In the final NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll before Tuesday's midterm elections, 49% of likely voters say they prefer a GOP-controlled Congress, versus 43% who want Democrats in charge.
That's virtually unchanged from the NBC/WSJ survey from two weeks ago, when the GOP held a 50%-43% generic-ballot advantage among likely voters.
Among the larger universe of registered voters -- a less reliable gauge of those who will participate in a midterm election -- the GOP edge in the current poll shrinks to two points, 46% to 44%. That's a reversal from two weeks ago, when Democrats held a two-point advantage with registered voters.

So in the past two weeks Dems have lost 6 points among registered voters been have remain unchanged among likely voters?
I was interviewed for this survey. There were elements of bias in the questions asked. For example,they asked a question about what an R Congress should do. The responses included balancing the budget, but not cutting spending.
Ignore these polls and get everyone you know and yourself to the pols and vote like we are 10 points down.
No sitting this out because of positive polls.
These “numbers” are just more reasons for using newspapers to line bird cages.
