That's what I'm thinking, too, Cynosure.

Wisconsin would be quite an unfortunate hold for the Republicans because Johnson has proven to be quite corrupt, and we really need to kick these guys out. He's led every poll I've seen since August, unfortunately. Still within margin of error, but sort of seems like the DEMS are focusing more elsewhere. Which leads me to...

...Ohio. It'd be quite the swing (Portman won his reelection by 21pts in 2016) for the DEMS to pick this one up, and DeWine is going to win the Governor's race easily, but JD Vance has proven to be just that awful of a candidate where it's possible. Similar to Mastriano in PA (though not as bad), he's putting minimal effort into his campaign with few events and little spending. If I recall, some major GOP donor also pulled his support for Vance due his "care less" attitude, and has put his money toward other races.

If it wasn't for McConnell sinking nearly $30 million into this race for Vance, he'd almost be certain to lose I feel. (And again, McConnell doing far, FAR more for the GOP than the far-right deserves with their feelings toward him and racist comments about his wife.) So, if DEMS go all in here in the final weeks, they could manage the upset. There hasn't been a recent poll here, so hopefully we see a batch soon.

Looks like the controversy is hurting Walker, I agree with Shack that PA and AZ are more likely for Pubs now than GA

I'd guess the abortion story hurts more than the Christian Walker thing

Trafalgar has been sticking with these two crazy polls. Can't be real but if they get it down to 5 or 6 or so that would be a good result for Republicans.

Even losing by a small margin would be great in a blue state.

Just shows how pathetic the candidates are in AZ, PA and GA. With good candidates, the Republicans would walk away with those races, as they're far more Republican than WA, NY, or VA or NJ from last year

It's very very very very funny, to me, that Walker might win Georgia despite being an abusive parent, abusive husband, man who gets women pregnant and then forces them to get abortions... RUNS on the idea that he's AGAINST all of that... and Republicans are just like "yeah, I'm gonna vote for him".

Just continuing to prove my point that Republicans live in an alternate reality. No morals whatsoever.


I’ve thought long and hard about how to respond to this. But there’s only one thing to say that isn’t unbelievably cruel. If you realized how much reality cares about all false morality, you wouldn’t be laughing, you would be crying. Either that or you would have to be dead, because like reality, he doesn’t need your power or respect, he’s just running for the hell of it. And don’t be fooled, nothing you feel is human lies beyond that.

Senate is looking to remain 50/50 with Republicans gaining Nevada and Democrats gaining Pennsylvania and all other incumbent parties keeping their seats. The next closest race right now is Arizona with Masters only 1% behind Kelly in the most recent poll. Walker still 3% behind Warnock, which is where he was before the scandal even came out. Oz seems to be about 3% behind Fetterman but the polling is all over the place with some polls having hum behind by double digits and other with him only down 2%. PA is the biggest wildcard since AZ and GA's polling in the last few years has been far more accurate, usually within 1%, whereas PA Republicans have overperformed by 2-4% in the same time period

I think Nevada and Arizona will both go in the same direction in the end.

Recent polling puts New Hampshire back in reach since Bolduc is only 3% behind Hassan in a recent poll, and NH polling has underrepresented Republicans by up to 4% in recent elections

Tulsi Gabbard announced she is leaving the Democratic Party. Wonder if she is registering as Independent or as Republican.

What's everyone's opinion of Herschel Walker? I'm not hugely familiar with U.S. politics, so what's this guy's rap?

He was a semi-celebrity before as a famous football player, I knew who he was and what he looked like despite not knowing that much about college football where he was one of the best of all time playing for Georgia where he's now running, and then had a decent pro career and inspired a famously bad trade to get him. He kind of has a classic ex football demeanour of talking like a guy that's had too many concussions, and claims he was diagnosed with some multiple personalities. He was able to become Republican candidate due to his status as football legend down there.

He has a lot of skeletons in the closet with violent baby momma allegations. He had a bad last few weeks between the a story that he's paid for abortions despite not advocating against them, and his son who had a social media following as a black anti-BLM Republican and had been supporting him before, turned on him suddenly and said he was violent to his mom.

Probably not a great guy but Republicans would be predicted to win that state if it was an average candidate, so he might have a chance no matter what once he became the candidate. At this point the US is so polarized in terms of views that a lot of Republicans would probably vote for OJ over a Democrat who'd vote for far left agenda in Senate like Warnock. The opposite is true in Pennsylvania senate race where Dr Oz's opponent Fetterman just had a stroke and doesn't seem to be fully functioning normal yet, but the Democrats would still rather have him in Senate over a Republican vote.

Not a bad summary, a little spotty at the end with the whole “far left agenda” non sense, but also fairly accurate in the minds of some voters. Also misses that mark a bit on Oz who himself is also controversial.

Pennsylvania seems more and more in reach as Fetterman botches the home stretch of the campaign. Hopefully next week's debate seals the deal for Oz

I saw a poll asking what is the most important issue to people, and they answered inflation, economy/jobs and immigration. Then they asked what do you think the Republicans and Democrats considered the most important. For the Republicans it was the same three in a different order (although with immigration higher showing they think Republicans overrate that), but for the Democrats the top 3 was January 6, abortion and guns. The Democrats obsession with J6/abortion will help them a bit getting the progressives to vote but it's unclear if moderate voters care as much.

Your only possible definition of sanity must be rooted in emotion.

Democrats must realize that Stacey Abrams is a liability at some point? There's no reason Warnock should be leading in the polls but Abrams is 6% behind Kemp. Surely in a state that has purpled the polls should be closer?

Abrams is aggressively unlikable to anyone moderate, independent or merely non leftist in anyway. Her dwelling on "voter suppression" is tone deaf considering the Democrat's running against election denial as a major campaign issue.

When she loses it will be hilarious to watch
