Polls: Surge for GOP in Montana, Rhode Island, Tennessee

Republicans are seeing a last minute surge, according to a series of Mason-Dixon polls for McClatchy Newspapers-MSNBC.

"Twelve new state-by-state polls show a surprise shift in the political battleground to the north as Republican incumbents clawed their way back in two states frequently written off as lost to them — Montana and Rhode Island," McClatchy newspapers reported early Sunday. Republican Sen. Conrad Burns is now in a dead heat with Democrat Jon Tester, both tied with 47 percent of the vote. Burns had been trailing badly just weeks ago.

And another major surprise is in Rhode Island. Republican Sen. Lincoln Chafee is actually leading Democrat challenger Sheldon Whitehouse by one point, 46-45. Recent news reports had suggested Chafee, lagging in the polls, was heading for defeat.

Other encouraging news for the GOP comes from Tennessee. The most recent poll has Republican Bob Corker leading Democrat Harold Ford 50-38 percent.

All the polls were surveyed between Tuesday and Friday.

"The Senate is very much up for grabs,” said Brad Coker, the pollster for Mason-Dixon. "The big change is that senators Burns and Chafee have come back to life.”

While Chafee is pyrrhic, Burns is a good guy.

Though I can't really find it within myself to thank God for John Kerry...

Why are we always on the same threads?

Watch the premature euphoria. It ain't over yet. The dems are still digging up dead voters and will be double-dipping on the 7th.

This the polls correcting themselves so they do not look so stupid. Yes Cary helped out. But these polls were rigged from the start.

Just wait until we hear the exit polls...They won't match this polling info, or reality. They are probably doing the exit polls this weekend and will release them by noon E. time Tuesday.

I agree, but if we pull this off, I'd like it to go down in history that Kerry blew it for his party twice. I'm evil. ;)

Don't believe a word of it. These were the proper numbers to begin with. "Likely voters" don't sway like this.

Ah yes. President Clinton's "golden campaigning touch" at it again. Harold Ford disinvites "Jon Carry" at the last minute when the heat gets to be too much, gets King Billy Jeff in instead, and look what happens............

BWAHAHAHAHA.

You're not alone. Believe it or not, many of the DUmmies were saying the same thing late last week during the Jon Carry fallout/tailspin.

My fingernails hurt from all that "clawing back". Not that I mind, mind you, because to my mind a Democrat victory is tantamount to a jihadi victory and I would take issue with that.
