    ....comments? Too early to mean anything?

    "Democrats have solidified their position in the November midterm elections in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll, maintaining a 12-point lead among registered voters while improving to a wide 14-point advantage among likely voters in congressional preference.

    Democrats typically lose support in the shift to likely voters, given lower turnout among their stalwart groups. That’s not the case now: Among those most likely to vote, 54 percent support the Democratic candidate in their congressional district, compared to 40 percent for the Republican.

    This double-digit Democratic lead among likely voters compares with a dead heat in this group in early November. One factor: They’ve locked down their base, including party identifiers, women and minorities....."

    Means absolutely nothing. The "polls" also convince them Hillary was going to win.

    We all know how that turned out.

    Well, especially this far out. And then they have 31-23-40 percent, Democrats-Republicans-independents? These generic ballots almost always mean nothing this early on.

    However, I do believe the Democrats are way more motivated than the GOP, and they WILL pick up seats in the House, although it's not certain they will obtain a majority. The Senate, nope, too many Democrats running and in trouble already. But who knows, politics these days are more chaotic than ever?
