The final Gallup Generic Congressional Ballot poll is out tonight, and it is a staggering number in favor of the Republicans – +15. Among likely voters, Republicans lead 55%-40% in Gallup’s final numbers before Tuesday’s 2010 Midterm Elections:
POLITICO: In a compelling sign that the Republican tide on Tuesday will produce a historic sweep in the House, the final pre-election poll by the Gallup Organization gave the GOP a 55 percent to 40 percent lead over Democrats among likely voters in its generic congressional ballot test.
The commanding 15-point advantage makes a Republican takeover “highly probable,” and could produce GOP gains “anywhere from 60 seats on up, with gains well beyond that possible,” according to the Gallup analysis released late Sunday. . . . Read More
This is a strong sign that things continue to move in the direction of the GOP, and truly amazing gains are possible. It will take 39-seats to regain control of the House. A gain far beyond that number is now likely.
We’ll have our final House projections up by sometime tomorrow evening. We want to see any polling that comes in tomorrow.
Here is video from the World Series tonight – Game 4 in Arlington, Texas – where former Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush threw out the ceremonial first pitch with Texas Rangers’ President Nolan Ryan serving as the catcher. Bush 43 actually did the honors of throwing the pitch, with his Dad – Bush 41 -standing by. Bush got the pitch to home plate in good shape with Ryan catching the ball. The crowd roared for both of the former Presidents!
The political Grapevine fact checks Obama’s claim that Republicans are not for funding global AIDS. Obama made the claim yesterday when being heckled by protesters who apparently wanted increased global AIDS funding. The truth is, as Bret Baier points out, that in 2003 George Bush and the Republican controlled Congress tripled funding to combat AIDS in Africa.
Jimmy Carter appears on CNN’s Reliable Sources to discuss President Obama’s falling poll numbers and less “glowing” media coverage. Carter essentially blamed all of Obama’s current problems on cable news channels, specifically Fox News:
“Now with the discussion groups, for instance, on Fox News, that are totally biased, and they implant completely false images not only of the facts about legislation that’s passed or doesn’t get passed, but also about the character of President Obama…they’ve been successful in projecting him as a person who is not a citizen of America, who is not a Christian but a Muslim, and is not a Democrat but he’s a socialist and so forth.”
Here is video of Gov. Sarah Palin speaking (begins at 3:32 mark) in Wheeling, West Virginia yesterday at a Tea Party Express rally alongside GOP Senate candidate John Raese. Palin said November 2 will be the day Americans vote to “turn things around in our country.” That will be done, she said, by sending common sense conservatives to Washington, like John Raese.
Raese also spoke briefly just prior to Sarah Palin.
