This will not be the main story by election day; the news cycle moves too fast now. Consider that:
- The Manafort and Cohen verdict/plea happened a little over a month ago, were huge news, and who's talking about them now?
- At this point in the 2016 cycle, the Entertainment Tonight Tape had just dropped, and people were talking about Hillary winning Texas and Georgia and Dems winning 8-10 seats in the Senate and possibly even winning the House

You really have to hand it to Atlas....despite the spectacular special election results (with dems winning seats not won in decades), record setting fundraising and volunteering, running record amounts of candidates (including the most state legislature candidates since 1982), Trump's approval in the toilet....Atlas thinks that all that momentum will evaporate over this Kavanaugh nonsense. Literally nobody cares except political nerds and the MSM (which of course is looking for its bogus story of the week).

I think it's less about Democratic turnout evaporating than it is Republican turnout surging and cancelling out a lot of that momentum.

Elections dont work like that. Unless unforseen events happen that negatively impact voters quality of life (like an economic collapse)....voters by and large remain unmotivated when their party is running things. The Republican fantasy fiction that GOP voters would "surge" due to Kavanaugh's nomination is ridiculous because it assumes that all Republican voters are some intellectually monolothic bloc that intensely pays attention to politics. The vast majority are idiots with no actual  clear ideology and they have little to no desire to understand issues which are not clearly and directly related to them as individuals.

I'll guess Rosen +1, and then everyone will say that this "confirms" that NV is a Toss-Up Roll Eyes

The CNN poll could very well be their attempt at pushing the narrative that the Kavanaugh bump isn't real. I'm skeptical of the idea that the GCB is so polarized along gender lines, with 63R- 33D for Women and 50R-45D for Men. I'm also skeptical of the idea that they're winning the 65+ demographic at 57% to 39%.

A sample of 44% independents, 31% Democrats, and 25% Republicans also seems sketchy to me.  It's funny to see Atlas become dismissive of the NYTimes Upshot / Siena polls, but accept CNN/SSRS ones hook line and sinker. Note that CNN dropped ORC in favor of SSRS because their ORC polls in 2016 (and in 2014 as well) were way off. Time will tell if these SSRS polls are shown to be reliable. I'm not aware of SSRS predicting any election. They seem to be a brand new outlet.

When it comes to Atlas' bias for some firms over others, I think it's because many here want the Blue Wave so very badly that it clouds their judgments. Of course, I'm not the first one to say that, and I won't be the last.

MN-07 (ALG, Peterson internal)

“An Anzalone Liszt Grove survey of 500 likely voters from Sept. 5-10 found him leading Hughes 53 percent to 35 percent. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.”

Not really

Ipsos was D+12 last week and CNN was D+12 back in September. The big takeaway from this poll is that Kavanaugh hasn't made an impact either way in house races.

You should just ignore Ipsos. Wait for some more real pollsters to come out with polls. We should see some more this week from good pollsters. Many of them were probably waiting to go into the field post-Kavanaugh.

While the new Ipsos numbers look good for the Democrats, keep in mind that their poll tends to be VERY bouncy.

The Barr +2 R internal and the McGrath +7 D internal both say the exact same thing when the deduct 4/5 points for an internal rule is applied to both of them.

Also important: In 2016, the GOP lost seats.
