The Mid Term Elections in the United States

The signs are that the Republicans are making a fight of it in the Congressional elections, an interesting article in the New York Daily News, suggests that Republicans will hold the Senate. Political Analysts over the water seem to agree that the Democrats don’t have enough wind to their back to win the Senate this time around. On the race for the House of Representatives, it depends on which polls you prefer, RealClearPolitics has an Average of Democrats leading by 9.5 compared to Republicans, including the below Fox Poll. On the other hand the Fox Channel has a Poll of Likely Voters, which has the Democrats only leading by 3 points. As we are a few weeks away from the election, Views is reminded of a often used quote, ‘ A week is a long time in Politics ’ and what can change the political landscape, ‘ Events, Events, Events ’.
