Who’s Up, Who’s Down in Senate Races
In the wake of Foleygate, things are looking closer and closer in the Senate, according to analysis by the non-partisan Rasmussen Reports.
The group currently rates 49 seats as Republican or leaning Republican, 49 seats as Democratic or leaning Democratic and only 2 as toss-ups – New Jersey (Kean v. Menendez) and Missouri (Talent v. McCaskill).
Here’s a round-up of some recent polling:
Lieberman up by 8.
Santorum down by at least 5, but as much as 13.
Harold Ford, Jr. up by 7 (according to DSCC poll), but down by 2, according to SurveyUSA.
Chafee down by 10.
DeWine up barely.
Menendez up slightly.
