Ten point swing, House trending back to Dems

[lawgator1]

Can't post link via mobile (or at least I can't), but CNN poll shows Dems lead GOP 50-46 in how people would vote in Congressional districts. Prior to midterms in '10, GOP led 53-47.

If economy improves and GOP continues to stumble and send mixed messages on deficit, Dems may well re-take the House. Hope Boehner hasn't unpacked everything.

Very little chance Dems take back the House and they will lose the Senate.

They're a shoe in, i mean look at how well everything is going. We'd be crazy to not put these guys back in control of everything

I think some of this is residuals from Bin Laden's slaying. We'll see if it maintains.

Bin Laden, Medicare and the party out of power is somehow more appealing (kinda like the back up QB syndrome).

A D Congress with Obama re-elected would be an unmitigated disaster.

The Medicare cuts ("reforms") are a gold mine for the Dems.

Why? Because this is what you want? Because you are deluded into believing everyone agrees with you on everything or they are idiots?

I guess it goes without saying that I no longer consider your opinion valid.

When did you value it?

33 Million people unemployed, $4 gas, Home values dropping 1% every month.

This 10 point swing is a dead cat bounce

Because it's my opinion, I am sure the people will give the Republicans more than just 2 years in the House. As far as the Senate goes, look at the numbers. The dems have many more Senators they have to reelect than Republicans. The numbers and gas prices getting higher, higher unemployment rates and the terrible economy in general.

The GOP house members wil be trying to explain why they voted for the " Ryan Plan".
People say they want change and they do as long as their benefits are not being cut.
Voting to do away with Medicare as we know it was a big mistake.

IMO, the names in bold are the only DNC Senate seats that are up for grabs.

[volfanjustin]

I think they only need 4 to take control?

Correct.

It is definitely not automatic for either party.

You mean like the several years that saw us go from a surplus to a deficit? And enter the recession? Don't act like Republicans are a cut above anyone else just because of their party. They're just as guilty of this mess as anyone.
