ON THE OTHER HAND... – AT 10:25 A.M. ET:  To show the danger of overconfidence, please note that, according to Rasmussen, the Dems have retaken a small lead in the generic ballot.  From Rasmussen: 

Democrats have regained a slight lead on this week’s Rasmussen Reports Generic Congressional Ballot.

The latest telephone and online survey finds that 45% of Likely U.S. Voters would choose the Democratic candidate if the elections for Congress were held today. Forty-one percent (41%) would opt for the Republican. Four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate, and 11% are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

For the last two weeks, the ballot was at the closest it had been all year: Democrats 43%, Republicans 42%.

COMMENT:   That still doesn't provide much comfort for the Dems, who should be much further ahead, and were leading in double digits only a few months ago.  But I'd rather we be ahead than behind, even by a few points.  There is work to be done.
