I await the royal hissy fit that Harry Reid will throw when the denoument comes…
The 2014 November midterm elections are nearly here, and Democratic and Republican candidates across the country are bracing for the inevitable conclusion to months of campaigning.
But even as certain forecast models downgrade the GOP’s chances for taking Congress’ upper chamber, several recent polls signal that Republicans will indeed walk away from November with many victories and perhaps a Senate majority.
Here are the top nine polls from this week that hint at good news for the GOP:
Colorado:
In a Quinnipiac survey released Thursday, Rep. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., holds a 48 percent to 40 percent lead over Democratic Sen. Mark Udall, a figure that likely has Democratic strategists scrambling.
“It’s a tight race, was always going to be that way. Internals have been steady, no wild swings like you see in the news,” Udall’s campaign manager, Adam Dunstone, tweeted. “Lots of noise this week, but all internals since March have Udall leading, with last two 47/42 & 48/42. Onward!”
The same poll showed former Rep. Bob Beauprez, R-Colo., on pace to defeat Colorado’s Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper, up by a full 10 points.
