Republicans Freak Out After Polls Show Democrats Leading 3 Out of 4 Senate Races



Republicans are freaking out after new polls showed Democrats leading or tied in four key Southern Senate races.

The latest New York Times Upshot/Kaiser Family Foundation Senate polls contained some bad news for Republicans. In three out of four Senate races they polled, Democrats led. In the one race where a Republican led, the lead was within the margin of error.

People are accepting the ACA, and the Dems need to promote the good program that it is!

It's very nice to have a TiVo so I can skip the anti-Hagan ads. They started last summer.

We have big money donors similar to the Koch Brothers who have a great deal of influence with politicians I vote for.

So only one side really has that big a pile of cash.

This isn't a "both sides do it" thing.

Also, it ain't over until it's over.

Still, cheery news is always fun, especially when they've been trying to imprint "enthusiasm gap" on the brains of Democrats for quite a while now. No one wants to see the Democrats lose the majority in the Senate.

people think the same as they do. They think people don't want healthcare or don't want the rich to pay more in taxes or don't want to do away with tax loopholes for the rich or don't want unemployment extended and on and on and on.


Welcome to the real world GOP...you keep denying. (I hope you never wake up)then we'll finally get our day.

It's a liberal media conspiracy. Though it seems just a couple of weeks ago polls were saying Republicans could keep house and gain senate.. I suppose some law changes are ahead for us eh?

She's the star of the Dem party and she needs to be out there in these states like Ark., NC, and TX.
