On Tuesday, America will elect a whole bunch of governors, a sizable part of the U.S. Senate and the entire House of Representatives. They do so at a time when most voters think it would be better to dump the entire Congress rather than to keep the crew that’s in there now. That’s not likely to happen, but there will probably be a change in control of the House even as the vast majority of incumbents get re-elected. But talk’s cheap in campaign seasons. This is what we know from our final week of surveys before Election Day.
