BREAKING QUINNIPIAC POLL GENERIC BALLOT -Democrats 52% Deplorables 37%

Voters say 52 - 37 percent they want the Democrats to control of the House of Representatives, and say 53 - 37 percent they want Democrats to control the Senate.

https://poll.qu.edu/national/release-detail?ReleaseID=2509

American voters disapprove 59 - 37 percent with the way Trump is doing his job overall and give him low grades on most character traits:
62 - 34 percent that he is not honest;
62 - 35 percent that he does not have good leadership skills;
62 - 37 percent, that he does not care about average Americans;
70 - 28 percent that he is not level headed;
57 - 40 percent that he is a strong person;
52 - 45 percent that he is intelligent; *
65 - 32 percent that he does not share their values.

*This is the only positive number and It's narrowing. I'll donate $5.00 to charity for every point over 100 Trump's I.Q. is .

Same thing happened with Bush Jr. People rated him highly on "strong and decisive," because he acted like a cowboy even though it seemed clear he was being manipulated by neocons.

If it really is fifteen we will win back the House and Senate, despite gerrymandering. We will also win a bunch of seats in state legislatures.

From December 13 - 18, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,230 voters nationwide with a margin of error of +/- 3.3 percentage points, including the design effect. Live interviewers call landlines and cell phones.

A poll that simply states "Democrats 52% Deplorables 37" tells us nothing, particularly since so many Democrats are concentrated in densely packed urban areas which fewer representatives.

it's a friggin popularity contest...just like high school. Someone 'attractive' would not be a bad thing either...I think people are programmed to 'like' the attractive face. Kamala Harris would fit that one. Think about it, people want Michelle Obama to run, she won't so how bout Kamala? I

Kinda like that Rep from CT...he's a little cutie now isn't he and well spoken and smart. I say VP for him.
