From Rasmussen Reports:
The battle for control of the U.S. Senate is getting closer—much closer. Little more than a week ago, our Balance of Power summary showed the Republicans leading 50-45 with five states in the Toss-Up category. Today, Rasmussen Reports is changing three races from “Toss-Up” to “Leans Democrat.” As a result, Rasmussen Reports now rates 49 seats as Republican or Leans Republican while 48 seats are rated as Democrat or Leans Democrat (see State-by-State Summary) There are now just three states in the Toss-Up category--Tennessee, New Jersey, and Missouri.Only 50 days til November 7th.
Today's NY Times profiles the Virginia Senate race: "As Senator Falters, a Democrat Rises in Virginia." Six months ago, very few pundits would have predicted that George Felix Allen would be faltering and facing a very tough challenge, but he is.
