points.

Ed Morrissey points out that Democrats also tend to underperform their polls in midterm elections.

The blue wave might be a wash-out.

99 Dems have fallen in love with the 'inevitability play'. That is, people will vote for those they think are going to win, or stay home if their guy is likely to lose.

I am of two minds about the efficacy of this type of thing. On the one hand, Trump. On the other hand, I think this does have some kind of effect.

Would be kind of interesting to see the results if polls were outlawed for say four years. No info, everyone who is going to vote just votes for whomever they think is the best person (or dragonkin in the case of Seattle.)

OK, apologies for that, but I was virtually obliged to do that one (and someone above probably beat me to it), but I've been shooting all day and just checking in.


None of us can foretell the future. Forecasting things like mid-term elections is one of the more impossible of the generally impossible things to predict. So the Moron suggesting we hit the panic button may be vindicated.


In a way, this is sort of like medium-term financial market forecasts. You do the best you can with fundamentals, past performance, and common sense, and maybe crank in some game-changers/black swans to generate different scenarios.


Before this Marist thing came out, that approach - for me - has not yielded anything close to panic. More, frustration. The GOP's fate is soooooo much in their own hands - far more than is generally the case. They have a president who is popular (yep, I think he is, based on policies - same reason he was elected, policies, not personality), whose stuff is working very well (and amazingly quickly), who's got a generally very popular agenda, most of which is still untouched.


If things continue as they are, I can easily see a major GOP victory in the mid-terms - bigger than 2002, of course far below 2010.

179 [Sorry, somewhat repeating myself from the past couple of days:]

If Trump arrests and prosecutes public officials in sanctuary cities and states, I think he can really re-ignite turnout (perhaps on both sides), but especially those many (like libertarians) who have given up and tuned-out owing to the #RulingClass literally getting away with murder.

Man, would that -- and, even better, a lot of Dem perp walks after FISAgate breaks -- be refreshing and generate enthusiasm among the #ForgottenMan.

Type A is the worst.. it is the fast mutating type.. flu shots are rarely effective with this type..

As far as Zinc goes.. You need to take it as a preventative.. or when you first start feeling symptoms.. starting it after a couple days is too late...

273 Thoughts on whether or not it would be a good idea for Trump to campaign in 2018 for R's in close races, and whether he should play it safe by sticking with even squish R's or campaign for good conservative challengers in the primaries?

I'm an all-or-nothing risk-taker type, so I'd love to see him campaign actively for many Congresscritters in 2018, especially conservative challengers to squish incumbents who pledge to support him and his agenda. [But I know this strategy is risky and could backfire.]

personal feelings in public.

========================

That's part of the problem with a parliamentary system. The voters liked Churchill, but loathed his Baldwin-Chamberlain Conservative Party. With good reason. There was no love for Clement Attlee, but the Conservative Party needed a housecleaning. After the next General Election, Churchill and the Conservatives were back in power.

371 I'm more anxious about flu this year than usual. Especially after NL wife. So here are some fun facts.

Flu is spread from person to person by respiratory (nose and throat) droplets released into the air by talking, coughing, sneezing, laughing, or singing. Touching an object that has flu virus on it, and then touching one’s own eyes, nose, or mouth can also spread flu. Most healthy adults can infect others from one day before symptoms are present and up to seven days after becoming sick. Some people, especially young children and people with weakened immune systems, might be able to infect others for an even longer time.


Xxxxxxxx
Obviously you can't hibernate. But I avoid fast food, using paper money; I wear gloves, and watch closeness to people.

I had a flu years ago that I swear almost killed me. Took months and months to recover. Killed others. So it haunts me to this day. Also, wipe down your phone and try not to loan out. Don't be touching your face. Sounds like a lot, but it becomes second nature.

416 I've been talking about the unimaginably wonderful windfall of the Dems choosing illegal aliens as the hill to die on for a year or more. Shut-down theater is one form this could take.


I'm starting to think that one partial explanation for this unbelievably idiotic possible approach by the Dems is their assessment that the GOP is so uninterested in actually governing, in accomplishing anything, so fanatically committed to doing nothing and just staying in office via inertia, that they think the GOP will fail to exploit this historically unprecedented offer of political suicide.


If this is their assessment, it's sort of like Saddam in 1990, or the Japanese military in the first half of 1945. The gamble they are taking isn't insane, or completely irrational - it's just a long-shot.

417 I have read you want to get Tamiflu in first 24 - 48 hours. If you can't get into doc, got to an Outpatient clinic. Many have rapid flu tests.

If I get sick, I am getting in and getting tamiflu toot sweet. I have never done tamiflu before, but this year is different. Yea, that one flu years ago, scared the crap outta me. I have had the flu a lot in life, no biggie, same old, same old. But this one was on a whole different level. So sorry I' ve been banging on about protecting yourselves, but I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

The flu shot did not contain the right strains for the 2 major ones going around this year either. Though it is supposed to protect you from lessor strains.

464 How can one be ordered to volunteer?

Well, when your annual performance review is dependent on it...

I don't know when it started in industry. I suspect it's the descendant of "voluntary" donations to United Way -- executives apparently compete with each other over how much their people donate, so it became more expected than voluntary. That practice caught some heat, so now it's "show how the company gives back to the community" with mandatory volunteering.

All the while the same managers are walking around bug-eyed because we're "behind" on schedules they pulled out of their asses.

Maybe if they cancelled all the pep rallies, we'd have time to do our work?

His kids talk about how he would take the to the sites when they were young to meet the working men. I was impressed by that. It all started with our baby boomer Presidents when you think about it...this contempt for the working man, and the laws of our land. It is not lost on me that Trump is 70 yo and predates the baby boomer crowd.

473 If you're looking for a mask to keep germs out of your nose and mouth, look for an "N95 respirator." It's only a surgical-looking mask, but has a few little internal crimps to make it fit closer.

"Surgical" masks are to protect other people from you. They don't do much to filter the air you breathe because they have big gaps at the sides.

A real gas mask with a standard particulate filter won't help much more. To get serious, you'd use the same mask with an ABC/NBC filter (I haven't seen a "CBS" yet). Because NATO, they all fit the masks. All available, if you shop around the preppier corners of the 'netz.

Apparently it IS lost on you, because with June of 1946, Trump is the very definition of baby boomer. The first, real, one, not the ad-man's phony extension. You don't like all people born in a certain time period, fine, your choice. You don't get to redefine the times, though.

476 Posted by: Stringer Davis at January 18, 2018 10:21 PM (H5rtT)


Oh geez Stringer. I didn't mean to give offense. People at the very beginning of the Boomer generation and the tail end don't tend to fall into the general stereotypes of the baby boomer generation.

Anyway, all clusters of folks from the Greatest Generation, to the Millenials have exceptions. Like the Bell Curve.

But I stand by my assertion that Trump has more in common with the Greatest Generation than the Baby Boomers of Clinton and Obama.

I know a lot of people from the hippie era that did not exemplify the 60s rock and roll stereotype either.

However, I can't describe all stratospheres of every generation. So yea, when I look at it, I see GWB, Clintons, and Obama espousing more of the values of the accepted definition of the Baby Boomers than I do DJT.

I wasn't in the Baby Boomer generation and did not mean to offend you personally. I obviously have worked for them, and the white collar tend to fit the stereotype more than blue collar, but there are always exceptions in both.

Again, I'm sorry if I offended you personally. It is JMO and of course I can be wrong. But I still stand by my assertion on Trump.

Only thing I'd say is this very well could be a mid-term where the
retards show up. They're fired up and super pissed about Trump.

--

That's my main concern...the Dems have been driving turnout in the recent special elections, while the Pubs have been staying home in droves. Not counting the Moore debacle, which was an embarrassing own-goal, most of these Dem wins have been coming in Trump districts.

But I think time is on the GOP's side. After the tax cut victory, the Congressional leadership (for the most part) and Trump seem to be on the same page. If the economy is still humming, and the Dems are still shrieking about doomsday, the GOP should hold the House and pick up a few more Senate seats.

Posted with the usual caveat, there's a long time until November.
