See: Rasmussen Predicts GOP Gain of 55 in House
“Republicans should have 48 seats [after the elections next month], Democrats 47, and five seats could slide either way,” said Rasmussen in his banquet address at the Western Conservative Political Action Conference. He was referring to seats in five states in which the Senate race this year he considers too close to call: California, Illinois, Washington, West Virginia, and Nevada (or “that mudwrestling contest,” as Rasmussen described the race between Republican Sharron Angle and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid).
That is bad news for long time incumbent, Patty Murray.
[Update and Correction - Patty Murray won her US Senate seat in 1992, the same year that George Bush Senior lost to Bill Clinton, with Ross Perot making a mess on the fringe. I confused Patty Murray's first race for the state legislature, where she won a seat in the Washington State Senate.]
Rossi now leads in Rasmussen's October 8th report.
A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Washington shows Rossi with 49% of the vote, while Murray’s support stands at 46%. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate in the race, and two percent (2%) are undecided.
What should especially worry Murray is the Incumbent 50% Rule. This rule says that if the incumbent polls bellow 50% in the poll closest to the election, the "undecideds" will over 80% of the time, break for the challenger. (Go Rossi!)
I can see November from my house.
Hi Syrah, one can only hope that Rossi wins and Rasmussen is right!
ReplyDeleteBut I'm really nervous over this GOP "tsunami" that's supposed to be coming, cause if it doesn't come, then America is lost to the Progressives, probably forever.
I have a similar worry.
ReplyDeleteI think that if the Republican's win this November, they, and we, will have a very short two years to make the case for freedom and liberty over regulation and welfare.
It will not be easy. We have several generations of citizens raised in a culture of "self esteem" narcissism. Their world view will not be easy to alter.
