Took the @fivethirtyeight adjusted generic congressional polling by month... and something very different seems to be happening right now... pic.twitter.com/6aEoTSXnPW

One reason why the generic ballot closing in the WaPo poll: growing intensity from pro-gun Republicans.

I'd noticed that too. Time-Warner (now Speculum) now blocks unauthorized robocalls and calls with spoofed caller IDs (yay, they finally did something good), but recently hairballs have been using local numbers. I never answer if I don't recognize the caller ID.
And, just because it's how I roll, I have set up my phone to forward all unanswered calls to the phone of a notorious local robocaller. If I get to the phone before the voice mail picks up, I disconnect the phone, and whoosh! off it goes to the robocalling firm.

Long, long before 2016, it was already expsed that polling is now used as a tool to INFLUENCE public opinion, not MEASURE public opinion.
The Dems starting weaponing the very concept of polls starting back in the 1992 election at least, based on studies that "proved" that voters want to "vote for the winning side" rather than vote for their conscience.
Of course, those studies were themselves bogus and based ion wishful thinking that humankind can easily be manipulated, a la "The Soviet Man" theory of Lenin who felt that even fundamental human nature could be erased with sufficient propaganda, brainwashing and social pressure.

We have one in the Tea Party. We need to pull it out of the back of the closet, wipe all the cosmoline off of it, charge up the battery and start that baby up again. And we need to use it to get all the Never-Trumpers out of Congress ASAP.
There's one simple test: do you support President Trump? If yes, then you may carry on. If not, then prepare to spend more time with your family in retirement.
It's the perfect counter to the unmentioned-yet-very-much-active Progressive Party. It's not dead yet.

Another explanation, maybe Republican voters tend to just hang up on robo call surveys (tend to be older, less tech happy) but maybe are more likely to answer a human caller? Like how older people go inside a bank branch to cash or deposit a check instead of an ATM?
I'm not entirely dismissive of polling as some people, here I think it can show some trends and is an educated guess about where a race stands.
I do think though by in large, Republicans tend to avoid being polled at all, and I believe that actually has negative consequences because jellyfish Republican politicians see those polls and govern scared.
Posted by: Maritime at April 16, 2018 04:29 PM (lKmt3)

It's well documented. I believe the change happened in 1996 (correct me if I got the date wrong, folks) when NBC (if I remember correctly) decided to switch the former partty-identification colors (red=Dem blue=GOP) to be the reverse, so as to erase the stigma of red=communist which some analysts thought was detrimental to the Dems' national perception. All the oither networks quickly followed suit, and a "new paradigm" was born.
To this day, the relentlessly trumpet the "red state"="conservative state" meme to make sure the commie stain is permanently expunged from the Dems' reputation.

What I'm hoping for is a full-tilt, fully funded, all-hands-on-deck anti-gun campaign combined with some good old-fashioned anarchist hi-jinks just before the election. Something uncoordinated with the DNC such that it takes them by surprise and gets lots of exposure in a major media market. Something that forces even the most disgusted Republican to go "You know, the GOP sucks but the Dems are CRAZY so let me get my ass down to the polls."

Only we can save us. The citizens. The forefathers set it up that way. *zipping it*

"According to The Washington Post, the phrases red states and blue states were coined by Tim Russert, although in that same article Russert states that he wasn't the first to use the terminology.[14][15] This term refers to those states of the United States of America whose residents predominantly vote for the Republican Party (red) or Democratic Party (blue) presidential candidates, respectively. John Chancellor, Russert's NBC colleague, is credited with using red and blue to represent the states on a US map for the 1976 presidential election, but at that time Republican states were blue, and Democratic states were red. (How the colors got reversed is not entirely clear.) During the 1984 presidential election, between Ronald Reagan and Walter Mondale, ABC News used a map which showed Republican states as red and Democratic states as blue. According to David Brinkley, that was because Red = R = Reagan.[16] Mainstream political discussion following the 2000 presidential election used red state/blue state more frequently."

Also red is scaaaarry and that's been the meme about Republicans for 50 years. The problem is that red is also strong/powerful, and blue is seven shades of wimpy milquetoast Gore/Kerry shit, which means the commies will be wanting it back soon.

The reason I ask is that I thought there were a fair number of Democrats who actually owned guns. So even if a large group of Dems say "the gun issue is important", how do the numbers for/against guns actually pan out? This might be a good thing for us, though the chart isn't fine grained enough to determine whether or not it's the case.

Under that decree and its 1987 successor, the Republican party organizations agreed to allow a federal court to review proposed "ballot security" programs, including any proposed voter caging.
So yeah, the RNC simply folded to allow judges determine what the RNC could do with regards to ensuring legal voting.

Some people credit Tim Russert (mentioned above) and Matt Lauer for locking this down to the reverse (blue for Democrats) in 2000.
It wasn't really standardized until then, and other colors (like yellow and green) were used before.
It's funny to think with all the red-blue talk that this is a pretty recent thing.

Actually -- no joke -- in Japan, the corner convenience store chains (such as 7/11) really DO have incredibly fresh sushi and sashimi, which is replaced not just every day but more than once per day. A lot of these convenience stores are basically the equivalent of AM/PM stores at US gas stations. Insider-tip sites often say that you can get super-fresh sushi for low low cost at these places.

Rule of thumb (once upon a time) was that Democrats needed an 8 point
margin in the pre-midterm polls in order to be deemed competitive. Don't
know if that still applies when Trump is president or not.

I am not predicting a blow out but I am placing a bet on the repubs keeping the House and picking up some seats maybe 3-4 in the Senate. It might be more if the dem numbers keep dropping. They have already blew a 17+ point lead since January.

They need to reinforce their argument and yell as loud as they can that they want gun control (confiscation) and they want it now. Gun control/gun bans are a loosing issue for the left. I think this is one issue that Americans will never concede. Free speech/Free religion and the right to bear arms are non negotiable for a big majority. So the commie/socialist/nazi left will never win on gun control.

Democrats have largely stayed away from this issue because of it's electoral largess for the other party.
But remember, it's just a bunch of "old white guys" who want to keep their guns.
Which is why that fraud Conor Lamb in Pennsylvania said he was pro Second Amendment- and won.

The minute he gets the chance to vote against it he will. Like that fraud governor in Vermont who is now looking at his last term.

Nobody knows the future. The election is 1,000 years away, in "news" and political terms. The electorate has shown a capability of near-suicidal stupidity in the past. The GOP literally makes it so that they win *despite* their governance in office (Congress). So who knows.
And isn't the rule of thumb for congressional generic ballot, at least the last few cycles, that anything less than a 10-point Dem lead translates as "no change"?

They dismiss the actual vote results as the result of "deception" and thus they DON'T COUNT -- which is actually the same argument at the heart of the "RussiaGate" scandal here -- if the Russians tricked people into voting for Trump, then the election is illegitimate, they argue.
The UK leftists make no bones about it: They desperately want to end the democratic system, and only allow Deep State leftist bureaucrats to rule over the nation. They hate real elections -- they just come right out and say it - because they get stomped in real elections.
And they would eagerly do that in the US if they could get away with it -- end elections, end federal democracy.
Don't give them a chance. Not a whiff of a chance. They will bring totalitarianism to the world.

President Trump is gaining in popularity because more and more people recognize that the economy is rebounding. A good barometer of the health of the economy is how busy restaurants: a $h!tty economy equals less disposable income for eating at a "nice" restaurant, while a good economy equals more "date nights."
The last couple of months, Mrs. Cop and I have noticed increased business at the local restaurant row. This Saturday, we waited 1-1/2 hours to get a seat to eat at a more expensive restaurant and everyone was in a great mood.
I think a lot of people secretly admit to themselves that if the Donks get back in power, "the good times, they be ending much too soon."

He could still be considered a client and communications covered by the a/c privilege even if Hannity never formally hired or paid the lawyer. The privilege belongs to the client though, so Hannity is free to waive it if he wants. Although I don't know why he ever would. It's no one's business.

That image caused an involuntary inhalation of a sip of coffee which caused a Hillary Clinton type of out of control coughing spell with simultaneous out of control laughter while imagining an Italian truck driver wheeling his big rig down the autobahn while singing a country and western song of heartbreak, and wayward women.

"And "Picard" said something like "he would not let

More like he thinks he's really Prof. Xavier and can mind-control addled, generationally retarded alcoholic Brits into agreeing with him.
Which is not unlikely.

The last couple of months, Mrs. Cop and I have noticed increased business at the local restaurant row. This Saturday, we waited 1-1/2 hours to get a seat to eat at a more expensive restaurant and everyone was in a great mood.
I gauge the health of the economy based on the amount of late night traffic I see. From '09 up until about a year ago, there was a very noticeable decrease in traffic here in town.
Now the roads are always busy like they were 10 or 12 years ago at all time of the day and night.
People notice these intangibles.

I'm thinking about getting a couple of pillows from him.

If they're lousy, I'll put 'em in the guest room.

Porcupines?
I figure that the last thing he probably licked was a Grizzly Bear. His last words were probably "Arghhhhhh!!!!"
