The numbers – and the votes – may be looking better for Republicans. From a recent NBC News-Wall St. Journal poll to a special House election in central Florida, the data and the facts – while not all positive – appear to be pushing red.How might this possible momentum affect Midterms 2014, the battle for Senate control – even early Presidential positioning for 2016? Most importantly, how might the politics impact the policy? Would rising Republican confidence mean a late push for action on the issues that matter – or just a greater guarantee that little more will get done during this Congress.Helping us make sense: Republican pollster Neil Newhouse, partner and co-founder of Public Opinion Strategies, twice named “Pollster of the Year.”
