Pollsters: Dems will take back House

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A panel of pollsters is predicting that Democrats will win back 23 seats in this year's midterm elections, enough to win back the house majority.

Hill.TV's "What America's Thinking" canvassed its panel of pollsters on how many seats Democrats will gain.

The average answer for the first-ever Poll of Pollsters was 23 seats, the show announced Friday.

That's exactly the number that Democrats need to flip control of the chamber from Republicans.

"I feel like if 2016 taught us nothing, it is we should not make predictions. So I'm doing this under duress I'll have you know," joked pollster Anna Greenberg, who predicted Democrats would gain 25 seats.

Republican pollster Ed Goeas of the Tarrance Group predicted it was a "better than even chance" that Democrats reclaim control of the House for the first time in eight years.

He predicted Democrats would net 23 seats.

Carly Cooperman, a partner at Schoen Consulting and a Democratic pollster, predicted a gain of 24 seats. "We see the generic vote is in the Democratic favor and a lot of the competitive seats are held by Republicans," she said.

1. We really need seats in local

State houses too.

8. Correct.

Control of state houses is the only way to counter the damage that will be done by a rightwing extremist Supreme Court.

Overturning Roe will be moot if the states don’t seek to ‘ban’ abortion, or otherwise violate the privacy rights of residents of the states.

2. Blue wave, sister!

We need it!

3. Four months seems like an eternity.

Trump is trying to wear us down with his damage.

4. Not good enough

1) That is WAY too close.

2) With only 23 or 25 seats, that gives ENORMOUS power to the conservadem assholes to get all the attention, all the time. The leadership will cave to them.

3) These pollsters need to recalibrate after the Kennedy retirement. Republicans have wanted to overturn Roe for decades. You're telling me they won't show up to outlaw abortion? Of course they will.

5. Women who value their freedom from having children will get out there too.

To clarify, birth control is on the line also. The reich wing has already floated the idea that birth control pills are abortions also.

6. I have no doubt we have the votes

It's the election rigging I worry about.

7. For some strange, bizarre, unsubstantiated reason...

I have lost confidence in POLLS. (Snork)

However, I see the Blue Wave in the distance and am anxiously waiting for the refreshing splash.

9. Given that the final national polls were off by only a point or two, yes it is bizarre

National polling in 2016 was more accurate than in 2012.

13. The House is not national, it is 435 districts.

District polling is very inaccurate because the national polling firms do not have the money to poll enough people in the districts. So they guess statistically.

10. Close enough for Putin to swing it back to the GOP.

11. K&R

12. No Chickens counted

until all the Votes are Hatched GOTV!
