Title: WV-Rasmussen: After primary, Tennant (D) starts to gain on Capito (R) Post by: Tender Branson on May 19, 2014, 10:18:13 AM Last poll was Capito+14.
Now it's Capito+9. West Virginia Senate: Capito (R) 48%, Tennant (D) 39% ... Link out later. Title: Re: WV-Rasmussen: After primary, Tennant (D) starts to gain on Capito (R) Post by: windjammer on May 19, 2014, 10:21:12 AM Rasmussen=inaccurate.
But the progress is encouraging :D Title: Re: WV-Rasmussen: After primary, Tennant (D) starts to gain on Capito (R) Post by: IceSpear on May 19, 2014, 12:10:40 PM It would be nice to get a non-Ras poll here.

Title: WV: Rasmussen: Capito with Strong Lead in West Virginia Post by: ElectionAtlas on May 19, 2014, 04:14:00 PM New Poll: West Virginia Senator by Rasmussen on 2014-05-15 (https://uselectionatlas.org/POLLS/SENATE/2014/polls.php?action=indpoll&id=54220140515016)
Summary: D: 39%, R: 48%, U: 9% Poll Source URL: Full Poll Details (http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/elections/election_2014/west_virginia/election_2014_west_virginia_senate) Title: Re: WV-Rasmussen: After primary, Tennant (D) starts to gain on Capito (R) Post by: SPC on May 19, 2014, 05:52:45 PM Given that Rasmussen's error is larger than the poll movement, I would not read anything into this.
Title: Re: WV-Rasmussen: After primary, Tennant (D) starts to gain on Capito (R) Post by: Morning in Atlas on May 19, 2014, 06:45:27 PM So much for Rasmussen being Republican.
Title: Re: WV-Rasmussen: After primary, Tennant (D) starts to gain on Capito (R) Post by: SPC on May 19, 2014, 06:58:05 PM So much for Rasmussen being Republican. Sometimes Rasmussen's bias is overcome by his imprecision.

Sometimes Rasmussen's bias is overcome by his imprecision. Referring to Rasmussen as 'his' or 'he' no longer applies, as Scotty and the polling company bearing his name parted ways a while back. Title: Re: WV-Rasmussen: After primary, Tennant (D) starts to gain on Capito (R) Post by: Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers on May 20, 2014, 08:24:38 AM Some of these States like Mnt or WVa and ARK may move in Dem direction if the GOP don't generate the wave to take the Senate they need.
Title: Re: WV-Rasmussen: After primary, Tennant (D) starts to gain on Capito (R) Post by: ElectionsGuy on May 20, 2014, 04:27:20 PM Rasmussen lately has given us polls that are more democratic than the averages, its like their trying to make up for their 2012 mess by doing the opposite.
But overall I would still trust this poll. Capito has been double digits ahead consistently, and name recognition really isn't an issue anymore.

Real margin could be anything

Title: Re: WV-Rasmussen: After primary, Tennant (D) starts to gain on Capito (R) Post by: Maxwell on May 21, 2014, 03:36:51 PM This race will close between now and election day. I guess so, but I can't imagine a Tennat win. At best for Tennant, I could see a 51-47 win for Capito, and then Tennant becomes Governor for a term or something. Title: Re: WV-Rasmussen: After primary, Tennant (D) starts to gain on Capito (R) Post by: Ogre Mage on May 21, 2014, 06:35:01 PM While it is unlikely that we will win this race, I have not given up all hope. Democrats recruited a strong candidate for this race and if Capito slips up, I think Tennant will be poised to take advantage. Whether Tennant will be the Robin Carnahan or Heidi Heitkamp of 2014 remains to be seen.
Now S.D.? There's a race where I have given up all hope.

The Dems are in fine shape though. If we just concede WV/SD/MT, we can pick up Kentucky and hold on to most seats(we're favored in all but Louisiana right now).

Those are the three I suspect we will lose as well. But yes, while some of the incumbent Democratic senators running for reelection are in better shape than others, none are remotely close to "Blanche Lincoln territory." What's primarily hurt us in the past are open seats.
