Republicans Are Out-Voting Democrats In Early Voting

We previously told you about the new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll, which suggests that people want Democrats to control the House more than Republicans.

In the poll, 50 percent of likely voters prefer Democrat to control Congress after the November elections, versus 41 percent who want Republicans to stay in charge — up 1 point from Democrats’ lead in the September NBC/WSJ survey.

An important thing to note: This poll doesn’t necessarily reflect individual congressional races. As I stated before, it’s literally just asking people, “Hey. You want Dems controlling the House or nah?” So I’m not getting TOO worried. Especially now that I’m seeing this:

“52% of early voters had a Republican affiliation, versus 43% who had a Democratic affiliation and 5% who were not affiliated with either party.”#Election2018 https://t.co/9CZDrHYYab

“GOP voters have surpassed Democratic ones in early voting in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Montana, Tennessee and Texas, the data showed.

Only in Nevada have Democratic voters exceeded Republican voters so far in early voting.”https://t.co/w1nwm4voLV pic.twitter.com/pj0lYwtSFO

NBC reports:

Is the “blue wave” turning purple?

Republican-affiliated voters have outpaced Democratic-affiliated voters in early voting in seven closely watched states, according to data provided by TargetSmart and independently analyzed by the NBC News Data Analytics Lab.

Does this mean Republicans are MORE energized? That’s certainly what it sounds like.

Imagine how much of a mass freakout we’ll see if Democrats fail to take control of the House. Oh man. Pelosi would FLIP! PLEASE– let’s make that happen!
