OH-SEN (R-1984 Society/Fallon): Brown +14

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

RCP hasn't put this in yet. Rightwing bias. They're quick to jump on any Reuters poll when they get the chance.

Sometimes I get the impression that you think that the midterm elections this year will see the biggest Democratic wave in decades, whereas, due to polarization, gerrymandering, and other factors, I don't think it will be a large one. RCP is reliable, in my opinion, and they display little bias in their reporting on the races. Their Senatorial and Congressional ratings are reasonable.

I know I may appear to be over optimistic for the Democrats sometimes, but the head election analyst at RCP, Sean Trende, is a known Republican and RCP skewers right. They moved 11 seats to the Republicans after the Reuters R+6 blip and haven't spoken a word ever since it receded back to D+8.

You are right, in that the crowd which is attracted to RCP is right-leaning. Many of the people who post comments there are Trump supporters, and believe that the Republicans are poised to gain seats this year, which is implausible. And Trende is definitely a Republican. But I still think that their overall ratings are reasonable, even if they are not as precise as we might want them to be.

I'm not saying that their ratings, overall, AREN'T reasonable, I just think that their motives behind making certain race changes can be questionable.
