??? You too? Mass hypnosis? WTF?? You folks are scary.
This 2010 FR post says polls were showing Rs 47 leading, 52 total ahead and another 20 in danger , thats 72 total. Yet some freepers here remember polls saying Republicans would lose seats 2010, or break even.
Republicans are now leading in 47 congressional districts held by Democrats. (This is up 8 just since last week.) There are another 5 seats held by retiring Democrats in significantly Republican-leaning districts which have not been polled. That's a total of 52 seats, almost equal to the number gained by Republicans in the 1994 election (54). There are another 20 where Republicans have pulled very close to Democrats, and the Democrats are polling well below 50%, normally a sign of grave danger this early in the election season. And of course, although the media tend to poll the races where the suspect the greatest likelihood of a strong challenged, there are still dozens of competitive seats which have not been polled yet.
District-by-district polls already show 2010 should eclipse 1994. (So make it happen!) Various poll sources ^ | 9-6-10 | Dangus Posted on Monday, September 06, 2010 7:46:37 AM by dangus
