Democrats solidify their lead in midterm elections matchup . ABC News/WaPo Poll

[mucifer]

Democrats have solidified their position in the November midterm elections in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll, maintaining a 12-point lead among registered voters while improving to a wide 14-point advantage among likely voters in congressional preference.

Democrats typically lose support in the shift to likely voters, given lower turnout among their stalwart groups. That’s not the case now: Among those most likely to vote, 54 percent support the Democratic candidate in their congressional district, compared to 40 percent for the Republican.

Nonwhites favor the Democrat in their congressional district by a 59-point margin, 74-15 percent, up from 32 points in November. And Democratic candidates win support from a vast two-thirds of women, 64-29 percent, up from 55-40 percent in the fall. The race is steady among men, 42-51 percent.

In another key group, 51 percent of political independents support the Democratic candidate, compared to 37 percent for the Republican –- a wide and important gap, though, in this case, unchanged.

1. I wonder if CNN will report this poll

like they did the poll that showed Dems had lost their double digit advantage. I wasn't even around much this weekend (was at the NYC March on Saturday) and saw that poll mentioned at least a dozen times.

Resistance In the Streets Persists
Posted on January 20, 2018

On the one year anniversary of the Women’s March, (which took place on the anniversary of the Inauguration of Donald Trump and on the morning after the government shutdown), people took to the streets around the country once again. Over 235 marches were scheduled to take place on the anniversary of the march this weekend. Based on photos of these events and my experiences in Washington, DC, turnout was impressive. Attached Chapter 2, which summarizes Resistance in the Streets over its first year.

Stay tuned for a summary of the data we collected from a random sample of 204 participants at the Women’s March today! .................

4. They'll need to add another bar for 'Republican Candidate with hacking and cheating assistance.'

Because as far as I know, nothing has been done to fix things from our last stolen election.

10. Take nothing for granted, ever

There will tons of money donated to GOP. Koch brothers alone say they are increasing their donations by 50% or more. And I'm sure the russians will be more involved than in 2016, since the GOP has done nothing to thwart their actions. Be inspired and hopeful, but take nothing for granted.
