Capitol Hill Republicans say a recent swing in polling numbers might translate into fewer losses in November elections - and maybe some unexpected victories - as they recover from massive midterm losses in 2006 that gave Democrats control of Congress.
Republican congressional candidates, who trailed Democrats by double digits in several generic polls during the past year, have drawn to within three percentage points in a recent USA Today/Gallup survey.
"There's no 'generic' vote for Congress. ... These congressional seats are won one at a time," said House Minority Whip Roy Blunt, Missouri Republican. "But there's no doubt that the wind is not in our face like it's been the last three years."

Brilliant! As usual.
What in hell is wrong with Graham? His Gang of Fourteen deprived us of countless great judges, so what does he do? Admit he blew it? No; he sets out to blow it again, this time with America’s energy/national security at risk. Why on earth can’t we get rid of this guy???
Agreed. Pat McCrory may not be perfect but he’s so much better than Perdue and what we’ve had the last 16 years. I despise Bev Perdue. I think she’ll be much worse than Mike Easley.
As for Dole, we don’t really have a choice but to vote for her. Kay Hagan is way off to the left and we can’t afford to let the Dems get too many seats in the seat. We have to remember McCain is probably going to get to replace Justices Stevens and Ginsburg and we need every seat we can get to prevent a successful filibuster. We have a chance to get a true conservative majority on the Supreme Court, we can’t blow it.
Bravo! For the first (or maybe thousandth) time in my adult life, I am proud to be a FReeper.
While channel surfing the Sunday morning talk shows, the opening segment of Meet the Press showed polling numbers that said that, when asked if either candidate had the knowledge and experince to be President, 15% said "Yes" in regards to Obama.
"Fifteen Percent".
That is a mind boggling stat.
I wonder why Sarah's marathon experience is ignored by the MSM?
I wonder why her high school track championships (in cross country racing) are being ignored by the MSM?
I wonder why her open-boat, deckhand experience salmon fishing as her husband's partner is being ignored by the MSM?
I wonder why Cindy's charitable work overseas is ignored by the MSM?
I wonder why “moosehunting” is such a big deal, but owning a race car team, a beer distributorship, AND being a beautiful blonde is being ignored by the MSM?
But they go on endlessly about her hairstyle - as if IT were suddenly invented to placate the masses?
Putting lipstick on Obozo -- Democrats have spent weeks accusing Gov. Sarah Palin of lying about her pregnancy and accusing her daughter of lying about her pregnancy and attacking Sarah as a bad mother and comparing her to Pontius Pilate, Islamic radicals, a whip-wielding dominatrix and to "lipstick" on a pig. Now Democrats say they're ready to take the gloves off!Thanks JohnHuang2, well put.
