McClatchy Shocker: Dems and GOPers Tied Among LVs
Is it an outlier or a harbinger from McClatchy (.pdf)?

If November's election for Congress were held today, which party's candidate are you more likely to vote for in your district?

Democratic: 46 percent
Republican: 46 percent

These numbers aren't among registered voters, a group within which Democrats have continued to poll relatively well -- they represent interviews with likely voters. In fact, the Democrats actually lead 47 percent to 41 percent among registered voters in this survey, a net 8-point swing in their favor within this population since last month's McClatchy-Marist poll (.pdf).

So could the tide be turning? Or is this just statistical noise?

4. The Newsweek poll showed the same movement.

When Blacks, Hispanics, and young voters are included, these polls show a very different picture.
