[12]GOP Should Curb Its Enthusiasm
Forbes - John Zogby – July 28, 2010
It's too soon to predict how many seats Republicans will gain.
Predicting the outcome of congressional elections, especially in the
mid-term, is one of the great guessing games of political mavens. Short of
polling every contested district, the best tools we have are asking a
national sample which party's candidates they plan to vote for and measuring
how enthusiastic partisans are about voting.
