Enthusiasm Gap Closing<http://politicalwire.com/archives/2010/09/28/enthusiasm_gap_closing.html>A
new NBC News/Wall Street Journal
poll<http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/39405132/ns/politics-white_house/>
"shows
that the battle for control of Congress has tightened, as key
Democratic-leaning demographic groups are expressing more enthusiasm about
the upcoming midterms."

Among likely voters, Republicans now hold a three-point lead in the
generic-ballot test for control of Congress, 46% to 43%, down from their
nine-point lead last month. Among registered voters are split evenly, 44% to
44%.

The pollsters "attribute the tightening to increased enthusiasm for the
upcoming midterms by African Americans (who saw a six-point gain in high
interest) and Hispanics (who saw an 11-point gain). But young voters, who
helped fuel Obama's presidential victory in 2008, are now sitting on the
sidelines. Just 35 percent of those ages 18-34 are enthusiastic about the
election in November, versus 65 percent of seniors who say that."
