A political tsunami in November?

According to a new Gallup poll, it's not looking too good for democrats this November.

On its generic ballot question, it asks, "which party’s candidates would you vote for in the election for House of Representatives?" Among registered voters Gallup shows Republicans ahead by 46%-42%. What's even more interesting is Gallup's numbers on both the high and low end models:

On the high turnout,Republicans lead 53%-40%. Under its low turnout Republicans lead 56%-38%.



What these numbers mean is nothing short of a repeat of 1994 and possibly even 1894. Politics being the way it is, as well as the amount of pissed off Americans there are, who knows what can happen.

Gallup - More Say Healthcare Not Governments Responsibilty

PRINCETON, NJ -- More Americans now say it is not the federal government's responsibility to make sure all Americans have healthcare coverage (50%) than say it is (47%). This is a first since Gallup began tracking this question, and a significant shift from as recently as three years ago, when two-thirds said ensuring healthcare coverage was the government's responsibility. Gallup has asked this question each November since 2001 as part of the Gallup Poll Social Series, and most recently in its Nov. 5-8 Health and Healthcare survey. There have been some fluctuations from year to year, but this year marks the first time in the history of this trend that less than half of Americans say ensuring healthcare coverage for all is the federal government's responsibility.
