We've seen lots of high-quality Senate polls this past week. And many of the polls, if accurate (key caveat!), paint a very nice picture for Republicans looking to win the Senate majority.
In fact, the GOP over the past week and a half has seen its best poll to date in more than a half dozen races: Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Kentucky, New Hampshire and Louisiana (according to Real Clear Politics compilation of polls). For example, a Fox News poll on Wednesday showed Rep. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) leading Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) 51 percent to 38 percent in a likely runoff, former senator Scott Brown (R-N.H.) tied with Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) in a CNN/Opinion Research poll, and Republican Joni Ernst with a six-point lead in a Quinnipiac poll. Just today, a Quinnipiac poll shows Rep. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) leading Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.) by an almost unthinkable eight points. Reported by Washington Post 1 day ago.
