Tight contests mark critical Senate races — CBS News Battleground Tracker poll
CBS News ^ | 28 October 2018 | Anthony Salvanto, Jennifer De Pinto, Kabir Khanna, Fred Backus and Jennie Kamin

Tight contests dominate the Senate landscape: In Florida, incumbent Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson and Republican Gov. Rick Scott are tied among likely voters, 46 percent to 46 percent including those who have cast ballots already. Scott, the sitting governor, gets positive marks from voters on his handling of the recent hurricane and benefits from Republicans reporting that they're more likely to vote than the Democrats who haven't already.

Nelson's support, meanwhile, is underpinned by voters who place health care atop their issues list. The Republicans have a favorable map in their effort to hold their Senate majority, and winning two or three of these states would probably put them in strong position to hold it. Democrats would probably need wins in all three to have a good shot at taking the Senate.

Arizona:

Health care concerns have helped Democrat Kyrsten Sinema to a slight three-point advantage over Republican Martha McSally, 47 percent to 44 percent.

Indiana:

But Republican chances of holding on to their Senate majority – or even adding to it – are helped by the prospect of picking up a seat in Indiana, where Republican Mike Braun leads incumbent Democrat Joe Donnelly, 46 percent to 43 percent.

Translation.

Tight in the left wing polls = the Republican is actually leading

I’m not an expert by any means but I’d be surprised if DeSantis and Scott lose.

Fake news, fake polls. Is there really a difference?

Ridiculous. Even AZ insiders who are, in my opinion, WAAAYYY too cautious with indies given to Enema have McSally up.

CBS uses an inordinately high “yut” vote, which is in reality lagging badly everywhere.

I have heard-—can’t recall where-—that McSally is up 3 points with indies. If that’s the case, she’ll win by 5.

Look at the number of writers - the more writers assigned to a story, the more lies it contains.

See BS, no media poll is credible. They designed to push a horse race mentality to keep people uptight and watching

CBS like the rest of the damnable Lying Leftist Fake Stream Enemedia™ is still publishing fake news about all of this just like they did in 2016, though this time it’s “tight” instead of 97% guaranteed that hillary will win ... they’re basing their lies on wishful thinking, propaganda, fake polls, and polls that don’t work anymore ... I greatly look forward to Nov. 6-7 to see this blow up in their faces AGAIN: leftist moonbats screaming insanely at the moon, yes, but more importantly perhaps the realization by the fake main stream media that its day to influence has indeed really come and gone forever ... largely the result of their insane, obvious and over-the-top propaganda, fake news, and lies and the fact that President Trump has stood tall, fought them, not backed down an inch, and provoked them into self-destructing ...

group of writers....


Ben Franklin said I long ago resigned myself to not write anything that will be revised by a committee.

“Tight races”. Tight we don’t need. Let’s go, GOP voters!
Suspense is too hard on my nerves.

The media has done a remarkable job protecting Sinema. Otherwise, she wouldn’t get 30% of the vote if they reported the things she has done and said. If they are reported at all, they are reported as being “accusations” “from McSally”.

After 2016 I’ve given up on polls. I’ll go out and vote on November 6th and then sit and watch the returns that evening. I will be pleased with some races and disappointed with other races but nothing is really going to surprise me.

Don't know how accurate these numbers are.

I'm sticking with my many predictions, pubbies pick up 10-12 senate seats {and if I'm wrong by 25% I don't care}.

On a separate subject:

I had been a Steeler season ticket holder for almost 40 years, saw my first game at age 10 in Forbes Field in 1951, turned on the Steeler/Browns game for the first time in two years, and saw something I have NEVER SEEN IN 67 YEARS OF WATCHING STEELER FOOTBALL.

Empty seats down in the first level, the MONEY seats for a Steeler/Browns game at the kick off.

My first season tickets were in 1966 at Pitt Stadium, $3/game $21 per season, and even though the Steelers stunk like skunk piss, the Brown's fans filled all of the 'Money Seats' {$5-7 per game}. The only fun we had back then was beating the hell out of the victorious drunk Brown's fans {and those loud mouthed bastards deserved it}.

The NFL is puke'n blood.

No, Health care isn’t a major issue, but immigration and jobs are.

I like the prediction! I will say 5-7 Senate seats and we hold the House.
