Senate Republicans have taken big leads in key battleground states, according to a new poll – suggesting the presence of Donald Trump at the top of the ticket may not be as damaging for congressional candidates as some party leaders feared
Democrats shrugged off the Senate polls, saying it was too far out to take too much from a poll
What else could they say?
I get two local newspapers. One is very liberal. The other makes sense. ;)
Last week, the liberal paper had all kinds of write ups about how Clinton raised something like $32k in our county whereas Trump only raised $750 total (from two donors). The conservative paper seemed to miss that story.
Today, the Conservative paper had a story about how Trump has moved ahead of Clinton in the latest polls. The Liberal paper seemed to miss that story.
I have a feeling watching the election is going to be like watching a ping pong tournament that goes into break points.

Winning the Senate is everything. I hope the trend continues.

I've said before, Trump carries celebrity status. He espouses some populist ideas that the general electorate could find favorable. His biggest problem is his mouth. Lately, it would seem that he's done some work on that.
I think this election will end up being nothing more than great TV for the cable media outlets and pundits. This will be reality TV on steroids.

All things being equal the GOP should hold onto the Senate. Incumbent Senators have huge advantages and are only rarely unseated.
