the advantage the Democrats have over Republicans has dropped to their lowest level since CNN has been keeping track. The Republicans have been unable to keep the Democratic advantage to single digits for two consecutive polls so it will be interesting to see if the current Republican wave lasts.

The Republicans are getting a lot of positive coverage right now for having won the Massachusetts Senate seat -- and as the positive coverage wanes, the Democratic advantage may go back up.
