Big Blue Bellyflop: Dem Lead in Generic Ballot Hits New Low
For the very first time since April of 2017, when Real Clear Politics first started monitoring the average, the Democrat advantage in the generic ballot has dipped below 5 percent, to just 4.7 percent.
Until this week, Democrats enjoyed a steady average of a +5 percent advantage. Of late, that average has climbed as high as +13 percent. But since then, the erosion, in fits and starts, has steadily drifted downward, and now, at least in this election season, it is at a record low.
For the sake of context, in 2014, with a 2.4 percent GOP advantage in this same poll, Republicans picked up only 13 House seats.
During the 2010 mid-terms, with a 9.4 percent GOP advantage, Republicans picked up 63 House seats.
In 2006, with an 11.5 percent Democrat edge, Democrats picked up 31 seats.
This year, Democrats will need to flip 24 seats to retake the House, which is looking a lot less doable when you consider that with a huge 11.5 percent advantage, Democrats were only able to snatch 31 seats.
With just a 4.7 percent advantage, Democrats are likely within range of handing the gavel to Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), but a closer look at the movement of the numbers shows that Democrat energy has been flat, while GOP energy is building.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

North Korea has at least initially agreed to talk about nuclear disarmament.
The whole Russian collusion hoax is not only falling apart but has back-fired tremendously on those behind it.
And now you have folks like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi defending the blood-thirsty ultra-violent MS-13 with the latter talking about their "spark of divinity"

According to a new poll commissioned by Reuters, Republicans have now taken a small lead on a generic ballot question. Not all that long ago Democrats enjoyed a +20 point lead and that was a major reason for predictions of a "blue wave." In fact, less than a month ago they still had a 10 point lead.
Still, it's a looooong ways until November.Last edited by rogue06; 05-22-2018, 09:44 PM.
