To finish up the weekend on a bit of a positive note, polling groups around the nation are starting to shift their models from registered voters to likely voters as the days until November shrink. One in particular will be of interest and it’s in the highly contested state of Arkansas. We always thought Mark Pryor was in trouble, but he has been holding on in the polls surprisingly well. This week, the NBC/Marist poll, which previously showed Pryor in a fairly solid position, has taken a big turn and Tom Cotton (who did an interview for Hot Air back in April) has moved into the lead.
Sen. Mark Pryor (D-Arkansas) has slipped behind his challenger, Rep. Tom Cotton (R), 40% to 45% among likely voters, the survey said. That’s a huge shift from the firm’s May poll that found Pryor ahead by 11 points among all registered voters.
Democrats face uphill terrain in their quest to keep the Senate as many of the key races are in Republican-leaning states where President Barack Obama is deeply unpopular.
That wasn’t the only turn of the political worm this weekend. In Kentucky, Alison Grimes has seen a similar negative shift in the winds of fate.

If anything, I want to see Franken humiliated.
He does that well enough all by himself. I'd prefer to see him defeated.
Ah....but if word got out that Franken has used the N-word.........
They don’t understand polls of ‘registered’ voters vs those of ‘likely’ voters. FReepe Dales taught us that years ago.
By October first, the bottom will fall out and it will turn into a rout.
Don’t believe the BS having any “close” race going to the Dems.
In many parts of the country, Obama is going to drag down Democrat candidates this fall because of his unpopularity.
O knows it, that’s why he backed off on immigration till the election is over.
Obama has to jack up his popularity fast so watch out for a wild ride in politics the next two months.
