Dead Even in the Generic Congressional Ballot
A new Politico/GWU Battleground Poll finds Democrats and Republicans tied in the generic congressional race at 43% each -- even though most of those surveyed think the GOP will take control of the House and Senate in the midterm elections.

"Better yet for Democrats, in several key regions with numerous House and Senate seats in play -- namely, the Midwest and Northeast -- they hold a 5-point advantage, suggesting the party's congressional fortunes aren't nearly as grim as the media coverage might suggest."

More hope for Democrats in a New York Times/CBS News poll: While voters rate the performance of Democrats negatively, they view Republicans as even worse, "providing a potential opening for Democrats to make a last-ditch case for keeping their hold on power."
