Despite the constant drumbeat coming from those
within the Democrat Party about the coming ‘Blue Wave’, and all of the many
NeverTrumpers who are actually hoping for just such an eventuality, it would
seem that the latest round of polls the purpose of which is to look at the generic
ballot tend to show a rather dramatic drop for Democrats as we head into the
2018 mid-terms elections. Of course, as
we’ve seen before, you can’t always trust what polls say.
But, be that as it may, in the Real Clear Politics
poll of polls, Democrats enjoyed a seven point advantage as recently as last
week. However, as of today, that lead has
no slipped to a mere five points. That
five point lead, though, includes polls going back to mid-July, including an
outlier Quinnipiac poll that gave Democrats a 12 point lead. If you look only
at the four polls taken this month, the Democrat lead drops to an average of
just 2 (2.25) points.
Rasmussen shows Democrats at +4 (45-41 percent) —
down from +6 last week. IBD/TIPP has
both parties all tied up at 45 percent — down from +8 Democrat lead at the end
of June. Economist/YouGov has Democrats
+3 (44-41 percent) — down from +4 last week.
Reuters/Ipsos has Democrats +2 (41-39 percent) — down from +6 last
week. There are a number of possible
explanations for this fairly dramatic movement away from the Big ‘Blue Wave.’
To begin with, we’ve had some undeniably good
economic news of late, which voters are crediting to President Trump. Also, the president has been aggressively
stumping for Republicans, holding as many as three rallies just last week. What’s more, despite the best efforts of those
in our ‘fake news’ media to hide all of the good economic news, and to protect
Democrats from themselves, it’s all thanks to the alternative media, that the ‘real
news’ is getting out.
Other ‘real news’ is also managing to get out. News that makes very clear the extremism of
the Pelosi left, and just how radical those on the left have now become, and the
message about the reality of what a Democrat-controlled House would likely mean
for the country. Such things as
endlessly ginned up scandals directed at the president, the worst kind of gridlock,
bitter partisanship, and most certainly a move to impeach President Trump over
nonsense.
While there is no question that Democrats are
energized as we head into the 2018 midterms, as they run around praising
socialism, putting illegal aliens above law-abiding American citizens, and
promise to dismantle border enforcement and ICE, these are the kinds of
terrifying realities that energize the rest of America and would tend to turn
off reasonable Democrats. I can’t help
but wonder how possessing such an agenda forms the basis of a sound strategy.
Frankly, that the Democrats can still be said to be
leading by ANY amount as we head into the next contest is beyond me. Are there really enough folks who agree with
the Democrat on everything from immigration to taxes? Do my fellow Americans REALLY want a return
to the transformative policies of Barry ‘O’? Do they not see that a Democrat Congress will work
tirelessly to halt President Trump's agenda dead in its tracks and to impeach
the president?
And how ignorant does one have to be not to see that
this one sided pursuit of the President by Mr. Mueller and his band of merry
men of Democrats IS a witch hunt, while the real elitist criminal, Hitlery, is
allowed to escape all manner of punishment for her REAL crimes. Do Americans REALLY want to have unequal
justice and a set of rules for the elite and another set of rules for the rest
of us? I truly hope America wakes up and
realizes this election IS about the future of this country.
Let’s face it, the choice has never been more clear.
President Trump and the Republicans seek to make America great again economically,
militarily and constitutionally, a place where the individual is trusted to
make their own decisions about their lives.
And it’s the SOCIALIST Democrats who seek the return of ‘Big Brother’
and even Bigger Government, where the individual is looked down upon as being too
stupid to make the PROPER decisions for themselves.
The Democrats and their voters have become literally
consumed by their hatred of President Trump. They would rather destroy the
country than see Trump succeed. The
Democrats and their minions in the media have one goal, destroy the president
and discredit his supporters. But, will
the voters who supported President Trump turn out? Because, as we know, polls can be wrong, and
sometimes deliberately so, to create a false impression or to inspire the other
side.
