I have never seen a year like this - 1984 and 1994 are pale in comparison...

Raleigh, N.C. – If the election were held today, Robert Byrd’s U.S. Senate seat from West Virginia would be held by a Republican and someone other than Byrd for the first time in 52 years. Though Governor Joe Manchin is still very popular, with a stellar 59-32 approval rating, second among those PPP has measured this year to Louisiana’s Bobby Jindal, he is trailing Republican opponent John Raese, 43-46, among likely voters.

I hope so to. Hahahahaha. There are so many holes for the dimoKKKRATS and their kneepad allies in the msm they don’t know where to go next. They have been spending all their time smearing Christine O’Donnell while they are losing other races. Snicker, snicker. So many holes in the dyke and not enough fingers.
and this is from PPP which is a Dem friendly polling outfit
man this is a good sign
now one poll does not mean much but hopefully this will begin a trend :)
This indicates a very positive trend for Mr. Raese. He is catching up with Manchin, but I cannot believe these numbers are that accurate.
Make no mistake, this is a tough fight, but in the end, Mr. Raese will prevail.
Even if Christian loses (and I hope she wins), she may provide the service of being the lightning rod. The left can obsess about her while we win everything else.
CHRISTINE, not Christian.
Don’t celebrate yet, it’s not beyond the MOE.
Basically compaed to last pollss Raese is only up a couple of points. The previous totals for polls are allbetween 42 to 46% for him and shows a very steady number. it is Manchin who is down from 50% area that has the most change in his totals. So far it is largely going into the undecided category. Is three is a hit from some bad publicity that could explain the drop? If it is yesterdays news next week then I suspect his numbers will go back to where they were.
On the other hand Rasmussen with a GOP supposed bias shows Manchin gaining. We need further polling to see where this race is.
I'm not sure what to make of this poll.

VA is pretty conservative and now they are losing another one who will be seated the day after the election.
Pray for America
This is WV.
“This indicates a very positive trend for Mr. Raese. He is catching up with Manchin, but I cannot believe these numbers are that accurate. Make no mistake, this is a tough fight, but in the end, Mr. Raese will prevail.”
I believe these numbers are accurate. Raese is flooding the airwaves and is effectively tying Manchin to Obama in a state where Obama only has a 29% approval rating, the lowest I think other than Wyoming. Raese says that Manchin will be a “rubber stamp” for Obama agenda and it is starting to make people take notice. It appears as if Manchin is trying to “run out the clock” and ride his 60-some percent approval rating to the Senate. I believe this little-talked about race could go either way. It’s all going to come down to voter turnout. If the WV GOP and the WV Tea Party comes out in droves it could be an upset win for Raese, who nearly beat Rockefeller for the Senate seat back in 1984.
Here's the key comment in PPP's release...
If the same internals were still true and this race had been run in 2008, Manchin would be ahead roughly 50-44.
Now there's a name that needs to be TEA Partied out of the Senate!
