3 week poll. I'm wondering what people's thoughts are.

Alaska, only because it's Alaska.

Kentucky, I guess. Maybe Arkansas if Hillary has a surprisingly strong former home state effect.

Alaska, since Murkowski isn't exactly beloved by many Republicans in that state. Still, it won't happen.

North Dakota, it's been a VERY Democratic state over the past decades at the Senate level. I'm really nervous about that race.



Just kidding. Alaska, it can be prone to weird trends. Moran is WAY more popular than Roberts and has only token opposition, Paul is pretty popular despite my quite being the best fit for Kentucky, and Eldridge is strong but not nearly good enough to overcome the heavy Republican tilt of the state. Clinton won't get much (if any) former home state boost in Arkansas, I don think.

I don't know why people are voting Alaska. The Democrat has literally raised $0.

KY and AR are obviously <1%, but they at least have serious candidates.

Dems won't win any of these, but if I had to pick one, I'd pick Kentucky because maybe people are unhappy with Paul after his presidential run, and Jim Gray is a serious candidate. None of the other races (with the exception of Arkansas) have credible Democrats running.

This year, or generally?

Generally, Alaska. This year, Arkansas, maybe.

Probably due to the small likelihood of Murkowski getting primaried and not trying the write-in campaign. Long shot, but all the other seats may be even longer.

The primary was 11 days ago. She won VERY easily.
