Oh well. All that newfound optimism was making me uneasy anyway. It’s always better to be pessimistic — that way you can never be disappointed.
CNN’s got the generic at 20. Between them and Fox, even if it’s true that polls underestimate Republican support, they don’t underestimate it by 15 points, folks.
Oh, did I mention that Survey USA has Webb ahead of Allen — by seven?
Come home to daddy. Come home to pessimism.
Here’s a little optimism to sweeten the pot: Talent’s back up by one in Missouri, Santorum’s within four according to some pollster I’ve never heard of, and Joementum looks like a mortal lock in Connecticut.
Corker’s up four on Ford in Tennessee too, leading Junior to call in Barack Obama and draw the logical conclusion from their absolute moral authority as black Democrats.
Meanwhile, Hitchens thinks we’re all idiots, the Daily Show expands its stable of fake newsmen for election night, and Americans turn on their televisions and wonder — why is this man smiling?
Update: Cause for optimism — Dick Morris says we’re going to get blown out.
Update: Rumor has it that Junior’s headed to Wall Street if he flames out against Corker. Why? Because God wants it that way.
Update: Suddenly, Richard Armitage’s deafening silence during Plamegate makes perfect sense:
The former US deputy secretary of state Richard Armitage - a Republican who opposed the Iraq war - said his party would pay the price for presenting an “angry face” to the world after the September 11 attacks.
“We were showing a very snarly and angry face,” Mr Armitage said. “I think it’s understandable to a certain degree.
“But we’re well past that now, and it’s time to turn another face to the world, back to more traditional things such as the export of hope and opportunity.”
Update: Kos’s upset special? Lamont over Lieberman in Connecticut.
Alas, his other predictions are pretty solid.
Update: Ace makes the arguments that polls by phone almost necessarily oversample Democrats.
Update: Christopher Dickey of Newsweek reminds you to fight the real enemy:
Saddam wanted to keep the Iraqi state together, with well-defended borders, in the face of a growing threat from the wild-eyed mullahs in Iran. He would kill anybody who threatened that design. And in the 1980s the Reagan administration (with a little token hand wringing) thought that was just fine.
The Democrats, while they may be feckless, are largely blameless in this drama. President Jimmy Carter was too busy bungling the Iran hostage crisis to pay much attention to Saddam, and probably was thankful, for a minute or two, when Iraq launched its war on Iran in 1980. By the time Bill Clinton came to office in 1993—after Saddam had invaded Kuwait, been driven out, and been allowed to survive—there wasn’t that much left for an American president to do, unless he wanted to invade the country, topple the dictator, occupy Baghdad and … well, the Clinton administration had other priorities…
You remember President George W. Bush smugly telling The Washington Post in January 2005, “We had an accountability moment, and that’s called the 2004 elections.”
Another accountability moment is coming. Sunday was judgment day for Saddam, who probably will hang. Tuesday will be judgment day for Republicans. What will happen to them afterward, well, we’ll have to wait and see.
Update: Dan Riehl says the Webb-Allen poll is FUBAR.

I question a lot of these polls…. they seem to be all over the place this year. They seem to change way too much…. the swings are too large.
and this poll??? 900 people NATIONWIDE? called by phone?
They really need to take a hard look at there statistical models… bet this one is wayyyyy off.
Romeo13 on November 6, 2006 at 1:23 PM
Personally, I’m getting a little tired of this poll says this, this poll says that. It’s gonna be so close that no one really has a flippin’ clue. BTW, Allah, your doing a great job finding those goofy pics of Waffles. Of course considering the subject matter it’s probably not that difficult a task.

Limerick on November 6, 2006 at 1:25 PM
Eh - I’m not a big believer in media-driven polls. If I remember right, most media polls had the race in 2004 tied and didn’t capture the actual result; most independent pollsters predicted a narrow Bush victory.
Bad methodology and party affiliation weighing in most of them.
The Survey USA poll results are bad news, as that tends to be a somewhat accurate poll.
Don’t mistake this post for optimism, though. My prediction still stands - lose the House, barely keep the Senate.
Slublog on November 6, 2006 at 1:25 PM

Pablo on November 6, 2006 at 1:26 PM

marykatharine on November 6, 2006 at 1:27 PM
If they’re consistent. They’ve been all over the place this year, and I have a feeling that after tomorrow we are going to need extra egg to slop on the faces of the various pollsters from this cycle.
It’s still an uphill battle for us, but it’s not unwinnable.
thirteen28 on November 6, 2006 at 1:28 PM
AP, Michelle
I saved 2004 and 2002 on my toshiba laptop which went DOA on arrival in the gulf of Arabia but the Generic in 2004 was wildly vaciliating fron +1 Republicans to -22 (Democrats) in the last week.
Also, RCP has real small polls from all of these outfits and if I’m not mistaken - the variations of methodologies as well as weighted factors and their differential make it nearly impossible now to tell anything except well, the election is tomorrow.
My personal opinion is that its going to be either one side or the other wins :)
EricPWJohnson on November 6, 2006 at 1:29 PM
That’s why we’re fans, MKH ;)

RCP has a look at the Gallup and Mason Dixon final polls from 04. Gallup was not right once.

F— the polls. Get out and vote, and show how meaningless their Psy Ops really are. We play this game every election cycle.
ReubenJCogburn on November 6, 2006 at 1:31 PM
You and me both, Marykatharine. All these polls prove is that polling is busted.
DannoJyd on November 6, 2006 at 1:34 PM
AP,
CNN has the worst record - see the Survey USA interactive scorcard their accuracy rate is less than 20 or 30% and they consistently pick the wrong winner, now this of course is all according to another competitor but here is a link to CNN’s 2004 predictor however on thier broadcast they stated that as a fact that the independents were breaking for Kerry and he was going to win 52% to 54% of the vote

EricPWJohnson on November 6, 2006 at 1:35 PM
Hey look the St Louis Cardinals won a world series championship so anything is possible. The only sliver of hope I have is even if things go badly and Pelosi becomes speaker the real champions of this war on islamofascism will still be in place, meaning Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney and the DoD.
I certainly won’t be watching as much news, sorry Fox, because it will no doubt be all about investigations proposed, pending, and ongoing.

dementia unbound on November 6, 2006 at 1:39 PM
In searching for reasons WHY the republicans are going to lose, this quote from Dick Morris’ article struck a chord. I thought it was interesting that voters expect democrats to be corrupt. I guess that’s why they always get a pass from the MSM.
And AP, i understand your “glass half empty” point of view, but I am the ultimate optimist, even while sticking my head in the sand. I hope you are wrong on this one, friend.

And be sure to kick him when he falls down, too.
jaleach on November 6, 2006 at 1:41 PM
Here’s a poll for you: Fox News is trending left.
Just watch folks, really closely. Anyone else notice the Fox commentator this morning try to spin the polls showing Corker running off and leaving Jr. in the dust?
He said [quote,] “It’s a shame Ford’s going to lose” when these less qualified Dems. are winning elsewhere.
Huh? Why is he qualified other than he’s a pretty boy, oh and he likes football and girls?
y2church on November 6, 2006 at 1:42 PM
And how many of us have been polled by these polling firms? I’ve voted for 25 years and have never been called. It all gets settled tomorrow by real people, casting real votes. Pray the American people make the right choice.

Nice Limerick, I hadn’t made that connection.
Pitiful, backing down thanks to the slickster.
Are there men left in DC or the media?
Oh, and hey, I’m a GOP’er but let me point this out. We’ve OWNED the government (minus the SCOTUS [well, the GOP owns it but not the conservatives]) for the last 6 years and millions of babies still get murdered every year. So….
If “we” lose tomorrow, life “will go on”….
or was that “will continue to be terminated.”
y2church on November 6, 2006 at 1:51 PM

I would not believe Dick Morris if he told me the sun would rise in the East tomorrow…We are going to win this thing and keep the governance of this country where it belongs…in the hands of sane people.
DoctorDentons on November 6, 2006 at 2:00 PM
These “generic polls” are meaningless. Taking a poll of over-all voter intent doesn’t relate to individual races.
The only polls that matter are those specific to each race, and even those are almost always slanted with more Dems being included than Republicans.
Why are we wasting time even discussing it? Just vote!
Gregor on November 6, 2006 at 2:01 PM
Constantine,
If the Democrats win does that mean there is no fraud? No illegal immigrants voting, no dead people voting? Democrats stand for obvious vote manipulation then cry foul when they lose.

You’ll never come out looking smart if you go into an election optimistic. Always be pessimistic.
frankj on November 6, 2006 at 2:05 PM
Polls Schmolls.
Remember that in 2004 even the exit polls had Kerry as the big winner.
I really don’t know why Hot Air keeps posting that stuff. Is it to rally the GOP base by panic? If that’s the case - thank you, we got the message, no need to repeat the same old same old polls over and over and over again.
Niko on November 6, 2006 at 2:06 PM
Where is P. Diddy to tell us to Vote or Die? I’m still not buying this poll BS (what kind of sample is 900 people, when we’re talking about local elections anyway?), but the pessimism is disheartening. I hope some of the undecideds understand what we’re in for if the Dems take either house. Quite simply, we’re fu**ed.
You know, call it a “vision” or whatever, but I see us being screwed for a while if they win anything. After watching Fox’s special on “Obsession” this weekend, I am now convinced that in between 10 to 30 years, when Europe is totally screwed and being taken over by radical Islam, we’ll have to bale them out when everyone (Europe and us) finally wakes up.
By the way, any readers live in VT want to take a ride and go cut down the “9/11 Truth” banner I see some of these douche bags managed to get hung up in some trees off of the I-89? Looking at Google Earth I see where we could hike the approximately half mile to the site and cut the ropes.
RightWinged on November 6, 2006 at 2:07 PM
Constantine, I warned all liberals reading this blog (or the comments section anyway) a long time ago to abandon all hope because the all-knowing, all-seeing KKKarl the Omnipotent already had this election in the bag for Republicans.
So just don’t bother. Go home, go get in that fetal position, and sulk about yet another election you guys lost due to the machinations of the Evil Rove.
thirteen28 on November 6, 2006 at 2:08 PM

Here’s hoping you and your kind will believe your nonsense and simply stay home tomorrow. Seriously! What’s the use? It’s rigged anyway, right? So why bother?

It isn’t easy pretending to be that incompetent!
Pablo on November 6, 2006 at 2:12 PM
Haha, that’s probably close to a 30-35 hour drive Limerick.
I’ll probably just wind up calling the police to see if they’ll do anything about it.
RightWinged on November 6, 2006 at 2:14 PM
I’ll second that. I don’t care if it’s misguided. I like the optimism.
But even if everything Allah is saying is correct, I still feel there is some cause for optimism. Afterall, just about everyone, including MM have been saying the party of the president is supposed to lose seats at the midterm. That’s just historically accurate.
And I know Allah is no fan of Coulter, but she put it in an interesting light in her last column…
We’re already the winners here. I’ll be voting tommorrow to help ensure that we stay that way, but even a bad outcome at the election cannot take away what we’ve already won.
Esthier on November 6, 2006 at 2:16 PM
Ahh! You’re killing me with all these sh*t-eating grins! That Kerry shot is over the top.
And Constantine, you mean those rigged voting machines that Hugo Chavez owns stock in? Yep that’s got to be scary for libs. We all know how much Chavez loves the conservatives in this country.

I’m good to go, Limerick–just picked up my ninja outfit from the ninja cleaners!
But seriously, folks–nobody can demoralize you unless you let them. If we do end up losing, it had damn well better be because they beat us and not because we beat ourselves. That’s what they do, and I refuse to stoop so low. Just get the troops out to kick ass and take names tomorrow, and when the smoke clears, we’ll get to watch the Great Democratic Implosion of ‘06.
ReubenJCogburn on November 6, 2006 at 2:25 PM
The whole voting machine thing is irritating. Dems cry foul because the paper ballots were too old fashioned, not accurate with all the “hanging chads”,it was too complicated. Now with electronic voting it’s too modern, still too confusing, too easy to hack, etc… Make up your minds. Why don’t we just give everyone little pieces of paper and throw them all in a big hat and count them that way.
vcferlita on November 6, 2006 at 2:28 PM
Allah…..now the reps have REAL problems…Fox is reporting that Cheney is going hunting tomorrow! Lord have mercy on us!
Limerick on November 6, 2006 at 2:30 PM
Just a few quick points… I don’t know the sample size of the CNN poll, but Fox’s was like 900… much less than others, and less than half of Pew’s.. But even with the larger sampling sizes, how can it be that reliable? We’re talking about a national poll, but individual races. How many people from what districts were actually polled? I mean, even if they got some from every district, I doubt we could really gauge anything from the tiny amount they’ve polled. How many races are there? Tell me and we can do some rought math.
RightWinged on November 6, 2006 at 2:31 PM
RightWinged….AJStrata at Strata-Sphere has done a great set of analysis of the polling data. A long thread(s) but it makes sense to this farm boy.

Either way I’ll be able to find some good in the outcome. If the Republicans win or at least maintain a majority it’ll hopefully help keep Congress from getting too liberal. If the Republicans lose then as far as I’m concerned, too many are conservative in name only and their getting kicked out will make room for some fresh and true conservatives to come back in ‘08.
Still, you’d be surprised on how many of these Democrats who are running could easily be considered conservative Democrats. I don’t vote for the Party, I vote for the candidate who most closely matches my mainly conservative views.

Yakko77 on November 6, 2006 at 2:43 PM
Oh georgej! You never fail to deliver with the hackneyed neocon phrases.
I don’t think election fraud is a vast conspiracy; it’s the act of a minority of individuals in key positions who feel they know better than The People and decide to subvert the political process in order to create the “correct” outcome. This surely happens on both sides, but in the last presidential election these unscrupulous types swayed the results in Bush’s favor.
I agree, though, that election polls don’t matter, voting does. So please encourage everybody you know to get out there and do it!

Some have been preaching on Western Europe’s decline and demise to islamism for over fifteen years, and at the rate of progression since I first began to pay attention, they don’t have 10-30 years left. France is a hairsbreadth from gone as a republic. Great Britain sealed their eventual doom by allowing a parallel Islamic Parliament with legally mandated “proportional representation” in British Parliament. Spain is on the downhill. Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway, are all chanting too many PC mantras to see that they’re giving away their sovereignty.
Strangely, Germany might end up being the last gasp of free society on the continent.
On topic, I hope as much as anyone for conservatives to have as much control of this government as possible. But I do not live in fear of what could happen tomorrow. I don’t place any trust in the socialists who would celebrate victory of any sort tomorrow. Nor do I place any trust in the pseudo-conservative Republicans who have blurred the distinctions which were made clear in 1980, 1994 and again in 2004. I let my money speak for me.
In God we trust.
As long as this nation deserves divine blessings, it will receive them. When it does not, it won’t. Don’t fear Democrats, fear (and love!) God.

It’s forecast to rain that way here for the rest of the week. Nothing ever changes here, except that the layers of moss/fungus growing inside the brain lining of the moon-bats liberals here in Seattle just keeps getting thicker. If EeyorePundit is correct, there’ll be a BIG celebration in the streets of Seattle here on Wednesday morning.

PRAY FOR IT TO RAIN LIKE STINK
Mushrooms love the rain…and those Seattle types are just transplanted eggheads from the Northeast Ivory Tower…NOTHING KEEPS THOSE ASSHATS (!) FROM VOTING.
NOTHING.

If the VA race is any indication, the Dems - all their candidates are lying their tails off. How’s this for a radio spot sound bite: “The country’s going broke and he voted himself a pay raise …”
The country is going broke !?!?! When I can get a parking space closer than Pluto at Walmart, I’ll start believing that.
The October surprise is this: the media virtual reality - the fantasy that they are contenders in this election. They have directed all possible resouces, news reporting, opinion columns, talk shows, commentaries, everything that is the MSM has been pushing that the Democrats are wanted. Who wants another Vietnam? The media reported a lie and undercut our military, and they loved doing it so much, they want to do it again. Guess what, the rest of the country hasn’t been sitting in suspended animation for 30 years, and a lot of people are wise to the deceit. Worse, many, many decent people around the world suffered and died because of that deceit, while the media elites lived in indulged comfort.
The Democrats are wanted? They are on the verge of losing massive voter blocks - did you hear and read the comments from the conservative Black registered Democrats? “We were taken for granted. They have done nothing for us.” There are people voting in this election who will vote Republican for the first time in their lives - not Democrat. Last time I did the math, that means a lot fewer votes for the Dems and many more for the Republicans, added to the usual Republicans who will vote loyally.
The Dems are losing. They know it.
