FYI - expect a WPRI/Fleming poll on the race around 5PM tomorrow.  One Providence TV station can't let the other trump it during sweeps month.

I presume we all understand now why Obama made the trip out here this week.

Excellent news. It would be great if Loughlin can pull through on Tuesday.

I wonder which way the undecideds in RI-1 would lean.

Fortunately for us, RI polling tends to suck big fat..., so we really know nothing.

Well, RCP, no doubt due to this poll, has moved RI-1 to toss up this morning, along with ME-1.  New England has all of these mystery seats, most of which the GOP should lose, but it seems barely possible if the Halloween spirit is still in play, that come morning, the GOP might grab a half dozen or more seats, rather than just settle for one in New Hampshire.

This one has actually has a decent MoE, for once.  Usually, the pollsters in RI (and Maine) split a 400-600 LV sample in half when they put out CD-level results.   This time, Quest oversampled RI-01, it appears.

And they have ME-2 in "lean." Me thinks RCP is getting way ahead of themselves, but I do agree, at least, that there may be something going on in ME-1.

Three seats out of Democratic hands would be a blessing. Any more is just a whole lot of hurt for the Dems.
