The news report on this station that there was a Ipsos poll showing that Trump is worse.
Real polling shows decisive shift in momentum in favor of the Republicans and Trump, as the midterms are now less than three weeks away.
Two weeks ago, I reported that Democrats led in seven of the eight key Senate races.
But current polling, as of two days ago, shows Republican candidates leading, albeit by very narrow margins, in Texas, Ohio, Kansas, and Michigan.
The GOP candidates now trail in the key Senate races only in Maine, Alaska, Iowa, and North Carolina.
And data indicates that Democratic leads in Maine, Alaska, and Iowa are only by the slimmest of margins.
Only in North Carolina, among seats currently occupied Republicans, is the Democratic lead decisive.
If we can win where we now lead, Texas, Ohio, Kansas, and Michigan, and overcome very narrow deficits in Maine, Alaska, and Iowa, losing only North Carolina, we will hold our current majority of 53 to 47 in the Senate.
If we lose Maine, which is possible, it would be 52-48, but who cares? It still is the majority.
But in 18 key House races where Democrats are currently leading, their margins are paper thin.
The Democrats are only one or two points ahead in five races, three or four points ahead and seven more, and in only six races are they more than five points ahead.
So what's causing the change? It's a night and day difference from what it was two weeks ago.
They seem to be raising Republican enthusiasm and likely turnout, particularly in key states.
I loudly protest the failure of Fox News to cover the Trump rallies like they did in 24.
But largely due to popular pressure, Fox News is now broadcasting Trump rallies, giving much of the nation the chance to see and hear their president.
