Can someone please post sites where we can follow the house and senate races nationwide, with an emphasis on how many seats the Republicans and expect to gain or lose?

[SuziQ]

I didn't even realize that there WAS a Senate race in CA this year! How far behind Boxer is Jones right now? It would be SO SWEET to see that harridan defeated!!

[VRWC_minion]

but from what I can see from afar, neither one is going to make a great senator

Unlike John Kerry.

Burr is not leading??! Good grief. Visit the tah heels right away, GW.

Check out Free Republic.

You'll get in-depth coverage of every competitive race.

House: Republicans will pick up 4 or 5 seats in Texas, might lose Max Burns in Georgia, have Anne Northrup in another close race in Kentucky (up 7 in latest poll), Rick Renzi (AZ) and Jon Porter (NV) each up by 11, and Jim Gerlach (PA) looking to consolidate his hold on his district. Etc Etc Etc

What took so long for this poll to come out? This was done before the GOP convention.

He just did last week.

I was hoping for a more targeted link, but thanks for the bit of info all the same.

As we all have said, "The GOPers in North Carolina could pull a name out of the phone book and beat irksome." He couldn't beat Libby straight up. He sure as hell aint beating Burr with the president at the top of the ticket.
Remember the lying ratmedia polls that had him winning big last time? Ha ha ha ha !!!!!

I think 'cause it was done for NC Free. They paid for it so they don't necessarily cough up the results right away.

If Burr was down 3% before the Republican National Convention, then he's probably ahead right about now. Don't you think?

[blteague]

Yipee!!! I was wondering how things were playing out here in NC. I am in Charlotte and all I see is Irksome...I say, he looks like a ferret.

Go Burr! Bring on the red meat!

Nah, I think it depends how you treat the leaners. There are a lot of 'undecideds' in this poll and I bet they're mostly leaning to Bowles, and that should count for something, 'cause even if they're soft Burr's still going to have to win them over, and Bowles is working those folks hard. It might be two weeks before the election before we see even one non-partisan poll with Burr in the lead. The Cleland-Chambliss race (which I think this resembles) showed Cleland ahead until the week before the vote, and only some of the final polls showed Chambliss in the lead.

This is the first poll I have seen on this race in a long long time.

Alas, most Californians don't realize it, either. I haven't seen a poll recently, but Boxer is still ahead by a safe margin. A quick Bush trip through the state with Arnold and Jones could narrow the gap.

Let's hope for long Bush coattails
