...vote for the Democratic candidate for Congress, compared with 39% who favored the Republican--nearly a perfect reversal of the 51%-40% advantage the G.O.P. enjoyed as recently as August.

There's no indication that they are clamoring to be Democrats, but the risk is that they will simply stay home on Election...
...differences declines as choices rise.

But Negron faces a tougher task than a late-starting candidate would ordinarily; by law, Foley's name must remain on the Nov. 7 ballot, and though a vote for Foley would count as a vote for Negron, the chances of getting enough voters to drop their ill will toward Foley long enough to mark his name look slim at best. Even Florida's Republican Governor Jeb Bush conceded today that Negron "has an extraordinary challenge here. It's never been done before [in Florida]."
