If I were McConnell, I wouldnt want to be tied heading into election night.

Most of thr polls we've seen have McConnell up by 4 pts. Where he should be at, but not out of play for us.

And with only two posts in we see both side's hackishness being represented.

You're really celebrating that McConnell is up a measly 2 points in Kentucky?

More confirmation that McConnell has the same odds of being re-elected as Mark Warner, and better odds than Franken.

Also, I just looked at the crosstabs. Why is there only a 1 point Democratic advantage in partisan identification? Isn't Kentucky supposed to have a double digit advantage, even though a large portion of them are Dixiecrats?

Team Mitch has weathered tough elections basically every time since he first won (except for like one year). It's a midterm year during an unpopular President's sixth year. The GOP has a chance at winning the Senate. The national climate favors the incumbent's party. It's Kentucky.

Mitch isn't going to lose. It won't even be particularly close in the end.

If it is tied on Election Day, it will be Grimes race. I remember the Mongiardo race which Bunning had the race too close to call.

If I was Mitch, I would count on a heated race.

Didn't the Dems lead in that almost totally meaningless generic ballot for most of 2010 and 1994?

LOL MUST ALWAYS BE WRONG THEN HAHA!

Aside from a few infamous predictions (and what you referenced wasn't even a prediction), I'm actually pretty accurate with my predictions. The vast moronic conspiracy against me seeks to drown out the truth though and sadly, it has been pretty successful around these parts. This is what you resort to when you can't refute my actual points.

Around this point in 2010, Republicans lead by 3-6 points.

Beats me, but it was relatively accurate in 2008, 2010, and 2012. That seems more relevant than an election from 2 decades ago from before poll aggregation became a thing.

And still ultimately meaningless. Guarantee Presidential approval is more indicative of the national mood than generic ballot.

I'm not sure how you can believe it won't be close. Look at the numbers. I could see Grimes losing by 6 if it gets out of hand for her, but honestly this has been neck and neck and will continue to be so. The only reason Rand Paul got a relatively health double digit margin against a statewide officer is because Conway fumbled the ball so poorly.

All of the reason I stated above are reason enough to believe it won't be all that close. If Grimes can't end the Summer in the lead then I think everyone should really doubt it will close.

You didn't make a valid point to refute. McConnell leading by only 2 in an R+13 state that has a lot of Democratic office holders statewide does not suggest he will win big, let alone win at all.

Right, the factors I mentioned just aren't proof of how a race can ultimately break quite clearly one way...

This race is still very much a toss-up.

ALG leads by 17 among Indies, which is a good sign.

Phil,
The problem is that Mcconnell is as unpopular as Obama. Don't forget that.

I think he will win, but certainly not by a big margin like you pretend.
