Independent polling of 27 US House races, and the Democrats have to like these numbers. While I would have expected better figures for them in a couple of races, on the whole these are excellent for them - and show real opportunities in places that weren't at all obvious 6 months ago. I mean just look at Pennsylvania 10, Virginia 2 and Washington 8. Those are all surprisingly good numbers for the Democrats - and they better hold on to and strengthen those figures if they hope to take back the House (which is still much less of a sure thing than the punditocracy is describing it of late).
In terms of the local angle, Rep. Mollohan (D-WV) is ahead - but only 52-42. That's going to be a close race.
