No idea about quality of the pollster. They have the Senate race tied.

[Brittain33]

They're an (R) pollster.

Thanks. I have no doubt Romney wins Indiana but have a tough time believing the margin. Senate poll is interesting, if a Republican poll only has the race a tie Donnelly has a real shot.

Politico is reporting this as a Mourdock internal. An internal poll showing him tied, 44%-44%? That's pretty close to stick-a-fork-in-him territory.

Internal for Mourdock. Could mean Obama is within 10 in the state now.

It would be really interesting to see how Romney would handle a D senate that doesn't hinge on Manchin's vote.  It looks very plausible now that Romney narrowly wins and R's only go +1 net in the senate.

Landrieu and Begich would side with Rs on many important issues. Possibly Pryor and Hagen as well.

Disagree.  All of those people voted for Obamacare.  So did Donnelly in the House.

True, but with a Republican President, there will be new pressures for them to deal with. It depends on the agenda. Landrieu knows which way the wind blows and doesn't want to be targeted in 2014.

She'll be targeted anyways. She's a Democrat in

Romney's white-power strength is ill-located - loads of it here in Indiana, too much really, and not enough in Ohio or Wisconsin.  So close and yet so far...

[Landslide Lyndon]

Mourdock's internal from a month ago showed Romney ahead by 55-39. So at least in Indiana no momentum for Mittens.
