2 months out from the election, we can bet the real number is closer to +5 or 6.

Again, if Democratic candidates, from the top to the bottom of the ticket, would hit the "Look what the gop has done for the last 3 years" narrative (something that the majority of the electorate and a plurity of independants recognize ... we could very well see a reversal of 2010 in the House and an expansion in the Senate, along with a Democratic whitehouse.

Come on Democrats, us supporters can only do so much ... YOU have to run the ads, for us to distinguish YOUR candidacy.

these types of polls may force the Republican money to refocus and leave poor Mitt in the cold, just to try to hold onto the House of Reps.

One word of caution about new polls showing Obama bounce: no irrational exuberance, please, fellow Dems. This is going down to the wire.
