Anti-Dem Propaganda Watch #11 - "House ripe for Republican takeover, latest polls find"

Here is more corporate media propaganda for those of you to make the case that President Obama should move either to the left or the right. Is it just a coincidence that all this "analysis" sounds so familiar. What ever happened to anti-plagiarism standards?

Deja Vu! The Corporate Media Is The Borg! You will be assimilated! Resistance is futile!

Just when the Democrats thought the polls couldn’t get any worse, they have.

Voter dissatisfaction with the federal government has reached its highest level in 18 years, according to a new ABC News/Washington Post poll. And likely voters say that in their districts, they favor the Republican over the Democrat for Congress by a margin of 53 to 40 percent, the highest generic GOP House lead in the ABC/Post post poll since 1981.

A new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll finds a similar result. By a margin of 49 to 40 percent, likely voters say they want Republicans to take control of Congress. And discouragement over the economy, after what the White House said would be “recovery summer,” has only grown. Only 26 percent of voters say the economy will get better in the next 12 months, versus 40 percent who held that view in May.

Republicans are trying to keep their glee to a dull roar, lest they raise expectations unrealistically heading into the Nov. 2 midterms. But at this point, anything less than a takeover of the House will be seen as falling short, as nonpartisan handicappers up their predictions. Stuart Rothenberg now says the GOP will gain 37 to 42 seats – numbers that straddle the 39-seat net gain Republicans need to win the majority. Mr. Rothenberg adds that “substantially larger Republican gains” of 45 to 55 seats are quite possible. Larry Sabato of the University of Virginia now predicts a GOP pickup of 47 seats. The Cook Political Report foresees a Republican gain of at least 40 seats, and “very possibly substantially more.”
