Poll: Dems Hold Enough Leads for Senate Control

HeadlineNov 03, 2006

Here in the United States, a new poll shows Democrats are holding enough seats for a shot at winning control of the Senate. Democratic nominees are holding at least slim leads in six of the seven most vulnerable Republican Senate races — Pennsylvania, Ohio, Missouri, Montana, Virginia and Rhode Island. The Democrats need to pick up six seats to win Senate control. On a campaign stop in Montana Thursday, President Bush dismissed the poll numbers and predicted a Republican victory.

President Bush: “We have been through this before you might remember 2004. Some of them were picking out offices in the West Wing (of the White House). The movers never got the call and the same thing is going to happen on November 7th, we will win the Senate and we will win the House.”
