Kagen, Gard in Virtual Dead Heat
From The Xoff Files:
A new independent poll done by a national firm gives Dem Steve Kagen a 2% lead over Repub John Gard in the 8th District House race. They've surveyed 30 districts across the country, and you can see a summary of results here.

A knowledgeable pollster friend says that although it's an automated survey, it's done by two experienced, reputable pollsters and has a sample size of nearly 1000. So it's pretty reliable.

See cross tabs here.
Side note: Expect to see 224 Democrats in Congress next term and 205 Republicans, with 6 seats going who knows where. At least based on this survey, which seems pretty reasonable.
