Johnson in B+ seems wrong. Also LOL @ Fetterman and Oz being on anywhere near the same tier.

[David Hume]

Fetterman in C is lol

He is obviously weaker than a generic D, at most promote to C+ due to name recognition.

Johnson over-performed state fundamentals.

Oz runs a terrible campaign. In terms of candidate quality, he is similar to Fetterman.

What?

[GALeftist]

Fetterman in C is lol

He is obviously weaker than a generic D, at most promote to C+ due to name recognition.

This is not obvious to me. He is pushing 50% in poll after poll. If you want to say that's because Oz sucks, fine, but there's obviously a differential between the two.

It seems D leaners usually think Fetterman a strong candidate, but among R leaners, it is widely believed that he is a very weak candidate.

It is widely believed that Ron Johnson is very weak among D leaners, but that doesn't make it so. I trust empirics and hard data more than intuition in 90% of cases.

Johnson won competitive races twice when he was believed to lose. Fetterman did not win any. The only "hard data" are polls which consistently over estimate Ds.
