I think the Republicans peaked too early, as I have said before. It seems to me the polls against the Democrats have bottomed and are now trending slightly in their favor. If Obama uses the bully pulpit effectively, and the economy keeps chugging along, there is a good chance of keeping both the house and senate Democratic. As far as the economy, it's mostly a matter of perception right now. 90% of the people have jobs and those that don't are mostly Democratic voters, whose unemployment benefits keep getting extended by Congress, and who will benefit heavily from the health care plan the Republicans are threatening to cancel. The recession is officially over, the stock market is doing well, mortgage interest rates are at all time lows, inflation under control. It may not take much to change perceptions for the better between now and Nov 2.
