Democrats Regain Their Lead in the Generic Ballot

Philip Bump: “In January, Monmouth gave the Democrats a two-point lead; it’s now nine points. Quinnipiac’s new poll gave the Democrats a 10-point lead, lower than other recent polls from the pollsters but hardly bad news. RealClearPolitics compiles a running daily average of the generic ballot margin. In December, there was a lot of discussion of the sizable lead the Democrats enjoyed which, in January, became talk of how the margin was narrowing. Now it’s widening again, making up nearly half of what was lost from the December peak. The Democratic advantage now stands at 9.1 points.”

I figure Scott would be leading Nelson even though he hasn't announced yet.

Suffice to say, the polls are all over the place and we probably should pay attention to them until races start to solidify.

Funny how "unnamed candidate" always polls higher than when a candidate is named, isn't it?

Commonsense said...

In that case, it's basically an approval or disapproval of the named candidate.

wphamilton said...

Unnamed, or "generic" GOP candidate, doesn't have any baggage, history or other negatives. Any real candidate will have negatives as soon as they're known well enough, and you'll almost never perfectly agree with them.

Head to head, or generic vs generic, are the right ways to poll it.

Trump Got a Letter from Putin

From Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin’s War on America and the Election of Donald Trump, a new book by Michael Isikoff and David Corn:

Trump was finally on his way in Russia. And shortly after the Miss Universe event, Agalarov’s daughter showed up at the Miss Universe office in New York City bearing a gift for Trump from Putin. It was a black lacquered box. Inside was a sealed letter from the Russian autocrat. What the letter said has never been revealed.

Obama In Talks to Provide Shows for Netflix

Barack Obama “is in advanced negotiations with Netflix to produce a series of high-profile shows that will provide him a global platform after his departure from the White House,” the New York Times reports.

“Under terms of a proposed deal, which is not yet final, Netflix would pay Mr. Obama and his wife, Michelle, for exclusive content that would be available only on the streaming service, which has nearly 118 million subscribers around the world. The number of episodes and the formats for the shows have not been decided.”

Good. That will help to allay ex-President Trump's rantings.

Trump wouldn't lie about any of this, would he? James said...

Trump Accuser Named in Stormy Daniels NDA

“A woman who previously accused Donald Trump of inappropriate sexual contact was named in the non-disclosure agreement signed by porn star Stormy Daniels as having ‘confidential information’ about Daniels’ alleged affair with Donald Trump,” CNN reports.

“Angel Ryan is one of four people in the ‘prior disclosure’ section of the ‘confidential settlement agreement,’ who had been told about allegations of an affair with Trump by Stephanie Clifford, whose stage name is Stormy Daniels. Ryan’s stage name is Jessica Drake.”

The Democrats will lose ground in the Senate. The house? Right now and I'm hoping that the Democrats have a chance.

They will get seats, but the Democrats have to motivate the women to get out in higher percentages than in history. The (blue wave) will have to come out of the suburbs in big numbers.

Of course the President could make enough mistakes to change the whole thing.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

As a South Dakota boy, Tester will win in Montana. I lived there for 8 years. They usually end up voting for the Democratic incumbents. North Dakota, Melinkamp will hold onto her seat. The others, get out the golf clubs.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—The Pentagon has turned down Donald J. Trump’s request for a grand military parade in Washington, D.C., citing a sudden outbreak of bone spurs that would prevent men and women in uniform from participating.

Harland Dorrinson, a Pentagon spokesman, said that, within an hour of Trump’s request, more than a hundred thousand military personnel complained that they were suffering from acute cases of bone spurs that would make marching in such a parade a painful ordeal.

“In the history of the U.S. military, we have never experienced a bone-spur epidemic of this magnitude,” the spokesman said. “Regrettably, however, we have no choice but to issue thousands of deferments.”

A statement from the bone-spur sufferers said that they would continue to valiantly serve their country around the world in a non-marching capacity, and offered an alternative to their participation in Trump’s proposed pageant.

“President Trump is welcome to march in the parade all by himself if he would finally like to enlist,” the statement read.

We'll see how it goes but Donald Trump may wind up deserving the Nobel Peace Prize that Barack Obama got for doing nothing.

Tuesday, February 27
Race/Topic (Click to Sort) Poll Results Spread
Florida Senate - Scott vs. Nelson Quinnipiac Nelson 46, Scott 42 Nelson +4
North Dakota Senate - Cramer vs. Heitkamp Gravis Heitkamp 43, Cramer 40 Heitkamp +3


Yep, very fluid polls so far out....Wonder if Scott will sign gun bill on his desk? He's probably top chicken to sign worried about losing NRA money for his senate bill....Pollitics first, the bedrock of conservative thought....

Commonsense said...

Scott will sign it.

The only NRA objection would be to the provision that raises the age to buy a gun from 18 to 21.

That will likely face a constitutional challenge on equal protection grounds.

C.H. Truth said...

Heitkamp polling at 43 against Cramer is not good news for her. He (Cramer) is polling ahead in other polling (49-44 NRSC).

While I don't necessarily agree that every incumbent polling under 50% is in big trouble. I do believe that a Democrat incumbent in a deep red state that is only polling at 44-43% right now... is in big trouble.

Cramer was the first choice for Republicans, and is a well known commodity. It's probably his race to lose.

Winning bigly

The economy added 313,000 jobs in February, crushing expectations, while the unemployment rate remained at 4.1 percent, according to a Labor Department report Friday that could help quell inflation fears.

Economists surveyed by Reuters had been expecting nonfarm payroll growth of 200,000 and the unemployment rate to decline one-tenth of a percent to 4 percent. An increase in the labor force participation rate helped keep the headline unemployment number steady, as the number of those counted as not in the workforce tumbled by 653,000 to just over 95 million.

Crumbs according to Democrats.

Nelson is also vulnerable and Scott has been courting Puerto Rican refugees in the state.

It may happen.

in the rush to increase the purchase age of an AR from 18 to 21, has anyone proposing the increase considered this?

i mean, it's the very first thing that came to my mind. how does one constitutionally justify infringing upon a person's 2nd amendment rights based on age?



commie said...


Heitkamp polling at 43 against Cramer is

Which is certainly different from your thread head CH!!! Again, you are now arguing over polls for an election months out.....and will be very fluid depending how stormy things get for the liar in chief.. Funny how a poll in her favor is bad for heitcamp and good for the R,,,Must be your conservative logic and bias......LOLOLOLOL Really doubt there will be a suit on gun buying age.....that sure would open up a suit on drinking also......Our menstral cramp law logic is most amusing...

Yes it was an unexpectedly good jobs number.....we can still thank the previous potus for leaving a growing economy behind, unlike busch.....

it's the very first thing that came to my mind.

Sure rat hole....the first thing that came to your mind was shooting beaners.....LOLOLOL

Were you attempting to make a point or was the incoherent babbling intentional?

The NRA just sued Florida to have it age restriction to 21 declared unconstitutional.

Chances are 80-20 they will prevail. Even an Obama appointee will have a hard time getting around the obvious 2nd and 14th amendment problems with the law.
