POLL: GOP voters more ‘passionate’ about voting in the midterm election

This sort of news encourages me about the election.  This link was at the bottom of that article.  I am curious how the polls are taking this into account or how much in reality this will affect the election.  In those close races where the Repub is a little behind, does that account for this or might we expect a different result on election day. 

As Rush has said in the past, the pollsters might fudge at other times, but they really want to go down as predicting the winners before the election.  I'm curious if numbers will shift in the next two weeks.

I expect the Democrats to unleash the biggest barrage of negative ads ever seen. They're starting to hurt for money, though, so I'm not putting money on my prediction.
