CNN Poll Disputes GOP Gains

At least one poll is showing that there is not turning tide in the eleventh hour.

CNN:

The percentage of likely voters who plan to vote for Democrats in Tuesday's congressional elections increased in the past week, according to a CNN poll conducted during the weekend.

Those voters supporting Democrats also seem less likely to change their minds before casting ballots, the poll found

Democrats hold a 20 percentage-point advantage -- 58 percent to 38 percent -- over Republicans among likely voters in the survey released Monday morning. The Democratic advantage was 11 percentage points -- 53 percent to 42 percent -- in a poll a week ago.

Pollsters asked people who identified themselves as being likely to vote which party's candidate they would vote for in their congressional district if the election were being held today.


Take all late polling with a grain of salt, this one included. But it does show that the possibility of a 'Democratic Wave' is alive and well.

In a related story, the same poll shows Bush approval dropping to 35%. Unscientific polling shows that 71.17% find George W. Bush annoying.
