IS IT COMING TRUE?  Another new major poll shows a shift toward the GOP.  We'll see if this repeats in the coming days before next Tuesday's elections.  From the Washington Examiner:

Election Day can’t come to Republicans fast enough.

With less than a week before the election arrives, another poll has shifted in their favor.

The Quinnipiac University poll, which had voters preferring a Democratic House to a Republican one, 47%-43%, at the end of August, has flipped. The new numbers show a preference for a Republican House, 48%-44%.

Three other pollsters show similar or larger gaps in favor of the GOP in the so-called generic vote count.

Concerns among Democrats that they will lose control of Congress have prompted President Joe Biden to throw on an eleventh-hour speech about “democracy” on Wednesday night.

Quinnipiac uses different wording than some other pollsters, asking not about generic candidates but whether voters prefer a party in control of the House and the Senate, a broader gauge of voter sentiment.

What it said on Wednesday was not good for the Democrats. The survey analysis read, "Among registered voters, if the election were today, 48% say they would want to see the Republican Party win control of the United States House of Representatives, while 44% say the Democratic Party. This is a shift from a Quinnipiac University poll on August 31st when 47% said the Democratic Party and 43% said the Republican Party."

“As for which party registered voters would want to see win control of the United States Senate, 48% say the Republican Party and 45% say the Democratic Party. This compares to August when 47% said the Democratic Party and 45% said the Republican Party," it continued.

The poll also found that Republican voters are more enthusiastic.

COMMENT:  We should note that this was a poll of registered voters.  Polls of likely voters almost always show even more of a tilt toward the GOP.

Hope and vote.
