Nate Silver says that the odds of a divided government again in 2013 are 'going down.'

'Odds we have a divided government again in 2013 going down. Even low-information voters will grasp this isn't working.'

1. What does Nate see as the result. NO DIVIDED GOVT.

Republicans in charge or Democrats in charge.

This means those Democrats on the Hill had better get
themselves out there proving they can govern. They
better get over being non-confrontational.

2. Since Democrats are more favorable right now in polls and there is much 'buyers remorse' as well...

I assume he means we have a better chance to retake the House.

3. Republicans are ahead in the generic House polls.

I don't know what Silver's position is but I would not assume he thinks there is a better chance to take the House. http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/mood_of_america/generic_congressional_ballot

5. UM

You need to list a better source than RAS.They should not be taken seriously.

7. A quote from Silver since he is referenced in the OP

"Rasmussen's election polling has tended to be quite accurate in the past." http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2010/01/is-rasmussen-reports-biased.html

6. Rasmussen?

8. I assume you have another poll.

Or do you only look at polls that show results you like? :rofl:

[Tarheel_Dem]

9. Obviously Nate Silver does, since you pulled Razz out of your azz.

:rofl:

Fox News' favorite & most celebrated pollster? :rofl:

12. Nate made the claim in the o.p., so your argument is with him.

Perhaps you could ask Nate why he came to the aforementioned conclusion that you seem to be having trouble dealing with? :rofl:

[former9thward]

14. No he didn't make the claim. That is the point if you even read it.

It was the OP making an ASSUMPTION about Silver. So skippy where is your poll?

[Tarheel_Dem]

15. "Odds are going down"? per Nate Silver....

The odds that you & Razz are correct are also "going down". Deal with it! :rofl:

[former9thward]

16. You really can't read posts, can you?

Silver made NO claim about the House. The OP made an assumption that Silver must think the House is in play because the odds are going down on a divided government. Silver may be assuming Republican control. I don't know but I'm not making an assumption like you and the OP have. I gave the latest poll I have seen on a generic House vote. Again, skippy, where is your poll to back up YOUR assumption? :rofl:

4. I hate Twitter

That's a nice headline. Now where's the story behind it?

[kick-ass-bob]

10. I want it to shrivel up and die. #DieTwitter

:D

13. He must be living in a different world than I. Them low info voters don't care!!

Maybe he ought to get off of the Twitter and go out and see how they live, how they think, how they breed amongst themselves at family reunions.
That'll change his opinion, I'm sure.
