McClatchy: Dems hitting red alert over Trump polling

Democrats have made it clear that they will make the midterms entirely a referendum on Donald Trump — at least until now. To the extent that they’ve discussed policy at all, it’s only to shriek at the news that taxpayers not only get to keep more of their own money through tax cuts, but that employers have been sharing the wealth by raising wages and paying unscheduled bonuses. Party leaders like Nancy Pelosi and Elizabeth Warren dismiss these as “crumbs” while highlighting Trump’s character issues as their path back to a majority.

Now one key Democratic super-PAC is hitting the alarm over this strategy, McClatchy reports. Private polling by Priorities USA shows that not only is the full offensive on Trump not working, it’s about to lose them an election that they thought was all but certain:

Can Democrats finally focus on something besides their butthurt over losing the election? I doubt it... especially at this late hour.

Theres a casper milktoast looking guy (D) from Texas running ads for a seat in DC. His only agenda? Hating on Donald Trump.

Maybe its time to admit Trumps economic policies are working... and folks are happy to have more $$ in their pockets, whether they like Trump or not.

Or pout in the corner for the next 7 years.

Democrats Ought To Worry About The Midterm Elections (https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3631186/posts)

The collapse [http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/d...ercent-to-just-2-percent-poll/article/2647709 (http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/democratic-lead-in-generic-house-ballot-collapses-from-15-percent-to-just-2-percent-poll/article/2647709)] of Democrats’ popularity on the much-ballyhooed generic ballot foreshadows tough midterm elections for them in November.

Until this week, pundits nearly everywhere favored Democrats to win – and for good reason. Historically,[https://www.npr.org/2014/10/30/360133533/the-devastating-history-of-midterm-elections] midterm election victories have been afforded to the party that does not control the White House. That’s a natural result of the checks and balances [https://www.voanews.com/a/reining-in-donald-trump-us-system-checks-balances/3676392.html] established by our Founding Fathers.


Generic ballot [http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/d...ercent-to-just-2-percent-poll/article/2647709 (http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/democratic-lead-in-generic-house-ballot-collapses-from-15-percent-to-just-2-percent-poll/article/2647709)] polling is generally thought to be the best predictor of the mood of the electorate during a midterm season. Such polls usually ask the question: “If the election were held today, would you vote for a Democrat or Republican for Congress?”


The latest responses are very troubling for Democrats. New polling [http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/d...ercent-to-just-2-percent-poll/article/2647709 (http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/democratic-lead-in-generic-house-ballot-collapses-from-15-percent-to-just-2-percent-poll/article/2647709)] shows that Democrats have lost their recent 15-point lead over Republicans, dropping to only a two-point lead for a critical election they had hoped to paint as a referendum on President Trump and writ large, Republicans.


However, historically speaking, the news is more daunting for Democrats. Compared to where they stood in the 2014 midterm elections, [https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/generic_congressional_vote-2170.html#polls] Democrats are actually faring worse at this point than they were then.~snip~

The RCP average, such as it is, has the generic democrats up by over 6. That is kind of an important number in that if the election were held today sort of way, which of course, it isn't. Somebody somewhere a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away looked at the power of incumbency. The GOP had to average something in the hood of 6.5% nationally to be virtually guaranteed control of the House. The DNC only needed to poll around 4.5% to be virtually guaranteed control of the House. The most recent Marist poll has the DNC up by +11

Democrats a year ago believed that they could get trump out of office and they put all their cards on BLM and Antifa riots and constant insults and denigration of trump and his family. The entire mainstream press motivated to only report negative trump stories and LIES.

Then they thought they hit gold with the RUSSIANS ARE COMING and believed impeachment was imminent. During all this they had no agenda, didnt talk about anything they were going to do to make america better.

Third stage they tried to sabotage any good news about good things trump has done like the tax cuts that failed.

Now the democrat party stands for one thing and they have gone all out and that is to allow as many ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS they can into the country then protect them with sanctuary cities, that has failed.

Thats not to say they wont make alot of gains in the midterms, the midterms always go against the ruling party.

I think that you need to spend some time on main street and see how the folks really feel.

They are not blaming Trump for the lies that are being told about him, they are blaming the democrats.

The Democrats are having to adjust to someone that calls their bluff. Schumer and Pelosi were positive that the government shut down over illegals was going to be blamed on the GOP, but not only did the people blame the Democrats, thus the Schumer Shut Down, but they also took the DNC to task about the support of illegals over US citizens.

Now for every little thing that they find on the Russia and Trumps people, Nothing illegal by the way, there are 25 things that point to collusion and abuse of power by the Democrats.

Even My sister a die hard Democrat will not vote for them anymore, now she will not vote for the GOP but the dnc will not get her vote.

Democrats that don't see this are the ones that refuse to listen to or be around people that don't think like they do.

At this point, it is just a (growing) gut feel. I started sensing a turn around in January when I first mentioned it.

I believe it will become more obvious in the coming months. Six months from now most of you will be patting yourselves on the back for seeing it. :grin:

The democrats do not stand for what main stream America stands for, and haven’t in years.

They stand for bathroom legislation and gay wedding cakes.

They stand for high taxes that when in charge they do nothing.

They stand for politically correct feel good talking points.

They stand for for so much regulation that nothing can ever get done that makes sense.

They stand for hurting our our economy as much as possible over B$hit causes like
Global Warming the most dangerous thing in the world. While the rest of the world laughs and takes our money and our business.

They stand for stupid backroom deals deals with Iran. Won’t show anyone the deals of course because they are so good.

They stand for executive order legislation. Not real work legislation.

Those tough issues generate no votes.

People are tired of them.

Doesnt mean anything aat all right now. I didn’t believe it when they were spouting the routes to begin with. Trump has them over a barrel. He should get an infrastructure bill. If the Dems block it they will pay in November. If he gets those DACA kids passed in any kind of bill he just looks at the camera and says look what I have done in less than 2 years. What did Obama and the Dems do for you in 8? Oh yeah BS executive orders.

They are probably screwed because he has now taken their deal and made it his. Exactly what a salesman would do.

Yep the DNC is about ready to hit insolvency. But then the Lame Stream started talking about what the Demos in the Senate and House have. Thinking it is more than what the Repubs have.

You knew they would go with the alternate reality.

Internal Dem Poll: Trump and GOP Gain Ground, 2018 'Blue Wave' in Peril.....


A trend we've been following (https://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2018/02/09/politico-poll-trump-gop-gain-n2446346) is showing up in Democrats' internal surveys, McClatchy reports, as a top Democratic pollster is warning that based on the emerging data, the party's expected 2018 midterm layup victories may not materialize as easily as assumed -- if at all. These results were shared with the media as an obvious wake-up call to guard against complacency and to urge Democrats to focus attacks against Trump's policies. Some specifics (http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/white-house/article199812624.html):


A leading Democratic group — Priorities USA — is warning party leaders they could squander a strong political climate in 2018 if they don't start to emphasize pocketbook issues over loose and unfocused critiques of Donald Trump. According to internal polling by the super PAC, President Trump's approval rating climbed to 44 percent in the first week of February, compared to 53 percent who disapprove. That mirrors Trump's improving position in public polls. In November, the same survey found his approval rating at 40 percent, with 54 percent disapproving. The group’s survey also showed the Democratic Party’s generic ballot advantage had shrunk, with 46 percent preferring Democrats to 42 percent for Republicans...Democrats, the memo said, must “not allow themselves to be sidetracked and distracted by Trump’s latest tweets.” “While still on track for a successful November, the extent of Democratic gains will be blunted if Democrats do not reengage more aggressively in speaking to the economic and health care priorities of voters,” it said.


Democrats can claim they're for the middle class, but every one of them (https://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2017/12/20/accurate-headline-every-democrat-in-congress-votes-against-major-progrowth-middle-class-tax-cuts-n2424776) voted 'no' on middle class tax cuts (https://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2017/12/27/winning-cbs-news-report-bernie-sanders-comments-highlight-gop-tax-laws-sweeping-middle-class-benefits-n2427177), which people are starting to feel. Support for the GOP-passed law hasn't rocketed upward because people have forgotten about it; it's shot up because people are feeling its impact. And that impact is very, very different than what Democrats claimed it would be (https://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2017/12/05/hot-new-lefty-talking-point-tax-reform-will-kill-thousands-n2417967). That's why the opposition party, stuck on (https://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2018/02/05/sneer-team-assemble-more-companies-announce-tax-reform-bonuses-benefits-n2444562) insulting talking points (https://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2018/02/06/good-gop-starts-blasting-out-of-touch-dems-over-crumbs-n2445177), suddenly finds itself playing defense (https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/14/democrats-on-defensive-as-support-for-gop-tax-plan-grows.html):


Republicans and allied groups are starting to pummel vulnerable Senate Democrats with tough ads over their tax reform votes, noting that these "moderates" from red states sided with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer to try to block an overhaul that is tangibly benefiting workers (https://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2018/02/13/small-business-optimism-n2448525).......snip~

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2018/02/14/internal-dem-poll-trump-is-gaining-and-democrats-are-in-danger-of-blowing-it-n2448635


Yep, and all the Repubs need to do is remind people that the Demos have done nothing to help people or the country while using the MS Media to protect them.
