The party trend?

Dick Morris, the pollster and political adviser who is a fixture on Fox News, is out with a new column in which he discusses the "party trend". This is a movement of voters who only pay attention to the elections in the last week or two before election day. According to Morris, polls tend to move in a more straight line fashion until mid-october and then they start to move strongly one way or the other. He expects this party trend to kick in strongly in October for the Republicans. Morris says that the party trend generally goes the same way as the trend in the rest of the electorate 9which this year is towards the Republicans).

If Morris is correct, then many races that now register as being close will move strongly toward the GOP as these undecideds move that way.
