Democrats are beginning to sound more optimistic about November and polls show they have reason to believe the worst has past.

A new Public Policy Polling survey has Democrats leading on the generic Congressional ballot for the first time since December.

The margin is somewhat fleeting, Dems are only up 43-41 percent over Republicans, but the results show the base appears more unified.

Democratic voters are planning to support their candidates by a 76-point margin, 84-8. That's an 11-point increase from March when it was just 65 points at 80-15, according to PPP.

5. Good.

For too long the meme from the pundits have been the democrats are in trouble, etc. etc. when there have been news story after story about republicans lagging behind in fundraising, being perceived as incoherent on a national message as well as working against Obama for no other reason that he's a democrat. Positions taken by them are unpopular with the electorate. Etc. etc. etc.

The press is now - grudgingly - admitting that's not necessarily true, but I predict, even the democrats don't lose ANY seat or even pick up 1 or 2, the media will spin it as a republican win by claiming that the GOP was able to keep the democrats from doing much better.

6. This does not fit the narrative.

Please refrain from posting such stories.

7. The big 2010 Republican "tidal wave" ain't gonna happen.

I've been saying that for months.

A few seats will probably be lost, but neither the House nor the Senate will change hands.
