Several recent public opinion surveys show Republicans holding an edge among registered voters. The latest Gallup poll finds 48 percent supporting Republican candidates, and 43 percent favoring Democratic candidates. But among likely voters surveyed, the Republican margin is greater. And experts say the Republican edge among likely voters in numerous surveys points to significant gains in November at the expense of Democrats.
Democrats are doing all they can to mobilize their voters in the final two weeks of the campaign. Among those lending a hand is first lady Michelle Obama, who spoke recently at a Democratic Party fundraising event in New York.
"We are not there just because of an election. We are not there just because we support folks that we love. We are here to renew that promise," said President Obama.
One of the most visible Republicans on the campaign trail this year is former Alaska Governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. Palin kicked off a Tea Party bus tour in Nevada that will travel to 19 states in hopes of generating support for Republican candidates on Election Day.
"Mr. Obama and your czars, you are next because now we can see 2012 from our house!" said Palin.
