of voters which last time in 2014 it was 36.7%. if there is this vast turnout, that bodes well for the democrats. but once again, as someone who got it wrong during the presidential election the last time, i m really nervous about these polls and projections. i just don t know which way this is going to cut. what s stronger? kavanaugh and caravans? or the anti-trump determination of democrats to stop him, to block him, and to have a democratic majority in the house that will be able to stop everything that he s trying to do? we just don t know. jon: yeah, because republican excitement seemed to generate with the kavanaugh hearings. republicans who had been maybe sitting on their hands a little bit decided that getting out and voting this time around in the midterms is something they want to do.
reputable polls had the democrats up at least 15 points in the generic congressional ballot. well not anymore. reuter s generic ballot heartened republicans. at the beginning of march democrats enjoyed more than a ten-point advantage. nearly 45% saying they would vote for a democratic, only 33% were pulled a level for republicans but now the g.o.p. has taken the lead. the latest online poll shows 39% of registered voters saying they would vote republican and just 36.7% supporting a democrat. six-point shift. so why is this turnaround happening? because republicans pretty much staying on offense and supporting generally not undermining the president on key issues. by working to keep this economy going, dismantling the regulatory superstate that hurts our innovators and entrepreneurs, by not dragging us into more serious military conflicts, by refusing to buckle
ainsley: it s ironic that it s nancy pelosi and chuck schumer, they are the swamp that the president ran on draining. looks like, it of course worked for this president, he got elected on that message and looks like the democrats are stealing it and maybe they are trying to win and they are getting desperate because if you look at recent poll, reuters poll, republicans hold slim lead in generic ballot. they asked people who they were polling, who would you vote for republican and democrat, look at that, 38% said they would vote for republican and 36.7 would vote for democrat. well, of course, because at the end of the day i believe that american voters on both sides of the aisle are going to vote with pocketbooks and the truth is this president is winning for american people. you look at the tax cuts, you look at what that has done for the average american. i know nancy pelosi thinks it s just crumbs, to average americans it really means something. looking at the president that s doi
