Democrats are in a state of pure denial over the fact that their black supremacist, violently white-hating party has alienated too many people in a white-majority country. They think it's possible dehumanize the working class for years and still win their vote, which is another symptom of liberalism being a mental illness..
 
SurveyMonkey? :)

Nobody has a clue really at this stage.

Why?

Because none of us are going to know how much Twitter will fuck up.

Oh bullshit. The gop may well get wiped out in the House in places like NY and CA. The dems may take the House. But notions that they'd hold their vulnerable Senate seats they won when Obama was running for his second term are ..... imo not gonna happen. But remember, the dems GAINED senate seats when Trump won the presidency, and that is very unusual. 2020 is very uncertain.

the SurveyMonkey numbers for the Heitkamp race are consistent with other polls i've posted before. these are reliable numbers. deal with it.
 
The left wing media said the same thing about the Hillary campaign. Democrats still play by the old game plan where push polls and media hype used to be influential in elections but the problem is that it doesn't work in the age of information. People are smarter than democrats.

Wrong, you're in denial then yourself, the Democrats have doubled down on their abhorrent, anti-social behavior since the 2016 election for over a year now, they're obviously pissing the public off now more than before the '16 election.
 
Here are 10 Senate seats that could flip, in alphabetical order:



Bill Nelson (D-Fla.)

Democrats came into 2016 bullish about the Sunshine State.

But Republican incumbent Marco Rubio’s decision to run for reelection cleared the muddled field and, ultimately, a surge in rural Republican voters outpaced Democrats’ gains in cities and with Hispanics. When the dust settled, Trump won by 1 percentage point, while Rubio held on to his seat by 8 points.

Nelson, a three-term senator, is a well-known commodity in Florida, having held public office there since 1972. And he starts with a net 14-point approval rating, according to an October poll from Public Policy Polling.

Possible challengers could include term-limited Gov. Rick Scott (R), a Trump ally, or any of the politicians who eyed the seat in 2016, including outgoing GOP Reps. David Jolly or Ron DeSantis.

Millionaire Carlos Beruff and Lt. Gov. Carlos Lopez-Cantera, both 2016 candidates, could also jump in. But the two are Scott allies, so it’s unlikely either would challenge the governor should he decide to run.



Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.)

No state’s Senate race changed more in 2016 than Indiana’s. Republicans started the cycle looking likely to keep control of outgoing Sen. Dan Coats’s seat with Democratic Rep. Barron Hill in the race. Then it seemed destined to go Democratic once Hill dropped out and former Sen. Evan Bayh jumped in.

But a flurry of damaging stories and revelations stunted Bayh’s comeback, giving Rep. Todd Young a 10-point win behind Trump’s 19-point victory.

Donnelly seemed to have an uphill battle against Sen. Richard Lugar (R) in 2012, until the incumbent was toppled by former Indiana Treasurer Richard Mourdock.

Look for a much tighter race now, with potential GOP candidates such as Reps. Luke Messer, Susan Brooks or Marlin Stutzman, who ran in the primary this past spring, in the mix.



Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.)

Democrats are fresh off of a tight loss challenging Republican Sen. Roy Blunt’s reelection and now have to pivot to defending one of their own. Democrat Jason Kander fell to Blunt by 3 points, while Trump won the state by 19 points.

McCaskill has won tough races before — she defeated incumbent Republican Sen. Jim Talent for her seat in 2008 and dispatched Rep. Todd Akin in 2012, a race that had been considered close until Akin’s infamous comment about “legitimate rape.”

Republicans will likely eye the red-state seat as a major pickup opportunity, potentially by one of the state’s six GOP lawmakers.



Jon Tester (D-Mont.)

Tester steered the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee in 2016, so he’s led the party through its share of tough races. And winning as a Democrat in Montana is no easy feat.

Trump won the presidential vote by 21 points in Montana, but Gov. Steve Bullock (D) tapped into the state’s bipartisan leanings with his own 4-point win.

GOP Rep. Ryan Zinke, the state’s only congressman, is seen as best positioned for a potential Tester challenge.



Dean Heller (R-Nev.)

Nevada was one of the shining lights for Democrats up and down the ticket in 2016 — Clinton held the state by 2 points, the same margin that former state Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto defeated Republican Rep. Joe Heck by to win the open Senate seat.

That’ll give Democrats confidence coming into one of their few strong pickup opportunities of 2018.

Look for the scramble to start right back up, with names like Rep. Dina Titus and retiring Sen. Harry Reid’s son Rory leading the first round of speculation.



Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.)

North Dakota is another ruby-red state coming off a Republican blowout in 2016. Trump won by 36 points, Sen. John Hoeven won reelection by 62 points, and Republican Gov.-elect Doug Burgum won by 58 points.

Rep. Kevin Cramer (R), the state’s only congressman, could entertain a bid against one of the Senate’s 21 women.



Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio)

Brown’s populist streak has won him favor in Ohio for more than two decades, including two terms in the Senate, helping him win reelection in 2012 by 6 points.

But Ohio took a sharp turn in the GOP’s direction in 2016, with Trump winning by 8 points, a larger margin than each of the past five presidential elections there. And Sen. Rob Portman won by 21 points over his Democratic challenger, former Gov. Ted Strickland.

A term-limited Gov. John Kasich (R) could look to jump back to Congress, or state Treasurer Josh Mandel could look for a rematch against Brown, depending on who decides to run to replace Kasich.



Bob Casey (D-Pa.)

The Casey name has been in Pennsylvania politics for about a half-century, beginning with Casey’s father, who started in the state Senate in 1963 before stints as the auditor general and governor.

Casey has won big even in the tight state — he defeated incumbent GOP Sen. Rick Santorum by 18 points in 2006 and won reelection by 9 points in 2012.

This year, GOP Sen. Pat Toomey won reelection by 2 points, bucking all the polls, and the electorate only stands to become more favorable for Republicans in an off year.

Potential candidates could include two early Trump backers in Congress, Reps. Lou Barletta and Tom Marino, or others such as Rep. Pat Meehan. State Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman is another who could consider a bid, but many are in a holding pattern until Gov. Tom Wolf (D) decides whether he’ll seek reelection.



Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.)

Manchin’s decision to run for reelection boosted the hopes of Democrats looking to hold the deep-red state.

Trump won the state by 42 points, but the Mountain State bucked the idea of voting straight ticket, electing Democratic coal executive Jim Justice to the governor’s mansion with a 7-point margin.

Republican state Attorney General Patrick Morrisey could consider a bid, as could GOP Reps. David McKinley, Alex Mooney or Evan Jenkins.



Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.)

The Wisconsin Republican infrastructure in the state helped Gov. Scott Walker win three elections in six years, including during the 2012 election that saw wins by both Baldwin and President Obama.

Trump’s 1-point victory there, as well as Johnson’s comeback 3-point victory, gives Republicans hope to build on those margins with a midterm electorate.

Walker is likely to run for reelection, but his lieutenant governor, Rebecca Kleefisch, could decide to go national. Rep. Sean Duffy is another name mentioned as a potential Senate contender.
 
whitehall does not want you all to know that he loves alt right push polls and media hype, like he is doing above.
 
Just like the media gave Democrats a false certainty that Hillary was going to win in 2016...they are doing the same thing in the run up to 2018...attempting to influence the election by generating fake democrat energy by creating the illusionary wave...it is a total fabrication. When the wave doesn't materialize, it will be a second crushing moral defeat that may destroy the Democrat Party.

Maybe 5% of the population, billfunny.
