55 seat GOP Senate majority realistic

The latest polling data
shows Republicans gaining strength in several of the races for U.S.
Senate seats and now indicates a very real possibility of a 55 seat
majority after this year's election. Missouri Congressman Todd Akin seems to have largely recovered from his "legitimate rape" gaffe, after apologizing to voters for it, and his campaign has taken a small lead against incumbent Senator Claire McCaskill.






Four states have changed since the last GOP2112 analysis of the senate races of August 23,
and all of those states are moving in the direction of the GOP
candidates for those seats. Ohio has moved from toss-up to leans
Republicans while Michigan and Missouri have moved from leaning
Democrats to leaning Republican. The Hawaii senate race shows signs of
growing closer and is moved from likely Democrat to toss-up.






For this analysis, the project is 55 Republican senators, 44
Democratic senators and one toss-up race. This is a gain of three senate
seats for Republicans since the August 23 projection of 52 Republicans, 47 Democrats and one toss-up.




A breakdown of 7 states, including Florida, is at the link.

Yes, and some fools are thinking the Democrats are going to take the house.....the twilight zone is possible, but you better look at the polls mid October and wake up.......a landslide will have coattails.

You're getting more senile as the election gets closer. There's no way the Dems gain any ground in Congress with the failure they have perpetuated from 2007 to 2011. The GOP has been the only thing to put the brakes on the Obama spending spree.

i'll take gridlock any way i can get it.

The democrats will not take back the house unless Romney releases his tax returns. He will not. The republicans will not take back the senate, unless the President has a girlfriend. He has none. So I think the republicans are possibly going to pull a shocker off and win in CN, but they will lose Missouri. The Democrats are going to have a net gain in the house. You need to pick up a political science course for your continuing education, because you are basing your projections on the 2010 off year election.....look at history and learn.......and maybe you should pray that the allegations that someone is going to release Romney's tax returns is bogus........because even if they are stolen and released.....the gig will be up.

again...reaching for straws

again...reaching for straws

You must have your mattress full of straw by now....first you stuffed full with predictions that the Supreme Court would declare the health care bill unconstitutional, and now you are telling us that the senate will be won by Republicans. I guess you like your straw mattress firm.....because you sure have stuffed it lately.

Sure you got the Supreme Court right....one item in many years. However, the light does not shine on one dog's ass all of the time. The Supreme Court decision was based upon a turncoat justice looking to cement his legacy in history. The citizenry of America is a different story. Together we are going to shove the Socialist-Kenyan-Loser-in-Chief to the private sector that he says is doing fine.

You need to pay attention......I really can teach you a few tricks......first, they do have a mattress store.....this grasping for straws thing is tiring......I am thinking of getting one of those fancy mattresses where you can control the firmness of the bed without worrying about grasping at straws......nah....what fun would that be......

According to the news today on ABC, Missouri is starting to lean more Republican in spite of Akin's gaffe.
