1:29 AM (6 minutes ago)Midterm blowout: 50 or more Marixst Democrat seats set to fall next Tuesdayfrom Fire Andrea Mitchell! by adminI’ve always considered The Hill to be straight down the middle when it comes to their reporting. They have their left nuts as well as some conservative columnists, but overall, I think it’s about as “centrist” of a newspaper as you’ll find anywhere these days. Politico USED to be like this, but over the last few months they’ve gone far left like the rest of the lame stream media. So i tend to believe The Hill 2010 Midterm Election poll data that suggests a GOP pickup that could easily top 50 seats, if not more.
Of the 42 districts polled for The Hill, all but two of which are currently Democratic, 31 had Republicans in the lead. Democrats were up in just seven, and four were tied. In addition, there are some 15 Democratic districts that are so far into the GOP win column that they weren’t polled. That would suggest at least 46 GOP pickups, plus whatever the party gets out of another 40 or 50 seats that some experts believe are in play.
“We didn’t even poll in about 15 districts that are already too far gone for Democrats,” said Mark Penn, whose firm, Penn Schoen Berland, conducted the poll. “So that, along with our entire series of polls, points to something in the range of a 50-seat gain for Republicans.”
