The flurry of polls over the past two weeks showing Rethugs gaining the advantage over Dems in the 2010 mid-term election got a lot of play by the "mainstream media." It reinforced the meme they've been flogging hard and just can't get enough of: Disaster for Democrats!
Well, maybe not. Gallup has a new generic ballot poll showing the parties dead even at 46% each. Still not the best news for Dems, but then again, we're 8 weeks out from the election, people! We thought we'd share this information with our faithful readers since you won't see it mentioned on the teevee or in the Kaplan Daily. In those venues, it's still Dewey Beats Truman... I mean, Disaster for Democrats!
UPDATE: E.J. Dionne also notes the strange silence of the press about the Dem-friendly poll: runs counter to their story line.
