CNN has Democrats up by 20%. Pew only by a small margin. The average of all generic polls has Dems up by about 11%. That sounds realistic. Pew is clearly wrong, but I don't believe the 20% number either. Bottomline, the GOP has 38% base support. There has been about 12% undecideds and those will probably break roughly 60-40 for democrats, so I expect the GOP will have around 44% vs. 54% and 2% for indies, though this will vary a lot in terms of individual races. Gerrymandering has also hurt our democracy a lot. The Peoples' will for change will be somewhat twarted by gerrymandered districts. For instance, crooks like Duncan Hunter, Doolittle and Pombo would ordinarily not win re-election but their districts have been made as safe as possible for them. That's really unethical.
