Dems falling behind in latest polls for key Senate races
WASHINGTON — The path to a blue Senate is looking more unlikely, as even races with Democratic incumbents are turning out to be squeakers.

In Indiana, Democratic Sen. Joe Donnelly has fallen behind Republican Mike Braun among likely voters, 43 percent to 46 percent, according to a new CBS News Battleground Tracker poll released Sunday, a little more than a week from the Nov. 6 midterm elections.

In Florida, Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson and Republican Gov. Rick Scott, who is vying to take Nelson’s seat, are tied at 46 percent.

Among the bigger poll of registered voters, Scott has a two-point edge, with 42 percent saying they support the Republican, while 40 percent back the Democrat.

A third CBS News Battleground Tracker poll shows good news for Democrats, with Rep. Kyrsten Sinema three points ahead of Republican Rep. Martha McSally in Arizona.

Michigan: Republican John James Chips Away at Sen. Stabenow’s Lead
The post-Kavanaugh electoral map has not been kind to Democrats — challengers and incumbents alike.

In Michigan, Republican challenger John James is steadily gaining on Sen. Stabenow.




Just two days ago, polls had Stabenow 10 points up. New polling shows that lead reduced to 7 points.
On their own, polls are not particularly helpful, but it’s the trends that matter. As with many other national races, the polling in Michigan is rapidly trending in James’ favor.

Take a look at the Real Clear Politics poll trend:



Fox News has more:

Underdog Republican Senate candidate John James appears to be gaining momentum in Michigan, as the latest polls show the political newcomer cutting incumbent Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow’s once-comfortable lead in half.


James, an Iraq War veteran, is now trailing the incumbent by roughly 7 points, according to the latest Real Clear Politics average of polls.

The split is similar to the race in Texas, where Democrat Beto O’Rourke is trailing incumbent Republican Sen. Ted Cruz. Like O’Rourke, James remains the underdog.

But unlike in Texas, the polls in Michigan reflect a steady tightening. Stabenow, D-Mich., for months had led by double digits. As of mid-October, Stabenow was 16 points ahead of James, according to an MRG poll.
From John James: “I don’t have a black message or a white message, I have an AMERICAN message. I’m living the American Dream, and I WILL protect the Dream for future generations. We need fuel to complete our mission!”

And, “I’m a West Point grad & Iraq vet w/ 2 masters
My dad: Vietnam vet & entrepreneur
His dad: mason
His dad: sharecropper
His dad: slave.
Mooching? My family never asked for free stuff, just a fair shot. We can’t allow the American Dream to be crushed by you, @Stabenow & Socialism”

All well and good, but what this country needs is a Republican supermajority. The ultra left contingent of the democratic party needs to be broken, stripped of power and expunged.
And once they have lost all their power the charges need to follow. An example must be made.

November 6: If Dems win the House, expect impeachment. If Dems take the Senate, no more Trump judges.

I'm more concerned about the House at this point.

I am too. My local Congressman (a Republican) is neck and neck with his (Democratic) opponent. Our district has a Democratic advantage in registration numbers and enough hippies, hipsters, SJWs, BLM-types, and good ol' fashioned socialists that I think it may tip the wrong way this time.

The whole political system is in serious need of an enema.

I'm talking about a margin wide enough to render "nuclear" options moot.
