Signs grow for Dem wave in House race

Signs of a blue wave are increasing as lawmakers return to Washington for their final few weeks of legislative work before the crucial midterm elections.

Democrats have led Republicans by at least 11 points in five of the last six polls asking voters whether they favor a generic Democrat or a generic Republican in the race for Congress.

That margin only slightly trails the Democratic advantage in 2006, when the party won back control of Congress.

Democrats also enjoy a fundraising advantage, one that is perhaps bolstered by polls showing their party is more enthusiastic about turning out to vote this November, figures borne out by higher turnout in Democratic primary contests in states across the country.

can only hope. Last Friday at our Sign up table,that gave me hope seeing all the Young Folks Signing up to Vote. Now,we need to keep on keeping on to get our people to the Polls.

2014 was a killer,and that just plied on top of 2010. And that one really wiped our Party out in Local Elections. Noticed locally the Rethugs are just running 2010 and 2014 bullshit talking Points.
