Election forecasters say recent polling gains that have encouraged Democrats do not represent a lasting surge, and they see no statistical evidence of a so-called 'sugar-high' in the numbers — at least for now. Democrats have voiced concern that overly optimistic polling could depress turnout or lead to complacency, but modelers note current data does not yet show the kind of inflated bounce the party fears.
