Last Rassy poll Burr was up by 22, this just goes to show you that Burr can lose this race once people start to know Marshall.

[Lief 🐋]

This race will definitely be competitive, especially if unemployment begins to fall.

If unemployment starts to fall then this race will be slight Democratic take over. Burr is weaker then Dole was in 2008.

[Mr.Barkari Sellers]

Based on Bev Perdue's poll numbers, she doesn't appeal to the same voters and she did in 2008 therefore, Marshall will have a tough time being elected. This race leans GOP and so does NV and IND, unless the dems net gain seats, and there's a low probabilty that will happen.

[Meeker]

Seat is cursed.

[SvenssonRS]

Here's hoping whichever Democratic candidate will be able to surmount Burr's tiny lead. The man's useless.

This goes to show you that Rasmussen state polling isn't very good.

[Mjh]

The polling for Burr have been all over the place. The 20% lead last time probably exagerated his lead, but I still think he'll pull through. This is the kind of seats that the Democrats would easily in in 2006 or 2008, but not this year.

I think the only GOP held seat the Democrats have a shot at is Voinovics seat in Ohio.

PPP polls for this race show it just as close as well. I will not be shock to find the poll that PPP will have out next week to have this race with-in five percent.

[HappyWarrior]

This race will definitely be competitive, especially if unemployment begins to fall.

I read the new Gallup report from the past couple days and employment has gone up by 5 points on it.  Obviously this is not in percentages.

What I meant was, that it was never a 20 point race.

Oh, I see. Yea I agree, it wasn't.

BTW, Happy: Thanks for posting that graph which clearly shows the current crappy state of the economy is entirely Obama's fault.

Remember folks, nothing ever happened prior to Jan, 2009.

Very nice. Is it me or are a lot of these polls starting to look a little less dire for Dems?

I think it goes both ways. I agree that the Democrats look more competitive in North Carolina, but on the other hand Kirk looks far stronger in Illinois than he did just a month or two ago.

Mainly because Giannoulias is turning out to be a stock typical corrupt Illinois Democrat.

I agree, if he Democrats had a good candidate for this race, they would be way ahead in the polls.

And because Kirk is an excellent candidate. If the Illinois GOP had nominated someone like Alan Keyes, then Giannoulias would easily win, despite his obvious flaws.

[Mr.Barkari Sellers]

The Dems were very fortunate to have ran against two rightwing conservatives in Fitzgerald and Keyes and Baar Topinka in the last few election cycles. Now they are faced with credible challengers and the GOP might start winning now.
