I normally don't follow polls because they always appear to be voted by Republicans but from what I see the Democrats have 1 lead in 1 poll including the MoE. The Democrats and Republicans are tied in all the others if you account for with the MoE. Also, the democrats numbers went up in all the polls except two. Anyways, what is your opinion from what you seen?

2. hopeful but still
very volatile.

given the rotten state of everything, you'd expect the governing party to be doing far worse.

3. Close -- Looks Like it Will Depend on Turnout

If a Dem wins, Congress could change. Both houses with a singificant win.

4. What was the total vote in 2002?
It was probably pretty even but because most seat have been created to protect incumbents it doesn't really matter.

7. This looks good.
Depends on who is more motivated at election time. Dems appear to be active, they are attending rallys and demonstrations. If the economy is still sluggish, Reps may not be as motivated to vote. So yay for us.
