Reuters Makes a Declaritive Statement
...based on a poll. So much for objectivity:

(Reuters) - Republicans will take control of the House of Representatives from Democrats in Tuesday's midterm elections, a Reuters/Ipsos poll predicted on Monday.

The national poll found that Americans plan to vote for Republicans over Democratic candidates by 50 percent to 44 percent. This is an edge that will likely give Republicans dozens of seats in the House and significant gains in the Senate.

I think veracity of the prediction has nothing to do with the predicate.

4. Reuters is FOS and they have been saying exactly that for over a month.
Propaganda.

VOTE, if you haven't already, and tell all republicans that they vote on Wednesday.

5. Wow, those of us who'd like their fortunes told, contact the AP.
Or are they trying to tell us the votes will be rigged?

I wasn't polled. Were any of you?
