Donald Lambro at The Washington Times explains:

Republicans have moved closer to the Democrats in a congressional voter-preference poll just as the election campaigns near the official Labor Day starting gate.

The surprising findings in a little-noticed Gallup Poll that were ignored by most of the national news media shows the Democrats barely leading the Republicans by just two points -- 47 percent to 45 percent.

After months of generic polling numbers by Gallup and others showing the GOP lagged far behind the Democrats by a seemingly insurmountable nine to 10 points, the titanic political battle for control of Congress is virtually dead even. This means we may not experience the feared Category 5 political storm some election analysts have forecast that would topple the GOP's House majority and cut deeply into its grip on the Senate.

I've never believed that Democrats will win in the fall, and based on Lambro's column, I think even more will agree that the outcome of the midterm elections is by no means a guaranteed victory for the Democrats. Democrats predict victory for themselves all the time, but recent years have show those predictions are more often than not incorrect.

Even if people want to judge by polls, the tides are clearly turning in favor of the GOP.
