Today, RealClearPolitics has the Dems winning the Senate 50-50 with the tie vote Dem because Kaine/Hillary will be elected. Seems like a stretch and another reason to discount RCP.
(Excerpt) Read more at realclearpolitics.com ...
Best they can “Hope” for is 49, with Republicans holding 51.
At this point I could care less if the GOP elects a single Congressman or Senator. Really no difference at this point between the parties.
Clear as mud.
I always had a bad taste for them..
RCP has no more idea what will happen than you or I do. They do however have to fill the void to keep people coming to their site.
except for the Supreme Court.
I know this much. I’m not voting for Marco Rubio.
You’d love it in California. Give them a super majority and watch the radical supreme court nominees. Not that it would mater though because all the UN treaties they would sign onto would negate the supreme court anyway.
they average Rubio as +5 but have him as a tossup ?
RCP is unreliable!
They average in all these OUTLIAR Polls where they have Democrats with D+9, D+8, D+16 LOL
Real Clear Politics went to the dark side a while back. :-(

First of all, D+8 or D+11 . . . needs to have come from somewhere. If the calls are population density derived and that’s the response they are getting, then that’s bad.
If they looked at 2012’s Registration stats, then indeed there WAS a D+9 Dem advantage, and the polls may be trying to conform to that. FYI Pew’s sample Jan to Aug this year has a D+4 registration advantage, but that’s less official than the 2012 numbers.
It’s called “garbage in, garbage out”
I will vote Trump and a straight 'R' ticket and if Trump loses, I will join what I believe will be an exodus of millions of white men, angry and fed up, who disenfranchise themselves from the electoral process.
That's when things will get interesting.
This white woman is right behind you.
Thank you for referencing that article pabianice. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.
Patriots beware!
Simple majority control of the Senate is next to worthless imo. This is because the Constitution requires a 3/4 supermajority Senate vote in order for the Senate to do things like remove corrupt, House-impeached presidents from office and override presidential vetoes.
In fact, I wouldn’t be supprised if the corrupt Washington cartel doesn’t want the Senate to have a 2/3 supermajority in order to protect corrupt presidents. How else could lawless Obama have finished a second term?
we need the senate to pass or block supreme court nominees.
Honestly, at this point I can believe a Hillary landslide, a Trump landslide, a Hillary close win, a Trump close win, a GOP Senate, or a Dem Senate.
I don’t know what to believe.
