"ABC poll stands alone in showing Republicans closing in
on Democrats."
From News24.

Everyone else and just about every news article and op ed has the Dems at least taking the House in a big way, and possibly the Senate.

Even ABC has the dems taking the House. They do show a narrowing of the gap but that's to be expected in the final 24-36 hours.
I'm not saying that they will attempt to steal it, just that a huge percentage of news stories (especially international ones) have the Dems winning, as of 8 pm Sunday evening.

Go to Google news and check out "related stories".

1. Have you seen Pew, Gallup?
Edited on Sun Nov-05-06 10:07 PM by LA lady
USA Today Gallup:
Now, voters by 51%-44% favor Democratic ones.

Pew:
One Is An Outlier, But Two?
Pew is out with their final pre-election poll and just like the ABC/Wash. Post poll, Pew shows Republicans with momentum. In the generic ballot, Dems lead by just 4 points. More importantly, the GOP has made significant cuts into the Dems once gigantic lead among indies

I swear, it's a conspiracy.

2. That's ok
The key is in the Independents.
The last sentence of that article: "Currently, Democrats lead by 44%-33% among independent voters."

Also, the chart they have shows a clear majority of Dems as being "enthusiastic" about voting on Tuesday. Turn out and the Indepentent voter will be key .
But yah, i know whatch mean. If the key words in most news stories on Monday are Rupublicans gaining momentum than I expect the big fix.
