These national polls really don't tell a lot because Congressional politics is local to a State or a district. What someone thinks in CA is not even close to what someone thinks here in OK.

That is why in 1994, the Republican landslide was missed. You have to take district and State polls to really tell what is going on and even then most of the people I know what answer their phone when pollsters call which seem to come in "unavailable."

Just my two cents worth what I think of National polls for Congressional seats! Not Much!

PKM--spot on analysis--you have become quite the astute observer/pundit. ;^) Politics are indeed local at this level. In any event, I can live with these numbers....

Not too mention that it was taken before GWB's bofo performance on Sept 12.

That was part of the reason. The other reason was the incredulity of the left and the media (but I repeat myself). They just could not believe that there was so much displeasure at Klinton and the democrats for raising taxes, gays in the military, Jocelyn Elders, Somalia, Travelgate, and a whole host of other liberal ideas.
