Economic satisfaction under Trump isn't helping his party's 2018 chances
By a whopping 25-point margin, voters say they’re more likely to back a congressional candidate who promises to serve as a check on President Donald Trump, according to a new national poll from NBC News and the Wall Street Journal.
And by a similar margin, they say they’re less likely to vote for someone who has supported the president on most issues.
At the same time, six-in-10 are satisfied with the U.S. economy, and a plurality of voters give Trump credit for the economic improvement.
Despite that economic optimism, however, the poll shows that Democrats enjoy a 10-point advantage on congressional preference, with 50 percent of registered voters wanting a Democratic-controlled Congress, versus 40 percent who want a GOP-controlled one.
Democrats held a 7-point edge on this question back in April, 47 percent to 40 percent.

New poll points to a big blue wave.
So much for the "red" revival.
I hope this ends up being true in the Senate. There are 33 contested seats right now.
Safe GOP Seats
According to RCP anyway.
The graph looks much better following the link.
Well, I think Stabenow is safe, I live in her district in MI now and, it seems that the people at least respect her enough to vote for her again.
Jah. It looks like that seat will stay the same.
Menendez on the other hand, I see him losing.
I remember polls saying it was going to be president Clinton. That didn't happen either .
Well, keep hoping then.
Well, it seems like Trump had some unexpected assistance.
Point taken though. There is always uncertainty. You never know when somebody can be behind and then miraculously capture the remaining 100 ish electoral votes.
Well, the polls can say what they want, I remember saying Clinton would lose if the Democrats didn't take Trump seriously, now, I'll say this, the Democrats have a good chance at taking back both the house and, the senate with the new blood that is out there but, they have to pay attention to that new blood.
The Democrats need a way to get a heavy youth vote turnout. That will be the key.
I think there are a bunch of kids who are turning 18 this year from high schools around the country that have a reason to vote for someone other than a Republican. Does Parkland come to mind?
In some states that is already beginning to happen. Does Pennsylvania ring a bell?
The Republicans and, the NRA pissed off a bunch of 18 year olds, who do you think they're going to vote for this year and, who do you think they're going to ask their parents to vote for this year? By the way, their parents are pissed off at the Republicans as well.
Just for you,
There's cure for that. Comes in cream or ointment.
Why, inferior seems to work for y'all.
No electoral college, in this election the people get to choose.
It's true that it took until late that night for all the votes to come in and, a decision to be made but, there were a lot of rural counties that went for Trump by double digits, however, in recent special elections in the state Democrats have been winning by a nice margin so, we will see in November if it holds.
Which had little to do with quality and much to do with gerrymandering.
Optimist!
Are you denying the GOP their due for using a political strategy that worked spectacularly for them. I know that they've had a few hiccups in recent years with the courts, and a couple of them have gone to prison, but hey, they got away with a lot of it and you really should respect their long term planning on your behalf.
Get back to me when you've got a cogent point. I'll miss you...
Elaborate please.
"superior candidates"
That's how we elected Obama twice.
And yet uneducated rednecks keep squeezing out more uneducated rednecks at a phenomenal rate.
See that is where you and I differ significantly. I discuss shit in good faith and don't jump to that conclusion about your comments, yet when I make a factual statement, you ASSUME that I'm 'whining and bitching'.
Pffftt.
They have but, without these results,

Nothing like this has happened since the civil rights era.
You mean like one who most people vote for?
Yeah...those voices...Like the ones that give you catch phrases to use because you don't have the mental capacity to use your own words...
Let's see...."Abuela" was the "word of the week for the weak" vol. 32 I think. That came after you and your fellow genius's wore out "Marxist, Statists, Communists, Kenyans, witch doctor, chimpanzee....."
You show you have to be spoon fed your thoughts...How intellectually unfortunate.
Sweeping Generalization "BF"
New poll points to a big blue wave.
So much for the "red" revival.
You just keep believing those polls. The average Dimocrat hearing that won't even bother to go vote.
Kind of sucks when Fox News actually pointed that out in their 6/9 Poll showing that the Dems have a 9 point lead that is growing.
It kind of sounds like people want Trump to be an economic czar but not have a damn thing to do with anything else.
As if Donald Trump is the only person in the country that can lower unemployment or keep the stock market humming.
We have a lot of brainwashed conservatives in this country.
No shit.
Not brainwashed, just plain stupid. Look how easily they are led...The Tea Party soaked them for billions, they followed the dumbest candidate ever and when she lost they followed her equally limited clone.
You can see it all the time...someone on the right says "Gruber" and they all started squawking "Gruber" same goes for "Muslim, Socialist, Marxist, Deep State...etc."
There are definitely a lot of misinformed people in America. More than anyone ever previously imagined.
I thought it was the liberals that followed Clinton.
It is, but I said dumbest, that falls right back to the right.
Hillary Clinton definitely wouldn't say she doesn't need to prepare much for a major summit between two adversaries.
Your dumb messiah did.
He was smart enough to beat her.
No...Trump was nowhere near smart enough to beat her, it was those who hacked the voting that were smart enough for him to win.
With his own smarts, Trump couldn't win a game of hopscotch against himself.
Nope, he didn't even expect to win, he made outrageous racist gestures and the Bigots ate it up like candy.
Now his house is crashing down around him, Nobody wants to work for him, he's a pathetic joke to our allies, Mueller is closing in on him, He's got a major economic downturn coming that every economist agrees with and he's doing nothing to stave it off and his marriage is already the shambles the right predicted and swore about the Obama's marriage. She even corrected Giulliani about her believing her husband. Gotta be sad when it's public that your wife has made it clear she doesn't forgive her lying and philandering husband.
This is going to end worse than Bush Jr.'s administration....more like a combination of Bush's and Nixon's terms combined.
He's going to fuck up the economy like he's always done except the USA can't claim bankruptcy. He'll be lucky if he doesn't get indicted and resign in disgrace, which I have always believed will happen.
Do give some proof and examples that prove that any votes were changed because of hacking. Show where any voting machine was hacked in Trumps favor.
Don't worry. I got some fresh cricket food in so they will be ok
I have seen some of your predictions before so as far as these predictions all I can say is "Congratulations on winning a second term Mr President. "
There is no possible way the vote was hacked.
Kind of reminds me of this,
Then surely you can point them out...or are you just blowing wind as usual?
Trump has already destroyed the Republican Party. He planned it from the very beginning just like Bannon wanted.
And Trump knows that every single Republican voter will do what they always do no matter how unsuitable a candidate, Republican voters will vote Republican. They will check the box with an "R" beside it no matter what.
Republican voters have changed their story about why they vote with every single election cycle, from social issues to economic issues, they flip flop and contradict themselves.
They don't care about real issues that affect them directly, except they think a Republican will deliver anything to them as long as the Republican running promises them whatever they want to hear.
Where is the " tea party" on taxes, they are gone in the wind while Trump handed the wealthy a windfall beyond comprehension while every year that passes they will suffer as they file their own taxes. It hasn't hit them all yet.
Where is the "tea party" and fiscal conservatives who banged the drum loudly on DEFICITS!! They are nowhere to be found as we suffer the biggest deficits in American history.
Where is the "tea party" protesting the loss of American jobs under Trump due to tariffs which are just beginning to hit the farmers and steel workers and every associated business?
The "tea party" influx of politicians is fading and Republicans are retiring or resigning due to scandal every day.
Trump will never allow a third party to gain power, so Libertarians, Independents and the rest might as well save their breath and close up shop. Republicans will stand by their man as long as he has the "R" next to his affiliation.
Trump already knows the base will kowtow and vote Republican, even if he himself goes down for any reason.
Remember when Palin lost? Suddenly all those blathering suddenly were claiming they were "Independents" and always were....same after "Romney in a landslide" didn't happen.
I believe the "NBC type Polls" as much as the "Left" believes "Fox Polls".
The shock on ALL the networks faces when Trump WON...… PRICELESS !
I just do my thing (Vote) and wait for the "Actual" results in the end.
The "Left" still relying on polls...… PRICELESS AGAIN ! This time will be "Different".
But the blue wave is imminent, you just wait and see.....
'Economic Satisfaction Under Trump.' ? ? ?
I shall digress. Things on main Street are not that good. Things on Wall Street are----------------unexplainable.
I suspect everything under Trump is propaganda.
