It's Only June



Things are not looking so swell for the GOP

From 3BlueDudes:

A new Democracy Corps poll has great news for the Democrats and dismal news for the Republicans. A poll of Republican-held districts indicates that the Democrats are poised for big gains in the fall elections, perhaps as many as 20-25 in the House of Representatives. A win of that sort — a true tidal wave — would give the Democrats a massive majority in the House. Sound fanciful? Yeah, it does — sorta — but consider the Democracy Corps poll before dismissing it entirely.

The poll surveyed 1,600 people in 45 GOP-held districts, from the competitive Tier 1 to tougher-to-win Tier 2 with the named incumbents and their opponents used rather than generic match-ups. The results showed the Democratic candidate winning the Tier 1 races 51%-42%, and the Tier 2 races 48-45 percent.
