Status: offline 		"Two-thirds of the Republican freshmen who captured Democratic-held seats in the GOP's 2010 takeover of the U.S. House of Representatives saw their fundraising dip in the past quarter, campaign-finance reports show.

Several of the new incumbents, including Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar, in a rematch with former congresswoman Ann Kirkpatrick, have been significantly outraised by their challengers. In addition, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee took in nearly twice as much campaign cash as House Republicans in September — a sign Democratic donors are energized, despite low poll rankings for Congress and President Obama.

Democrats need 25 seats to retake control of the House after losing more than 60 to Republicans last year in a wave of voter anger with Washington.

And they'll need about 45 more to retake control in 2014.

In spite of President Obama`s low rating,the GOP`s are even lower.

Advantage democrats.

Moreover they fail to distinguish "support" from "desperation". Like the Paulies who can throw money bombs till their fingers turn green, it still wont get him the nomination.

The thing with polls is Bantha, they are used by both sides here to needle the other, there are arguments about who is reliable, who isnt, etc etc every couple of months.
Most of us do actually realise that the results are what really matter, but it doesnt stop the "bitching" or the posturing
Childish, but so much in this section is
and yes.. that includes both sides, and the independents aint much better
This section is an aquired taste
btw, hello and wlcome to the funny farm

I usually go by realclearpolitics. It tends to take the averages of most of the polls. I think that provides a better picture... not perfect, but better than just one poll over another.

It's like Gallagher said. If the opposite of PRO is CON, What's the opposite of PROgress?

I'm not accusing USAToday of bias, just of not knowing how to report meaningful statistics.
