If you're district isn't on this list, it doesn't mean the Democrat is ahead, only that there is no polling demonstrating a Republican's lead.
I selected the best polling available for each of these races; In many cases, that means the most recent, but internal polls are viewed suspiciously. Internal polls are noted with a "D" or an "R" indicating which candidate paid for them.
SIXTY REPUBLICANS ALREADY LEADING

Note on poll quality: Many of these polls were conducted by polling firms with various interests in the election. They were not treated as internal polls unless my sources suggested the candidates paid for them. PPP (Public Policy Polling) is often paid for by DailyKOS, a very liberal-leaning organization, yet their polls usually are consistent with less partisan firms' polling. Many sources identify POS as Republican, but unless noted, they were not reported as having been paid for by a campaign, and their polling data actually tends more Democratic than comparable polls. Likewise, Tarrance and Moore polls are often identified as Republican, due only to having been affiliated with former Republican office holders. Monmouth, Franklin, Siena, Quinnipiac, Rutgers, and Hendrix refer to universities.
In all cases, the Republican is listed first.
Be still my heart.
Please forgive me a stupid question, I’m just waking up on the west coast... how many do we need to fire Pelousy?
We need only 39.
THAT’S ALL?????????????
Wow... thanks for a great wake up this morning!
The way I see it, pub ahead, pub tied with dem, pub slightly behind dem = pub victory on November 2 due to turnout and indies. That means probably over 100 seats turn pub. If that happens the senate will also turn pub.
Then we have start really kicking arse, and I mean pubbie arse to force them to keep their freaking paws from reaching across the aisle to the commies. If they are going to reach across the aisle it should be a right hook.
Have to beat them by 1 vote + x% due to fraud. Keep working. Get involved in antifraud if you see the opportunity.
Very nice work!
Thank you for posting it.
The biggest change of seats ever in history 76 back in 1922. We are up in 60 and close in 30. So if we take half of the toss ups we could match that number. Again anything over 40 is a victory. If Nancy Pelosi heads to the back bench we won. But if we were to wrack up the biggest win in history there is no way the Dems could spin it positively.
For the record, can the Obama care debacle be repealed without the Senate?
Not enough. I want 125. At least.
No, but it can be starved for cash.
Tea Party has to get more active after November 2. We’ve always become lazy as conservatives, during and after Reagan, after ‘94 as well. We need the movement to grow now because a holding action, keeping government spending the same, is now guaranteed destruction of our country through debt and loss of international leadership.
We need more!!!!
ADD: Georgia, District 8
Jim Marshall (incumbent-D) isn’t polling ahead of Austin Scott (R).
3 weeks ago it was “safe Democrat” and now it’s listed as a “toss-up” but still isn’t making the news.
If Austin wins then it will be a huge win.... this place has been Dem for a very long time.
Even if all these pan out and win,
that doesn’t mean a net gain of 60,
because some of these are ALREADY Repub seats, right?
From the U.S. Constitution, Article I Section 9:
“No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.”
Translation: BO cannot spend taxpayer dollars for his communist plan unless the Law calls for it, and if the House passes a law disallowing the money to be spent for it, the damn thing withers on the vine. :)
