Democrats will keep the Senate, Chuck Schumer predicted just nine days out from the midterm elections.
"I know all the pundits are saying Republicans will take the Senate. Democrats are going to prove the pundits wrong on Election Day when we keep the Senate," the No. 3 Democrat in the Senate said on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday.
Schumer, who represents New York, argued that polls showing GOP candidates ahead in key swing states didn't take into account the Democrats' ground game in mobilizing voters, which he argued was better than that of the Republicans.
"You can add two to three points ... for each of those races, just about every one of those races. So if its 44-43, were probably ahead," Schumer claimed.

Chuck Schumer predicts that Democrats will hold the Senate
A new poll shows Americans' disdain for Congress is weaker than it has been in more than three years, but neither party has much to brag about.
The Washington Post-ABC News poll shows 50 percent of Americans say they "strongly" disapprove of the way Congress is doing its job. The good news: That's the lowest that number has been since March 2011. The bad news: It's still half the country really disliking Congress.
And when it comes to the two major parties, the improvement doesn't really show.
In fact, congressional Democrats are facingtheirhighest disapproval rating in at least the last 20 years, at 67 percent. Meanwhile, 30 percent approve of the job congressional Democrats are doing.
The poll comes on the heels of a WaPo-ABC poll that showed the Democratic Party in general hitting a three-decade lowas far as how people feel about it.
Democrats, though, still remain more popular than the GOP. Just 25 percent of Americans say they approve of the job Republicans in Congress aredoing, while 72 percent disapprove.
The difference between the two parties, though, is smaller than it has usually been.
Democrats appear to be suffering from declining support among African Americans, who are about evenly split on the party, with 50 percent approving and 47 percent disapproving.
Another big difference between the two parties has been the GOP base's reluctance to support its congressional contingent. But, at this point, both party bases feel about the same when it comes to their congressional representatives. Democrats approve of their party 56-42, while Republicans approve 55-38.
When even partisans are that divided on their own party, though, it's hard to call that a victory.
