Hardly two days short of the U.S. 2014 midterms, Democratic and GOP candidates made their final closing arguments on Sunday, with early polls showing figures more favorable to Republican hopefuls.
Presidential candidate Senator Hillary Clinton and co-Demorat Senator Jeanne Shaheen rallied back to back in New Hampshire against Republican bet and former senator Scott Brown. In her closing remarks, Clinton said the GOP is using the public's fear to advance its campaigns in the state.

Meanwhile, GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney appealed to the voters that choosing Democratic allies is a representation of support for President Barrack Obama's faltering policies in healthcare, economy, and campaigns to curb Islamic militants.
Romney, 67, told Fox News Sunday this is the time for Americans to actually inflict change on the country's political environment.
The 2014 U.S. midterms would elect 435 members of the House of the Representatives, 36 governors and 100 senators with two from each state. The GOP already has control over the House and needed to win six more in the Senate to take over the Congress power.
According to NBC/Marist survey, Republicans have leading senate races particularly in Georgia, Kentucky and Louisiana. Similarly, a Des Moines Register poll concluded on Saturday showed Iowa representative Joni Ernst leading by seven points against Democratic candidate Bruce Braley.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell from Kentucky is also leading at nine points against Allison Lundergan Grimes at 41 percent chances of winning. David Perdue, who is running for a senatorial seat appeared to be ahead of Democrat Michelle Nunn at 48-44 difference as of the Tuesday polls.
Meanwhile, Obama's aggressive last-minute campaigns for the Democrat in the last week seem to be taking effect with incumbent senator Mary Landrieu winning at least 44 percent of the voters against GOP's Bill Cassidy with 36 percent.
Landrieu is also confident she can get around Republican challenger Rob Maness, who has 15 percent of Louisiana votes.
Approximately 16.4 million Americans from 31 states have casted their early votes, based on a report from Associated Press. Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Montana, North Carolina and Wisconsin proved to maintain strong election turnout, surpassing the total number of registered voters since 2010.
