In the generic ballot question Republicans are at 48% and Democrats at 44%

Does that lend itself to making a seat like IN-02 or IN-09 competitive?

People are really underestimating Democrats chance at flipping the senate.

The only tossups this year are TN, TX, and ND

The rest....at least under this environment...are a foregone conclusion.

I'm gonna devil's advocate and say that this doesn't mean much until Braun gets higher name rec, not mentioning IN polls tend to favor Republicans.

This is NBC/Marist, so I’m going to guess Donnelly +8.

Almost.

So much for Donnelly being much more vulnerable than McCaskill, though.

Both Donnelly and McCaskill have been under estimated before. At the end I think both finish fairly closely.

And IceSpear yes I do believe Donnelly could win over 60% in Hamilton County.

But several posters told me that Perfect Fit For The Suburbs™ Hillary Clinton already hit the Democratic ceiling in the suburbs, and that Trump (or ESPECIALLY a "normal" Republican) would do far better there even though basically every Republican candidate since 2016 has done worse than him in the suburbs, and sometimes significantly worse!
Democrats have been over performing far more in rural areas than in suburbs.

Not really.

KS-04: Thompson kept it relatively close because he cleaned up in Wichita and the suburbs, even winning Sedgwick County. He got crushed in the rural areas.
MT-AL: Quist mostly ran up the score in what passes for urban/suburban areas in Montana like Missoula, Bozeman (Gallatin County), Helena (Lewis and Clark County), and Butte (Silver Bow County.) He still got curbstomped in the rural areas.
VA-Gov: Northam did even better than Clinton in NoVa which hardly anyone expected, while also making massive improvements in the Virginia Beach and Richmond suburbs. He did far worse than even McAuliffe in the rural areas.
AL-Sen: Moore actually did better in the rural areas than he did in 2012. He lost because he got burbstomped in the Birmingham/Mobile/Huntsville cities and their suburbs, along with the Black Belt. Look at the swing in Jefferson, Shelby, and Madison Counties.
PA-18: Lamb won because of the Pittsburbstomping in Allegheny County, he was still soundly rejected in Washington/Greene/Westmoreland Counties.
AZ-08: Dems got a massive swing in a heavily Republican district that consists entirely of Phoenix suburbs.
OH-12: Same story as PA-18 basically, with a slightly different ending. O'Connor dominated in suburban Columbus (Franklin County) and put in an amazing performance for a Democrat in suburban Delaware County. It wasn't quite enough to make up for the thumping he got in the rural areas of the district.

Really the only counter example and the reason the whole "suburbs are fools gold" narrative got started is because of GA-06, which is a pretty obvious outlier at this point.

I've always been confused as to why people thought Donnelly was DOA, he's not at all a bad fit for the state.

But isn’t getting a little late for Braun to still be this unknown? Trump already has done like 2 rallies with the guy. This shows he’s doing something wrong campaign wise at least

I mean, Marist is a pretty good pollster, but I'd like to see more than one poll before concluding that with certainty, though.

Still a Toss-Up for now, but it does seem like Donnelly may have been underestimated (or maybe Braun was overestimated?)

This is certainly good news for Donnelly, but at this point in the '16 Senate race, there were polls showing Evan Bayh up anywhere from 4 to 9. He ended up losing by 10.

Moot point. The fundamentals are fundamentally different this year.

I'm hoping for Missouri or North Dakota. Please, not another FL poll showing a tie.

Marist already did FL not too long ago, so I don't think that's it.

The Trafalgar poll was suspicious, but this really does make a decent Donnelly advantage seem way more likely. At this juncture, the only particularly vulnerable seats the Dems have are ND, where Heitkamp has been consistently trailing by a slim margin, and MO, where it looks like Hawley's gotten up to speed and it's pretty much a tie.

I wouldn't say deep trouble, but he and Walorski are in for some serious races.

Certainly a good poll for Donnelly. The question is, has he hit his ceiling? How much higher can Braun go?

Yep, Dems are DOA in rural areas at this point.  Does not bode well for the Senate.
