"Veteran election forecaster Stuart Rothenberg says at least one Senate Democrat incumbent now appears likely to lose his seat in November: New Jersey Sen. Robert G. Torricelli. . . . The New Jersey Democrat appeared to be cruising toward a second term until he was 'severely admonished' by the Senate ethics committee for taking gifts from a wealthy businessman seeking favors. "
'Torricelli is at or below the 40 percent mark (in polling), with his favorable-unfavorable ratings in the tank. Any incumbents with those numbers at this point in the election cycle is on political life support,' Mr. Rothenberg says."
