Conducted for a liberal website, so very good news for Blunt and Burr.

Have to admit, it would be sad but also pretty amusing if Ross, Kander and Bayh ended up losing their races after Tester/Schumer said they pulled tens of millions out of Florida so they could focus on more winnable races.

Just because PPP conducted a poll for a liberal firm doesn't mean they changed their methodology to skew left.

Ugh, Feingold only up 5.

Stop. PPP doesn't change its methodology based on its clients.

Good polls for Blunt and especially Burr. WI was never going to be a GOP hold. McGinty will win PA, and CCM is increasing her lead in NV; together with early voting that race is now definitely going in her direction. If we keep NC and MO out of these I'm happy, so these are quite good numbers for the GOP.

NV and WI should be safe for the Dems. PA is closer, but McGinty looks to be in good shape. Those MO/NC numbers are a bit more disappointing, but if Clinton wins NC by enough, she could pull Ross over the top.

Yes, it is time to give up on MO and NC Senate, they are clearly unwinnable due to emails, right?

[/atlas over reacting]

You basically overreact to all MO polls ("should I just give up on Koster and Kander?") so not really your place to call others out on overreacting lol.

When did I say we should give up on those races? I said that these particular numbers are disappointing, but of course neither race is over.

I don't have a whole lot of faith in polling this year, so I could see all these races going either way (along with NH and IN).

Ron Jon! Only down by 5 in a think progress poll that adores feingold? great result! TOSSUP WISEN

His name isn't Jon.

I see my magick has allowed Feingold to pull away with this again.  I'll keep brewing the goods, folks.

Ron Jon is a nickname he gave himself.

Oh, I thought he said "Run Jon!"

Anyway, Johnson is terrible and he needs to lose, and I think he will, but narrowly. Maybe my Tommy Thompson levels.

NH - Hassan +3

Great!

No don't be silly. It Won't be because of emails, NC is likely lost because of dog whistling in that one ad Burr threw out.

And MO was always gonna be crazy, same way CO 2014 was Dem in the bag even with Udall's floundering until turnout happened.

These all look about right, actually.

Junk polls

In retrospect, I wonder if Kay Hagan should've just tried again.



Blunt and Masto were mostly correct, and Burr was still within the MOE.
