NBC Poll: HRC opens 11-point lead nationally; +7 on Congress--House is in play

[book_worm]

**If HRC wins by double digits the House is definitely in play:

The poll, conducted on Saturday and Sunday but before the second presidential debate, shows Clinton with 46 percent support among likely voters in a four-way matchup, compared to 35 percent for Trump.

Libertarian Gary Johnson's support stands at nine percent, and Green Party candidate Jill Stein garners two percent. In a head-to-head matchup, Clinton's lead over Trump grows to 14 percent (52 percent to Trump's 38 percent.)

As Republicans grapple with how to hold on to control of the House and Senate despite the Trump campaign's woes, Democrats overall now have a seven-point advantage on the question of which party voters want to see in control of Congress.

Forty-nine percent of voters say they'd like to see Democrats in power on Capitol Hill, compared to 42 percent who chose the GOP.

That's up from a three-point advantage for Democrats (48 percent to 45 percent) last month, and it's the largest advantage for Democrats since the October 2009 government shutdown

The idiot deplorables at freakrepublic think the pu$$y grabber is winning!

[Ardoewaan]

18. yes

the reality distortion field is fully operational over there. Clinging on for dear life to the daybreak poll.

[workinclasszero]

20. IKR?

They do hold on to that for dear life!

[whathehell]

24. Oh yeah, baby!

It's Party time!!

[C_U_L8R]

2. House in play !!

That is sweet music to hear.
Let's turn it up louder.

[Happyhippychick]

3. Paul Ryan must have known this and that's why he freaked out this morning.

I'm hoping it's too late.

[workinclasszero]

7. Internals gone all to hell perhaps Ryan???

[ffr]

4. Voter registration today, with 29 days of the Donald show to come!

Loving this!

[a kennedy]

5. Senate via 538's numbers.......don't look promising.....

http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/senate/?ex_cid=2016-forecast

Holy crap.....gotta get the voters out. D*mn......thought the Senate was moving into the Dem side.

[Lefthacker]

9. Sam Wang

Has it at 73%.

[broadcaster75201]

29. Wang has become MUCH more accurate than 538 n/t

nt

[a kennedy]

33. Hey, that's good to know.....thanks.

[book_worm]

10. Dems lead in NH, WI, IL, & PA in latest polls

that would be enough to give us the majority unless we lose Nevada. Then we have a shot, too, at IN, NC & MO Senate races. If this is a wave election Dems will win some unexpected seats. Also most recent Florida poll only gave Rubio a 2-point lead.

[a kennedy]

12. We only NEED 4 seats right?? *keeping fingers crossed*

and working to get the vote out.

[apnu]

22. We need NH badly

WI and IL are locks right now. PA is a bit shakey but trending up for Democrats. NH is a worry. its been tight all along and until this poll came out, Ayotte was trending sharply up. We need Hassan to gain ground and hold it. NH is bouncing all over the place.

[dbackjon]

34. Just need to keep replaying her "Trump is a role model for my children" clip

[oberliner]

15. Strickland and Murphy both going down?

That is unfortunate.

[NewJeffCT]

25. I was surprised

last week when I saw a poll that had Strickland down 55-38. I was thinking WTF happened there?

[DeminPennswoods]

27. Strickland had the bad luck

to be governor during the 2008 financial crisis and subsequent recession. I'm sure his poll numbers reflect that.

[Hachetman]

36. Lots of Koch and dirty energy Money....

Lots of money spent on this campaign to run down Ted Strickland. I live in Ohio and every time I turn around Portman has a PAC with another advert.

[Chemisse]

6. Oh that would just be so sweet.

Then a Dem president could show what Democrats can do, when given a mandate.

[workinclasszero]

8. YES!!!

GOTV!!!!

[NewJeffCT]

26. yes - a raised minimum wage and infrastructure spending

come to mind. investment in green technology as well. Not to mention, JUDGES!!

[workinclasszero]

28. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

[bettyellen]

35. Hundreds and hundreds of judges!!! If it looks like a sweep I wouldn't mind if Obama withdrew

Garland, and replaced him with someone more liberal.

[Hachetman]

37. Hell yes....

...and hell yes again!

[politicaljunkie41910]

11. I love the fact that Mike Pence went all in with Trump this morning.

It just ties him to Drumpf forever, and assures me that he will never be anything but the former Governor of Indiana.

[Bobbie Jo]

16. Oh me too!!

I'll be forever grateful to Donny for taking Pence out of our misery here in the Hoosier state.



Door, ass, etc...

[Scurrilous]

17. K & R

[mcar]

19. Oh yeah!

[Botany]

21. NY Times .... Trump could give us the House

Barring an unforeseeable, if not miraculous, political recovery for Mr. Trump, the Republican
exodus from his camp is expected to pick up pace in the coming days as lawmakers digest
his debate performance and receive new polling on how voters are processing his apparent
demise. Even then, Republicans may be hard-pressed to fully desert a nominee who maintains
a powerful following in the party base.

That abiding loyalty is what alarms party strategists: Even if just 5 percent of the most reliable
Republican voters do not vote or cast a ballot only for Mr. Trump, it would ensure that Republicans
lose nearly every close congressional race.

30. Here's hoping many vote straight down ticket when they go into the booth as an impulse..

there is enough disgust out there.

[OldRedneck]

31. A musical tribute to the Republican Party: R.I.P.

[Coolest Ranger]

32. Polls won't mean jack

if we don't come out and vote

[Hachetman]

38. Get out the vote....

...and get out the vote...!

[Coyotl]

39. Like I've been saying, ....

The House Is Back in Play



since this all got intense ...

We need a list of Trump's known crimes.

[lonestarnot]

40. Play baby play!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

41. They'll go back to the "neck and neck" for the ratings.
