It is time to really press GOTV

I felt so bad reading this. I am a democratic ...in Canada I am a NDP,Liberal or Green leaner. Never a PC.... YUK!!! Having a majority Republican senate would be a disaster in the USA..Look at our majority PC government. Harper is destroying Canada


he lesson here for us is that young people, millennials, are no longer the political outliers that they once were," he said.

'Millennials could be a critical swing vote. Candidates for office: ignore millennial voters at your peril.'

The study found that a majority of those surveyed would prefer Congress be controlled by Democrats instead of Republicans, but the key finding is that the opposite view is held among most of those who are actually going to the polls on Nov.4.

Fifty-one per cent of those who say they will definitely be voting would prefer a Republican-controlled Congress. That's a big change from the last midterm election in 2010, when it was the Democrats who won the majority when that question was asked — and they won it by a wide margin of 12 percentage points.
