Dems lead in 3 of 7 most vulnerable Republican-held states |
2006-10-06 |
Democrats must gain six seats in the November 7 election to recapture U.S. Senate control, and they lead in three of the seven most vulnerable Republican-held states, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Thursday. Democrats lead Republican incumbents in Montana, Rhode Island and Pennsylvania. Republican incumbents lead in Virginia and Missouri, the polls found, with races in Republican-held Ohio and Tennessee deadlocked. The polls of at least 600 likely voters in each state have a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points. |

#6 Dems lead in 3 of 7 Headlines like this crack me up, but I guess journalists have a better sense of propaganda than statistics. Just remember that it's bad luck to be behind at the end. |

#5 In an non Presidential election year one of the biggest factors is getting your people to the polls. The Dem's full court press on Foley is not designed to persuade voters to pull the Donk button but rather to de-motivate the Republn voter drive. |

#3 You might be right today, but this page scandal looks set to backfire. The donks have presented no rational policy alternative in a year when they should have been able to make substantial gains.If they end up not taking either house, they're going to look like the Paleos of politics. |

#2 Um, no, two have very modest Republican leads, within the margin of error in the polls (New Joisey and Missouri), and two are deadlocked (Ohio and Tennessee), with divided polls. Most polls I read, however, put the Dhimmis ahead in Ohio. I fear that if the election was held today the Repubs would lose them all save New Jersey. |
