According to Congressional Quarterly Dems not heading for House takeover

[liberaldemocrat7]

According to Congressional Quarerly, the Republiklan party leads and leans in about 220 seats and the Democrats lead and lean in 203 seats with 12 seats undetermined at present according to the polling they do.

In the Senate Republicans lead and lean with 52 seats and Democrats lead and lean with 45 seats with 3 undetermined seats.

That does not look like a takeover by the democrats in November if the trend continues.

1. Sure they aren't

;) wink wink
And if you tap your heels together 3 times and say it isn't true...then it will be so.

2. I agree unfortunately with this assessment

I don't see much changing with the November election. It's not a national race but, a series of local and regional ones. Sure there is the "throw the bums out feeling", but just not my bum and how many of those districts are really safe ones before you factor in the electronic voting issue?

3. I agree

If you look at the generic polls, it looks great but when you check a seat by seat analysis for the House, I don't think it's there.

We will probably fall short in the Senate also.

4. And according to these polls dems WILL take the house

If the elections were held today.

Check it out. Very good news indeed. From the 30 districts polled, dems are ahead in something like 80% of them. And most of these seats are republican.

5. That's not what is happening on the ground here

And there are more than a few polls that are opposite what CQ says. I think we will take the house by about 10, and just fall short in the Senate, but enough to really give the Repukes a hard time non-stop.

6. Thank goodness you posted this, I'll save my time and stop campaigning

:eyes:

I'd rather call crap like this bullshit and encourage people to get out there and do what they can to prove these assholes and anyone else writing stuff like this wrong.

7. It appears good to see that other polls contradict this one.

I just posted the CQ poll that CSPAN has used. I did not suggest giving up.

and Lynne, if I lived in Pennsylvania and had a choice between Santorum, Casey and the Green stooge for the GOP, I would not vote for anyone.

I live in NY and I plan to vote for Jonathan Tasini instead of Hillary Clinton in the primary and I will write his name in for the general election.

Although I like Hillary clinton I did not approve of her supporting the flag burning amendment to the constitution and other pandering to Nazis in the REPUBLIKLAN Party. I also did not support the Iraq invasion. I did support the war in Afghanistan even if GW Bush did provoke the 9-11 attacks.
