But the GOP holds a significant lead among those most likely to cast ballots: 47 percent of these voters favor a Republican controlled-Congress, 39 percent a Democratic one. That\u2019s a shift in the GOP\u2019s favor since an AP-GfK poll in late September, when the two parties ran about evenly among likely voters.  <\/p>\n<p>Women have moved in the GOP\u2019s direction since September. In last month\u2019s AP-GfK poll, 47 percent of female likely voters said they favored a Democratic-controlled Congress and 40 percent wanted the Republicans to capture control. In the new poll, the two parties are about even among women, 44 percent prefer the Republicans, 42 percent the Democrats.  <\/p>\n<p>In all, the poll finds that 55 percent of likely voters now expect Republicans to win control of the Senate, up from 47 percent last month. Democrats have grown slightly more pessimistic on this count since September, with 25 percent expecting the GOP to take control now, compared with 18 percent earlier.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.abqjournal.com\/484061\/news\/most-likely-voters-expect-gop-to-control-senate.html\">Most likely voters expect GOP to control Senate | Albuquerque Journal News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is only ONE way Democrats lose: We don\u2019t vote.
