New polling from Gallup shows that the upcoming November elections could surpass even 1994 in terms of being an historic pivot back to common sense, conservative Republican governance. 

The poll of nearly 2,000 likely voters shows Republicans leading Democrats 53-40 percent in a high turnout model, and 56-38 percent in a model showing lower turnout.  According to political analyst Michael Barone, polling like this, “if translated into popular votes in the 435 congressional districts, suggest huge gains for Republicans and a Republican House majority the likes of which we have not seen since the election cycles of 1946 or even 1928.”

The Gallup poll also shows that the enthusiasm gap continues to widen.  The poll released last week showed Republicans leading Democrats in enthusiastic voters by 20 percent.  The reasons for this gap are clear.  Moderate and independent voters who believed the Obama campaign’s promises in 2008 are rejecting the reality of the Obama White House in 2010. 

Time after time, the Obama Administration and the Democrat majority in Congress have rejected efforts to work across the aisle and focus on the challenges facing America, and instead have charged ahead in pursuit of a liberal agenda sought after by the left for decades.  When the American people needed tax relief to boost the economy and create jobs, the Democrats delivered a mountain of new tax hikes to pay for ObamaCare.  When the American economy needed a stimulus plan that made sense, the Democrats instead delivered a $13 trillion national debt and a wasteful jobs plan that has failed to move the needle on unemployment. 

Republicans are poised for an historic victory in November because Democrats have delivered equally historic failures since taking over the majority in Congress.  Momentum is on the side of the GOP because our candidates have listened to the people and are ready to go to work with a plan that will get our economy moving again.  No amount of last minute campaigning from the Obama White House and its allies can change the simple fact that the Democrats have failed to lead.  The American people are ready to make an historic turn to a Congress more interested in creating jobs than saving their own.
