Poll question: Another stupid poll about 2012(will the Dems take back the house?)

Will they?

[monmouth]

1. I wouldn't be surprised if a good portion of the teabaggers that won

will be indicted for one thing or another before their terms are up. Think Allen West....ugh.

2. Note that House districts will be redrawn by 2012...

which may or may not be to our advantage, depending on the state legislature's composition. Remember what Tom Delay & the Texas state legislature did 10 years ago?

3. I expect anothr wave of discontent...

but I won't even try to predict who will be punished by frightened voters.

Except that it will be the poor and middle class who pay.

As always. :(

4. I doubt it. To take the majority, Democrats will have to win back seats lost by DU's hated Blue Dogs

A fourth straight election with 20+ seats changing hands in the House would also be pretty spectacular.

Unfortunately I suspect that President will run far ahead of House Democrats in his reelection campaign. Not making a change at the top of the House leadership is going to be bad for candidate recruitment and electoral prospects next cycle.

6. The Dems probably won't take back the House...

but they probably will reduce the Republican majority by a great amount. Unfortunately, the Dems could lose the senate in 2012 if there are fewer teatards running.

7. I'm hoping.

Way too early to tell at this point.

[budkin]

8. Wish it were so... but no.

9. I myself usually can't see more than a few minutes into the future

Two years is really beyond my powers

[old mark]

10. Barring an abrupt turnaround in the Democrat's policies of being GOP lite,

I doubt it...

11. It's too early to tell

Even if it does happen, just more Blue Dogs to deal with

[NorthCarolina]

12. If they run Progressive candidates they will. If they run New Dems/Blue Dogs...No. nt

13. In the house we are in a bigger hole than we were in '94 and it took dems 12 years to win back

the house.

[PBS Poll-435]

14. Yes, YES, YES

[GSLevel9]

15. how about 2024? nt

16. 41% are totally delusional

Never in the country's history has any party lost 60+ seats and won the House and the following election lost at least 40+ and lost the House. With redistricting, it's all but impossible to lose before 2020.

17. Happened in 1948

19. Wow, you're right

Republicans picked up 55 seats and won the House in 1946, only to lose 75 seats and lose the House in 1948. I guess it's possible after all, my apologies!

[Beacool]

18. Nope, thanks to redistricting.
