I am shocked, shocked, I tell you, that Djou is ahead.  Who knew?

There's not too much surprising here, unless you count how close some of these races are.

Except Ill-10 appears to be a Pubbie fail.  So the Dems will probably get 3 GOP seats.  I am a bit suprised the Pubbie here is lagging by so large a margin, assuming that the poll is any good.

Am I the only one who thinks the undecideds across the board are way too high for this time of year? Lots of 42-39 or 40-41 polls seem very unenlightening given that we already know all of these races are competitive. By comparison, I think Djou had 45% in the poll showing him behind.

Some voters may be too embarrased to admit that they have no idea who the candidates are, and thus say they are undecided, when really, they will just be voting a party line.  Or maybe a lot of voters are cross pressured, and genuinely undecided. Or maybe the polls are flawed. I don't have a clue.
