One more generic moves, one more we're still waiting on

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.

(The last Pew poll put the Democrats' generic ballot advantage at 11 points.)

They also report that 60 percent of voters heard "a lot" about Kerry's remarks, 24 percent "a little." That leaves Gallup's generic coming out tonight.

RCP:

Keep an eye on the Gallup generic ballot number coming out tonight, if it shows movement similar to the ABC/WP poll there could be a big surprise brewing for many people cocooned in Washington.

Oh but, but, but....I've just read that Pew found that the Evangelicals are giving up on the Pubbies, and the GOP base is disillusioned and the Dims are fired up....and, and, and.....


Oh, vey, oh, vey.....

Yesterday somebody posted graphs of the generic polls from 1994 until the present date.
Time to update them and bring them up again. Great things are afoot me thinks.

And if the GOP holds the Seante and the House the political career of one J F Kerry (sp?) is dusted, done and over.

No, I don't think it was his fault. My guess is that the MSM and the pollsters have tried to depress the GOP vote, but now so close to the election they have to rectify their figures not to lose all credibility. But that will mean that all the blame will be put in JFK's lap.

Couldn't have happened to a more well deserving person, could it?

Well, if I had my way they'd blame him AND the HildaBeast, but I'll take half a loaf.

I never believed the dem landslide crapola,the polls are moving back to where they were all along because the pollsters would look like asses on November 8th.

They pull the same stunt every election.

The old media will also be calling elections early for dems on Tuesday,don't believe it.

If you are voting late on Tuesday,make sure you do.

This ain't over,not by a long shot.

As I recall, it was Pew who picked up the late GOP surge in 2002. I sure hope they are right again this time. If so then we will lose some seats but perhaps keep a majority in both houses. Could be a stunning Tuesday night.

how does a Generic 4% lead by the Dems affect various races?

I would think Dems are mostly located in urban areas and a lot of their "votes" would be isolated in smaller geographic areas...

sorry if this is something already been covered.
