As of october 12th, outraising their -- just candidates outraising their opponents, 626 to 473 million in house races. look at the senate races as well there. if you have momentum and the numbers on your side, sometimes the missing ingredient is money. democrats are not lacking there. >> theyre making up for what they know will be a factor. were already starting to see it in the polls. the president is having a pretty good week. hes having a pretty good couple of weeks. the economy is still doin...

Governor wolf, between now and november 6th, im going to stomp all over your face with golf spikes because im going to win this for the state of pennsylvania and were throwing you out of office. >> on that grisly note, welcome back to up. key races in states like georgia, arizona, nevada, missouri and oregon are tossups. and new polling suggests while democrats are poised to regain control of the house, their path to gaining control of the senate is narrowing. beta orourke is trailing in the pol...

Gained seats in the house and senate. i dont think that something terrible can have to worry about. the main concern will be enthusiasm because polls are showing democrats are more enthusiastic than a million voters are right now. neil: if that is the case, that would be a concern? is there anything we are missing and i do notice gaps are narrowing and enthusiasm polls which change, i understand, they were in low single digits and now double digits. which is real? >> folks look at having run in ...
