I've been reading some discussions this week about fake polls claiming Republicans are winning to make Dems think there's no point in voting. Apparently it was a technique used in a previous recent election? It would explain all the results I've seen in the last few days showing them with a strong lead, where a week or two ago other polls showed an even race. Doesn't really matter though, everyone should remember that the only thing that counts is getting out and casting your vote no matter what the polls might suggest.
There have been a lot of Republican polls posted, part of their "flood the zone" strategy. But I think even the nonpartisan polls are underestimating Dem support a bit.
One can hope, but I suspect nobody will be announcing a victor on Tuesday night.
