GOP pollster: Fear of Dem majority will bring Republicans together

GOP pollster Brett Loyd said on Wednesday that the Republican voting base will come together in the weeks leading up to November's midterm elections once the fear of a Democratic majority sets in.

"I think that the closer we get, within two, three weeks out of the election and Republicans understanding that there's a chance that the Democrats take control of the House, I think that will start solidifying the Republican base," Loyd told Hill.TV's Jamal Simmons on "What America's Thinking."

Loyd said it is too early to make midterm predictions because voters are not yet worried about potential outcomes.

"That's a little farther out right now, we have 76 days until the election, and I don't think that people are talking about the consequences of this election," he said.

Democratic businesses do better also.
Democratic families are more harmonious.
Democratic children are better educated too.
What was that Republicans want?
