There is light.
*******************
Despite a slight increase in President Bush's approval rating 42% among both registered and likely voters this month, likely voters are showing significantly more support for Democrats in September than they did in August. Last month among likely voters, Democrats and Republicans were tied at 40% in a generic Congressional ballot, while this month, Democrats hold a 13-point advantage over Republicans (46% - 33%). Among registered voters, Democrats' advantage in the generic congressional ballot increased three points since August, at 43% - 33%, compared to 40% - 33% last month.

Democrats Cite New Hope in Bid to Retake Senate
By ROBIN TONER
Published: September 28, 2006
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27 — Six weeks before Election Day, the Democrats suddenly face a map with unexpected opportunities in their battle for control of the Senate.
In Virginia, a state that few expected to be seriously competitive, Senator George Allen, a Republican, looks newly vulnerable after a series of controversies over his racial views, strategists in both parties say. In Tennessee, another Southern state long considered safely red, Representative Harold E. Ford Jr., a Democrat, has run a strong campaign that has kept that state in contention.
Elsewhere, Democratic challengers are either ahead or neck and neck in races in five states held by the Republicans: Pennsylvania, Ohio, Montana, Rhode Island and Missouri, according to political strategists in both parties and the latest polls.
