Latest polling results from Real Clear Politics as of today, August 18, 2014
Top Senate Races RCP Average
Kentucky McConnell (R) +3.0
Colorado Udall (D) +1.5
Iowa Ernst (R) +0.8
North Carolina Tillis (R) +1.3
Louisiana Cassidy (R) +1.0
Arkansas Cotton (R) +3.0
Michigan Peters (D) +4.0
Georgia Perdue (R) +4.0
New Hampshire Shaheen (D) +10.4
West Virginia Capito (R) +9.3
Glad to see Cotton doing better in Arkansas. I’m a little nervous about Iowa. I’m still thinking that the illegal Mexicans and pot heads will put Udall over the top in CO.
mcconnell need to lose
The fact that these races are within 10 points shows how stupid people are. And that includes the gop establishment. They’re the stupidest of them all. Slap your base in the face and this is what you get. All of these races are within the margin of fraud.
I think this about right.
Suggests a GOP pick up in the Senate.
Too bad they couldn’t find a local candidate in NH.
Carpetbagging usual does not sit well with voters, however RFK and HRC got away with it in NY.
Your comment is absolutely INSANE.
A vote for Grimes is a vote for BHO and vote for Harry Reid as Majority Leader.
Completely and totally irresponsible.
Grimes is a big time lib and proxy for both BHO and Harry Reid.
He most likely will. The dems will engineer "wins" in these close races.
So in other words basically all are within the margin of error except for Shaheen and Capito.
Voter fraud is what We The People better be documenting, exposing and shutting down. There will be thousands of “dead” voting, ya think?
Stick a fork in the Landfill. Thanks to the jungle general, being down by 1 is a death sentence
Seriously, Michigan?
You wanna dive straight back into the policies that brought you double-digit unemployment and Detroit bankruptcy?
The gib-me-dats don't care about inflation and bankruptcy. They want pie.
RFK HRC and W, even Jeb, all from the big three families, all backstage intertwined.
All bets are off when it comes to members of these royal families that people in this country seem so happy to keep in power, and on the scene, no matter what.
any time people talk about H! in anyway, I cannot believe that people don’t realize she does not fit into the regular rules.
The Bush family are the only republicans who have been in the White House since Reagan.
ad it has been a mess since GHWB got in.
Perot messed that up, he was the only one with the money and the loathing of the Bush family. What Perot wrought I think is only debatably worse, and Clinton WAS and IS a disaster.
Carpetbagging works for these people. Others should not use them as a standard.
Jeb- FLa; Prescott- Conn; the Georges, Texas, but through Connecticut and Yale and Harvard
Chances are 1) Democrats were oversampled but that 2) Democrat vote fraud will give them 1-3% more than what these polls are showing.
I suspect one of the real reasons the libs wanted all these illegals streaming into the U.S, is just to register their names. From there, it is easy enough for the Dems to manufacture the voter registrations and vote by proxy for them. Why do you think they fight photo ID laws tooth and nail?
There is carpet bagging and there is carpet bagging.
W was born in New England but moved to Texas with his parents as a child and has lived most of his life there. I do not consider that carpet bagging.
I now live in state that I was not born in. But I have lived here for 30 years, went to college, here. Started a family and own a home here. If I ran for office here (which I have no intention) would I be considered a carpet bagger? I don’t think so.
With Scott Brown in NH, however, after losing his senate seat in MA it looks like he moved to NH for the specific purpose of running for office. And I don’t think it is playing well, hence the poor showing in the poll above.
Perdue has led Nunn by close to 10 points here in GA, per the latest polls. The libertarian is drawing 8 percent & only 5 percent remain undecided, again per latest polls.
My guess is McConnell will win. He is now ahead in the polls.
McConnell has never been very popular in KY.
But BHO and Harry Reid are even less so in that state.
The McConnell campaign will accurately portray Grimes as a proxy for both BHO and Reid which is all it really needs to do to win.

All through history there are examples of families which have been actively involved in politics. This was quite true in the ancient Roman Republic as well as early US History.
John Adams president, so was his son, John Quincy Adams.
William Henry Harrison was president, so was his grandson, Benjamin Harrison.
T
Right.
My meaning is that people compare politicians and races. When they compare to the Bush Clinton Kennedy royal trio, it amazes me and annoys me that they don’t see that these people are different.
They lose when someone huge comes along, and it is not in the hands of the voters.
The White House cannot go to anyone against one of these people unless that person is well equipped to communicate what this majority conservative country wants to hear on the republican side, that is, constitutional rule, or, on the dem side, massive bullying of the KBC by a major money guy, pandering to their 47% base and well funded fraud.
The Senate is similar.
The Bushes don’t carpetbag, but they fall into this all bets are off group whom no one should compare to on normal levels.
