our polling and others show the democrats have a seven-point advantage. they re favored to take the house. important thing to understand is the numbers are fluid. if the turnout among republicans is higher, you get that generic ballot lead to the five-point range. republicans have a chance to retain control of the house. on the other hand, if a lot of people sit home and don t go to the polls for the republican side, that number widens the democrats could end up with 40 or 50 seat pickup. ben: there was internal rnc poll that showed 57% of trump supporters don t believe that the democrats are going to take control of the house of representatives. so how does that impact the turnout? this is something that is keeping a lot of republican strategists up at night. and our own polling we found in the past week with all the news about kavanaugh, republicans have gotten more confident, and so, yes, this is a concern. and i think part of what we re seeing is republicans are saying, hey, they
unsettling. however, what trump is doing now, it s really working for a lot of people. people get out of manhattan and get out of where the rent is like 2500 for a studio apartment and actually talk to real people in real america, confidence, optimism, opportunities, entrepreneurship is up, up, up, but you wouldn t know that by listening to nt for saying no borders, no walls, no usa at all. that s kind of where they are. but i have to say when you look at the real clear politics average today. it just a snapshot, but it s 3.9% generic ballot lead now for the democrats. again, could go up, could go down but july 12th it was 8% lead. earlier this year it was a 14% lead. i don t think the socialism talks helps democrats anywhere may be brooklyn and queens. really the sanders camp all went down in the primary. i don t think the rank-and-file democratic voters have turned socialist. and remember, the voters who the
