Wow. This is not good for retaking the Senate from the GOTP.
Her breaking the 50% mark is troubling to say the least.
Democrats are incapable of wining winnable elections as they run weak and feckless candidates who are afraid to fight and define their opponent. Somehow republicans figured out how take back the senate in 2014 why cant democrats figure it out. It shouldn’t be that tough
She should have been down by over 5% at this time. Dems may not be able to take the Senate.
While driving around the Seacoast of NH this weekend - which leans Democratic - I noticed that I didn’t see any Hillary signs. Four and 8 years ago at the start of September, you would have seen a lot of Obama signs. There is no strong enthusiasm for Hillary and this is really hurting Maggie Hassan. What a shame - Ayotte is an awful senator.
I don’t think there is much to this. That graph is all over the place. Up one day down the next. But I never though the Democrats would win the Senate anyway.
How many of you bought the NYT today? Or clicked on one of it’s links?
Not me.
Ugh. There’s still time for this to change…
Numbers don’t total to 100. Is there a third party candidate in this race?
Yes, I DID believe we could retake the Senate. I still think it’s within the realm of “possibility” not “probability”. The House just isn’t gonna happen for us.
If we can’t retake the Senate we’ve got some major problems on out hands, the 2018 midterms being just one. If Madame President isn’t able to show that she was able to do something constructive within her first year, no way we’re gonna be able to rally Dems to turn out the vote for 2018 which is where some state houses are up for grabs.
You think Maggie Hassan is feckless and weak? GTFOH.
Really, get out of here if you think it “shouldn’t be that tough.”
Ayotte’s rich backers have been savaging Maggie with attack ads. Hassan has had a fair number of good ads attacking Ayotte, and they may pay off by November 8th, especially if Hillary builds her lead over The Donald in NH, and Ayotte continues to say she’ll vote for him, but not endorse him–a position that hasn’t been ridiculed enough.
WTF??? how is this possible? She’s horrible.
I don’t know what to make of this poll. First its just one poll so it could be an outlier. Second it shows the NH presidential race MUCH closer than other NH polls. They have Clinton lead by only one point 37-36. They also give Johnson 17%. Third, and maybe most importantly, this poll might have only polled landlines. It says “HH SELECTION – LANDLINE FRAME ONLY”. I think it is saying it’s only landlines but honestly I don’t know for sure.
As I watch the electorate favor Trump in unconscionable percentages and it becomes clear that the Republicans are going to keep the Senate, I am becoming convinced that the country that gave us George Bush, 9-11, and two awful wars, deserve Donald Trump and A Republican congress. Let them wreck the country once and for all. The electorate is hopeless.
It’s too contentious. I don’t see many HRC or Trump signs here in CA and I know a few hard core supporters of each, if their FB feed is to be believed.
So Kelly, when are you going to push for doing your job and vote on the Supreme Court nominee, or are you just going to be another rubber stamp for Mitch and the Obstructionists?
It’s only September and those numbers are all over the place. Landlines only too.
RCP has Ayotte’s lead at 1.8% in their average of polls. Sam Wang has Hassan with a 2% lead. 8% seems like a really big swing from those averages. My guess is it’s still a 50/50 chance for either candidate. And BTW, Wang still has it at a 70% chance that Dems will retake the Senate.
