There has been a lot of troubling information to come out lately. I don't think it all can be laid at the feet of poll bias. I think losing seats is a virtual guarntee. The question is whether or not we can hold onto control. The margin is going to be narrow and our turnout better be good.

I love the way supposed Conservative confuse hyper negativity with being "wise". The article sites why the polling data is suspect. Yet your response is to dismiss the FACTS because they do not validate YOUR gut feelings. Could it be the fact that your feelings which are based on polls with an obvious statistical flaw in them are what is in error?

Elections are ALWAYS about turn out. It is who shows up.

We were convinced during the past presidential election that the Republicans were doomed, because the talking heads told us to be. How did that turn out?

Has this troubling information been troubling, or could it be media/Democrat hype to influence voters?

From past experience in 2002 and 2004, let alone before that, that is no question the media has polled left when voting results have gone right.

Rule of thumb is to add 5% points to the Republican in any poll and I predict you'll be closer than what is being touted by the press/media.
