They say the enthusiasm gap is narrowing.
Among likely voters — identified by their past voting history and their high level of interest in the November midterms — 46 percent prefer a Republican-controlled Congress, versus 43 percent who want a Democratic-led one.
That’s a decline (though within the margin of error) from the 49-to-40 percent lead Republicans held in late August.
One thought that's been festering is that perhaps the Republicans and teabaggers peaked too early -- as they did in the healthcare reform debate. I'm still quite pessimistic about November, but there's plenty of time before election day for the Democrats to blunt the pain.
