That right-wing rag, the New York Times, calls it in the other direction. It would also be interesting to see a poll of likely voters, not just registered ones.

My call is that it could easily go either way. It is traditional for the party holding the Presidency to lose seats in an off-year election. If the Republicans actually gain seats, it will be only the second time this has happened since 1934. I'll be a happy camper if they just avoid losing control.

The Senate is the race I'm really interested in. That's wide open too.

Here in California's governor's race, Simon is still behind Davis, 32 percent to 40 percent, which is an improvement over earlier polls, but nobody doubts that Simon is fighting an uphill battle, with a lot less money to toss into the ring than Davis.
