New Poll: GOP Ahead

The Washington Post's Dan Balz and Peyton M. Craighill report the latest WaPo/ABC News poll finds things are looking good for the GOP one week before the election, and conversely bad for the Dems. See what they write:

With multiple crises confronting the country (snip) a majority now says the government’s ability to deal with big problems has declined in the past few years. Among those who say this, more — by 3 to 1 — blame Obama and the Democrats rather than Republicans in Congress.

In many respects the potential 2014 electorate looks much like that of 2010, based on a comparison with the exit polls from four years ago. Among independents, Republicans hold a sizable advantage, as they did four years ago. Men favor Republicans by double digits, while women favor Democrats by mid-single digits.

"Men favor Republicans by double digits, while women favor Democrats by mid-single digits." So Dems have a "men" problem, more-so than the GOP's supposed "women" problem, at least this year. It looks like the return of the 2002 "security moms" who today feel threatened by ISIS, Ebola.
