kasie, let me ask you about that. i'm going to bring to bear some polling data from the latest wall street journal poll looking at likely voters. 50% wants democrats to control the u.s. congress. 43% of those likely voters want republicans to control the u.s. congress. give us your sense of where things stand from that data and from the information you've gathered here over the last few weeks. >> we should point out that poll is a slight tightening of the generic battle. i think the big question here that we're trying to answer is just how different is this electorate going to look this time around. how many more more suburban women. how much more millennials or not will show up to vote. right now we're seeing almost a mini presidential election in terms of early voting numbers. when i was out on the trail and i was in four states over the course of four days last week and one issue that kept coming up over and over again among people on both sides was health care. that tells me that there is some strength even among
